Such visits by star cricketers are frequent. "We offer packages for clients to come and watch the cricket in our hospitality lounge. Our motive is to provide them with entertainment throughout the South African cricket summer. "I have similar suites in various stadia across the country. There is a lot of interest among spectators during the rugby season too," said de Bruyn. So what is so special about watching cricket from his lounge? "Cricketers pay visits to my lounge all the time; I am friends with most of them.u00a0 Rudi Bryson, who played for South Africa during India's tour here in 1996-97, also paid a visit to De Bruyn's hospitality centre. Speaking about the ongoing Test, Bryson said India's batsmen looked to be frightened of the short-pitch bowling: "They seemed too scared, mate. These are supposed to be the best batsmen in the world, but their technique against quality fast bowling was questionable. "I have no doubt that Tendulkar &amp; Co will fire later on in the series, but they need to turn it around quickly."
