@nama1 : The yarpies are sure to choke against the Aussies again, even if Punter's team aren't the favourites.

You can’t choke if you are not the favourites.

For the first time India is the favourites in a series against SA IN SA. It will be a cracker, I tell you.

Unlike that little series between that two “also ran” going on Down Under. Only thing of interest in that series is how the South Africans perform. And up to now, they are doing brilliantly, wouldn’t you say?

I see that you are now even selecting players (Beer) after consultation with another South African (Arthur). You know, our former coach who is now trying to teach you how to play cricket.

My goodness…how the mighty/arrogant have fallen.

Speaking of choking…you mean like that other team in that other sporting code? What do they call them again?

… Oh yeah…now I remember…you support that team, don’t you?

@TheTackler : Choking in World Cups? Don't go there. You,of all people,should know that. @BishopsOD : Bangladesh 5 Black Caps 0 India 5 Black Caps 0 Well, lets put it this way, I know who aren't favourites. They're just making up the numbers.

@bokke baiter : before you can embark on that noble enterprise you must ensure that Wikus is on board .

@TheTackler : Dunno about choking, this time around. They will limp into the tournament instead of outright favourites after nearly two years of poor ODI form, with England and India looking the real deal. Outsiders for the first time since 1992. Is it a choke if you are an outsider?

@nama1 : The Proteas will choke again. Obviously. They're experts.

@TheTackler : Tackler, sometimes you have some really valid and relevant arguments and points, and then on other occasions you just come accross as a dooooooooos!

“Blitz — those greasy, oily blocks that catch fire and then just burn out to nothing under a pile of dead wood?”

Blitz – What South Africans do to the Australian cricket team. Even under the guise of English players.

Four 100′s by English players in two test matches… 3 of them by SA born players, including a double hundred.

How are you going to handle the REAL DEAL in two years time?

Had to go to supersport to get results

Who beat the Poms? I watched from the sideline and they klapped the AB’s in Dubai?

Boks are consistent, that’s great, but they going to have to bring a big game to the English. They big, fast, and direct.

Blitzbokke played 3 won 3.

So far, so good.

If it’s the Kiwis vs Boks in the final, I know who I’d put my money on.

The trouble with The blitzboks and while i,m at it The springboks Is your not letting The prawns have a chance, fair enough there Are a lot of non white players in both teams these days , but The prawns arn’t being given the same opportunities as other non white south africans.The government should be pumping money into district 9, building rugby fields supplying boots and balls so young prawns can aquire The skills of there esteemed countrymen.It seems pretty obvious to me your average prawn would make a good rugby player,they are fast and strong and would improve the bok backline imensely .South Africa has improved its international image greatly in The past 15 years , but this continued marginilisation of The saffer prawn community will only damage all the hard work.Does anybody else think prawns should be intergrated into the SA rugby community?Looking forward to your feedback .

@logie_Jumpbuck : I guess the US are getting serious about sevens now because it is an Olympic sport. Soon they will be routinely kicking our asses.

@kaksioek : some of those results are not very flattering. ENG? SAMOA by 2 over USA?

Geez NZ look good. 47-0 against Kenya is not a trivial result.
