aint that the truth!!! damn I long for a return of Ray, I honestly believe he can lead SA to greatness... sorry too harp on about it but I honestly think CSA has missed a trick here...

Definately, we needed that partnership. 40 more runs from this two, we allright with Windies two bowlers short.

agreed, good performance but it seems we only able to roll the opposition when they fielding less than a full strength side, Pakistan had Shaoib out for most of the series and NZ had Bond, Fleming and Jacob out too...

Maybe its the luck we need. Hopefully it happens in England and Australia later in the year. Bangladesh in Feb/March should be a breeze (we hope so).

Yeah the last time we played Bangladesh they humiliated us at the world cup of all places!! We also playing India, that's going to be tough too, hell, it's a year from hell but hopefully not for us fans...

We got an away tour to India in March!!! OMG!!

Complacency is our middle name in cricket. ;)

Not sure it's complacency but certainly there may be a lack of work ethic under Mickey Mouse, so in a way complacency but looking at this team it looks like we not training hard enough.

The late Hansie trained like demon cause he was of the belief that if you want to be better than the opposition you have to work and train harder then the opposition and I think this is true of all things in life. I don't think Mickey gets the concept...
 
Well the public hardly ever sees a full training session so I guess it's anyones guess how much or how little we train before a match. All I know is that Nel has been working VERY hard on his batting. :D Go Nella.

I think we just expected WI to be a complete walkover. Not having beating a test playing nation away from home in 8 years is a terrible stat for WI so I can see why SA would've written them off before the first test but our guys really need to adopt the (I can't believe I'm saying this) Aussie way of approaching cricket, they NEVER drop their standards according to who their opposition is is, they ALWAYS field a full strength side and go out all guns blazing, that is NOT the case for us. Oh and you're right about the whole Mickey Mouse factor as well.
 
Yeah, was thinking about this yesterday. Things are not as bad as they'd seemed - we'll have a 1st innings lead, and what more could you ask for?

Except that we should've got ahead of their total with less effort than it has taken us.
