What i found disappointing was the lack of South African supporters at the matches..
Why is it that the english and scots have such large numbers when they play any sport overseas.

But then it was too be expected, there was always empty spaces at World Cup 2010.

lol... Tipster, I think you need to back a couple of horse winners if you are going to be so quick to claim to be right about something! <
I think it is mostly mental Tipster, he's 35 and had KP to deal with
Anyway, think overall he has been a fine player and though I didn't like his style he certainly had some captaincy achievements, shall be missed and my thanks to him for some great times.

We are number 1 say we are number 1
We are number 1 say we are number 1

only dave and englander will get it.

Strauss to stand in a by election for the Tories. Dont be surprised if he is next seen in the House of Commons.

what about Trott, he could bat 3, if Amla opened, or 5 after Kallis. It is only Steyn, who has been the best bowler for some time, that has got him out but he would be a certainty for the SA team.
