CAPE TOWN — It seems increasingly clear that the Proteas will hardly be weakened if Rory Kleinveldt finally gets to represent his country at home venue Newlands against New Zealand in the first Test from next Wednesday.

The born-and-bred Capetonian will earn his cap if fellow Cobras seamer Vernon Philander fails to recover from injury in time for the New Year encounter.

Philander aggravated an old left hamstring problem after bowling just five overs in a pre-Christmas Sunfoil Series match for his log-leading franchise against the Titans at the ground.

Considering that a recovery period of up to two weeks has been recommended, he is racing against time to make the cut for the January 2 start to the fixture against the Black Caps.

No. 1-ranked South Africa were due to start their preparation with a Newlands training session yesterday afternoon.

Of course, losing the services of one of the world’s best Test bowling finds of the last year would be a blow to Graeme Smith’s outfit, but if Kleinveldt is drafted into the mix instead, the national side will be fielding a player in an encouragingly resurgent mode.

Plenty of people, after all, were ready — and not without some justification — to brand the burly 29-year-old a “one-Test non-wonder

LISTENING to Rory Rootenberg sing is like being on a musical rollercoaster, such is his incredible vocal range and falsetto of about four and a half octaves. But whatever he chooses to wrap his vocal chords round, the audience can rest assured they’re in for a quality performance.

Born in Johannesburg, Rootenberg, an Afrikaans-speaking Jewish boy, first honed his musical talent at KwaZulu-Natal’s famed Drakensberg Boys’ Choir School.

“Being at the school was wonderful,” he says, “we sang for two hours every day. It really was a foundation for me.”

He later studied singing with the well-known baritone professor, Werner Nel of Potchefstroom University, before going on to carve a niche for himself in professional show business, starring in shows such as Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, The Sound of Music, Me and my Girl and Crazy for You.

An undoubted career highlight was winning the coveted title role in the Phantom of the Opera in The Really Useful Company’s productions in Cape Town and Johannesburg in 2004, but Rootenberg admits it wasn’t ever a huge dream to be in the Andrew Lloyd-Webber classic.

“Being in Phantom was never a dream of mine … but being in it was a huge bonus. It is an ab
