Would have voted for Germany - but that wasn't on the list....
Naa - until 1992 I didn't even no what cricket is. Than I arrived in SA and was just in time for the first series after readmission against India. (Kumble looked real sweet with those glasses..
)...
So there I was watching TV and not having a clue what I am watching. Looked really strange - and a lot of goals (272/5 or something). Strange...
But the folks in the pub got me going and since I always liked sport (watching baseball between 1am and 5am while having to go to work...) I started picking up on it.
From than to really liking it was a small step. Those were the days of Keppler, BicMac (Millan), Kirsten Brothers, Mathews, Cullignan to name but a few. And they were playing players like Border, Hughes, Atherton, Akram - you name them.
So SA were the underdogs against all of those - and since I always had a heart for the underdog and since SA is my adopted home coutry - well - South Africa it has to be.
Second team? Well - I love the Irish - so Ireland it is. Lovely team colours as well...
Bit of a testimony now...sorry.
So the news from the middle is - South Africa
