Gerald de Kock
Gerald de Kock is a South African sports commentator specialising in cricket. Formerly media manager of the South African national cricket team, he is currently chief cricket presenter on SuperSport, having worked previously for the SABC.
As communications officer for the Proteas, De Kock's task was every day to monitor all that was said and written about the team in the global media. "During the game," he told Nagraj Gollapudi in 2004, "I have to gauge the pulse of the media box, and, based on the chief talk of the day, I warn the players about certain points. I don't tell them what to say; I just need to let them be aware of things."[1]
Gerald is now a prominent figure on the weekly TV show: Super Cycling. Here, he discusses cycling news from around the world. One of Gerald's biggest successes throughout his long, long life, is that he frequently gets to work with the Le Roux boys of Bigshot Media.
Gerald has become somewhat part of the furniture at the Bigshot Media offices, often being referred to as a rustic antique. Jean Fourie, the soundie at Bigshot, once tried to auction De Kock off at an antique roadshow. Unfortunately Gerald never met the reserve price.
