How fickle we are! We often take away from our victory by over analysing the match or circumstances. Ever heard the saying, a near miss is as good as missing it by a […]
The venom of the South African pace attack has proven too much for the Black caps as they were once again destroyed in their first inning. Was it not for a gutsy display […]
Bobby discusses the second test starting tomorrow, and Paul looks at the period leading up to when the official number one side in test cricket is crowned. We came across a wonderful website […]
In my opinion, the Black caps never stood a chance due to the failures of its management structures. New Zealand Cricket (NZC) failed the team, and specifically the players, by not providing them […]
The team takes a break this week. Our sincere thanks to the many readers who broke the mould and joined us on the blog. Dit was toe glad nie so erg nie, was […]
In my opinion, this is South Africa’s best 5-day test XI since readmission. Please note that I did not consider persons with less than 40 test matches. The balance of the side is: […]

Not one article on this subject gives the Aussies any chance of stopping the victorious All Blacks, on their relentless march to a new record winning streak. It is fearsome, that one side […]
What a joy it was to see the Blitsbokke perform so well over the weekend. The game against the All Blacks clearly showed that they have no hang-ups, or hangovers, from their previous […]
Let’s just pause for a moment and ask WHY I am in such awe of this team. Well, consistency has never been a problem for the All Blacks but they have something as […]
Leonard Cohen’s song of the same name contains the following lines: “Baby I’ve been here before/I’ve seen this room and I walked this floor” The question is: in which room, and on what […]
Another ICC tournament and the Proteas are yet again on the brink of the ejection edifice. (The word PME comes to mind – editor) Australia thumped the Proteas yesterday. Perhaps a little payback […]
