Cape Town Current and former players of the Cape Cobras have paid tribute to former all-rounder Con de Lange who sadly lost his battle with a brain tumour last week.Former team-mate Rory Kleinveldt led the tributes to De Lange. He tweeted: "RIP Con de Lange!!! Someone I woulda taken 2 war with me any day of the week! Such a good soldier lost way 2 soon!! Condolences 2 Claire and the kids #loveyoubrother." JP Duminy, who played with De Lange as well, concurred. "I played with Con. Rory summed it up beautifully, a man you would have taken with to war any day. He was a fighter, a man who stood for the phrase day in and day out 'never give up'. I had the great privilege of meeting up with him in Scotland three years ago and I could see that that attitude had certainly not changed. A man who loved his family dearly and I have no doubt they will follow his legacy."
A talented all-rounder, De Lange was a middle-order batsman, a slow left-arm spin bowler and an excellent fielder who played for Boland, the Cape Cobras, the Knights, Northamptonshire and Scotland.
