Remember Rudi Bryson? The express quick, who once tormented Shane Warne with ball and bat, now owns a suite at SuperSport Park, where he serves drinks with a flourish. Aditya Iyer of the Indian Express catches up with him.
Flipping a vintage whiskey bottle around his head, he grabs it near his shoulder in one motion, before the concoction is neatly poured into four shot glasses without a spill. The impressed customers leave a happy lot to their seats, before his bartending skills are put on display yet again with bottles of ale, cider, beer and other hard liquors. As his clients soon growl with hungry stomachs, he switches his apron for a chef’s toque. A few minutes later, he joins the satisfied bunch at their majestic view to watch a game of cricket at Centurion.
