No worries Don, once again we were the only team in with a chance
right up till the last ball - that's 2 out of 3 Tests our way now.
Hopefully we finish em off at the Bullring, square the series and keep
the Dolly Trophy. Then a series win in India and we're back to no.
1 :-)

It's good that we have perceptive observers such as you
to tell us what's really going on. Otherwise, those of
us who are following the matches at a distance might
easily think that it's England that's leading.

Wanderers should traditionally support SA kind of bowling if the
wicket
holds good of course and has not been damaged by the ICC No Champions
trophy matches played as it happened in Centurion which became a dull
wicket for the Ist Test.

SA vs India should be great to watch. I won't support either team
during the series. May the best team win that series.

Whats wrong in what he wrote? SA did play better cricket in
2 of the 3 tests. He did mention squaring the series after a
win at Wanderers.

The news will devastate both teams. Each must have
been hoping that you'd support the other.

Of course this is what's known as a Moral Victory, and we all know these are
much more valuable than actual victories.

Yes, something that the Aussies were not able to do against South
Africa at Melbourne...or against England at Cardiff....i don't wanna
mention about
Sydney again which may bring you pain as it was the start of Aussie
decline
when they got 10 wickets without even taking all of them!!!

You don't understand.

Where did I say SA won? I just said they had the best of the 2 drawn
games.

How things change. Time was that the only team which earned moral
victories was England (with a few Scots thrown in). Obviously the
number of South Africans in the English team has inverted the order of
things, so that now South Africa earns the moral victories. Go,
England, go.

Ummm, no. That would be what's called a "tie". Even Stevens.

there. But we are willing to put up with you newbies, don't worry.

Here comes the genius back again, who cancelled his messages on Apr
Ist after beleiving an April fool post, LOL.

Now ofcourse to save his burned ass, he has become a fairweather
supporter of whichever team is doing well at the moment. Of course,
his semen drools on Aussie team is of no value now since their
decline. Nor is his brain-shags on
the Kiwi team which is some years away from abandoning cricket
altogether. Not
to mention of course that his poor idols like Dravid is no longer in
the ODIs, Kumble
is retired and Dravid has been relegated as another something in
Tests. Poor thing
i can sense his frustration now that has led him to become a
fairweather supporter now that all his predictions bit the dust.

Yeah, the first such visarjan was seen when Amrita Rao (predicted to
be
the next hot sensation) was reduced to a reality show nobody.

Of course, he is still not satisfied thats why he just spoke so soon,
some 33
days before an event when such a rare glimpse will be seen again.

How did the draw at the Centurian "go your way"? Draws are draws mate,
and judging from the Durban Test it did SA little good at all. They
have come short again at Cape Town, and if that Test went "their way"
as you put it I am not sure anyone told Smith and his boys as they
tramped off the field. The only ones celebrating were the English.
