Attention All South Africans!!

[Dean]

This website is indeed a great idea, the thought behind it is also commendable. Unfortunatly the people behind it and most of the people who subscribe to it think that cricket belongs to them, and them alone.

Why is'nt South Africa getting ANY credit for bowling Australia out for 96 in Cape Town, instead fans are quick to blame it on the pitch, or an injured Australian line up...
South Africa is definatly the team to watch, but "experts" would rather harp on about a usuless England cricket team, or an inconsistant Sri Lankan team who are failing to impress against Bangladesh...

Don't worry, I'm sure some arrogant Englishman or Australian would come up with a snyde comeback to discredit this post, that's unless the "Almighty Directors" don't lock this post first...

Welcome Dean we need and want lots more Sth Afr posters on our forum

Yes a great effort by the South Africans to bowl out the Aussies, but lets see how they go in the Test Matches before we become to excited.

It is also a good idea to stay of the 'wacky tobaccy' before posting as it tends to make you a little paranoid

So when did SA last beat "useless" England, and when did they last dominate Australia?

You're one of them arrogant englishmen aren't you?

 

[marc71178]

Well I'm not an "almighty director", that's for sure.

However I don't see the arrogance in asking Dean to substantiate how come England are "useless", unless it wasn't a typo and he thinks that they're "usuless" - which is probably a compliment.

 

[alternative]

No serious comments have been dashed out by South African's as they haven't won the ODI series yet and more than that.. they need to still perfrom in the Tests...

If they do win the series.. expect alot of South African threads!!

Err - try this series, chum...

So explain how England are not useless in ODIs, with a team packed with the wonders of Strauss, Vaughan, Collingwood, Jones, Blackwell and Plunkett?

Err - try this series, chum...

I think Marc meant 'real' cricket?!

 

[Richard]

Well... given that a) ODIs are "real" cricket and b) the match alluded to in the opening post was a ODI, I'd think it's more cogitiative to refer to ODIs...

 

[PY]

a) ODIs are "real" cricket

Was your sense of humour lost at birth or did you exchange it at the local Cash Converters for a pedantic trait?

Oh dear, its just because we don't exactly have many fans on this forum..

It never existed.
Or at least not in a conventional sense.

1. The 'people behind this site' work extremely hard in order to provide a vehicle for sensible, intelligent people to discuss cricket in a friendly manner with fans all around the world. Cricket belongs to the whole world - you of all people should realise that. Hansie Kronje sold it to them.

2. Why do you feel the need to lambast the current Sri Lanka and England sides on the one hand, yet feel that you have to go all the way back to 1996 in order to find a South African performance worth talking about? Oh, wait, there haven't been that many that haven't included the phrases "Yes, no, yes, no, come one, no, wait oh damn" or "I was sure that 229 meant that we won. Do you think it's a typo?" since.

3. Snyde enough?
