Cyclist Hoffmann pipped cricketer Gerrie Snyman to the post after some exceptional performances abroad this year. Hoffman came 22nd in the road race at the Olympic Games, second overall in the Tour de Korea and second overall in the Tour of Thailand. He also came fifth in the Tour de Taiwan and sixth in the Tour of East Java.

Submitted by admin on Fri, 10/31/2008 - 22:42.A brace of lbws just before the close by Peter Connell has put the ICC Intercontinental Cup final on a knife-edge at stumps on day two at St George’s Park as Namibia will resume in the morning at 14-2 some 68 runs ahead of Ireland.
It didn’t take Ireland long to wrap up the one first-innings wicket remaining after the first day with Kola Burger being bowled by Connell after he and Louis Burger had added nine runs to the overnight total giving it a final first innings tally of 250.
