Alex, Never said the people of South Africa don’t care, I’m sure you guys do. But this team, even with its new found spinners, are robotic. And as for Jacque’s remodelling himself as a 2020 opener, he may now make the runs, but he still has no 4th or 5th gear, and he never will because he protects his wicket like it is an angel from heaven. He was set, he had to go, he didn’t, JP couldn’t and you lost, again.

I’m out of here. Nobody seems to think that South Africans care. We’re just robotic cricketers who choke in world cups.

It’s taken me until today to stop the tears, and a mere 10 minutes to start the heartache again. The scars run deep and will in all likely hood never heal. Smith has captained well, grown as a man and a cricketer but the “fans” will bay for his blood again. Jacques has reinvented himself in T20, played match-winning roles and the “fans” will simply say – poor show fat boy. New talent has been unearthed, spin nurtured, the game grown tremendously in a country with enough division and historic hatred to fill the world a million times, bridges built to unite a country fighting from a legacy of hatred and murder in the name of political and racial advantage; and all the fans and world watchers can say is: South Africa Choke Again.

Worse – most of these “fans” baying for blood and belittling the players will be from their own country. Seriously – there are some fans who feel every slung stone.

Oh, and Abigail – “At last Jacques can bat, something Smith can only wish he could do”. *cough* bullshit *cough* get some facts and knowledge about the game before making idiotic statements. It may not be pretty, but Smith can bat just fucking fine.

Glorious innings from Jacques. Shades of the group match against Straya in the 07 World Cup. South Africa cruising at 0-150 odd in the 21st over. Then de Villiers gets run out from a ridiculous direct hit from the boundary by Watson to bring Jacquesy boy to the crease. That's when the fun started. A shame he missed out on the not out in that match too. Peter Della Penna’s last blog post..If I ever move to India, I want to own an effigy store.

Smith lost it for them again. He’s too fat and tactically poor.

It was classic - Smith had given up way before the end, just sitting back in his chair with a sickly grin on his face, thinking 'yep, Jacques fancies a not out here'. theoldbatsman’s last blog post..Call them Ishmael
