Evan Flint, the man who produced the Cape Town pitch that gave India and South Africa equal opportunities to win the first Test, worries mainly about two things. The first is the 22 yards under his care at Newlands, and the second is Travis, his Staffordshire terrier who waits patiently for his master to come home to be taken for a walk.Flint, who played club cricket in England and was Kevin Pietersen's peer at Maritzburg College - (he doesn't really like talking about KP, being a shy and polite guy) - has only once worked outside of his beloved South Africa.
