Watching Raymond Price in action is one of modern cricket’s great sights, a curious blend of excitement, facial contortions, Seles-like groans and good, honest left-arm orthodox spin bowling; watch him take off when he snares a wicket, and you see a pure jubilation few others across the professional sporting spectrum come close to touching.
And when you saw his reaction to having Graeme Smith caught on the midwicket boundary, or the awkward, shuffling dance he brought out in celebration, then you saw a sight at odds with the sanitised world of commercial sport: somebody playing the game for the love of it, and no more.
