Sign up with GoogleI can.. they crapped they're pants knowing they had to play Aussies
So they chickened out.
Maybe its a game plan, don't let the aussies see them now when its not a must win game..
Losing a game as easy as it was has negative physchological effects on players.
It aint just a 'ah, well we lost'. It aint like.
Tomoorrows game is nearly upon us..........
I wonder if Smiddy knows what team he'll have. lol
I'm getting rather dispondant with smiddy and the way he talks. It irratates me with his sugar coated squizzling when he repsonds to media.
Anyway, i like the guy as a cricketer, but hate it when he opens his mouth, not to mention his his attitude in the last few games, of which reading in the media suggests that he is speaking a lot of arrangance, of which no other captain does the way that he does, and, might i add, is not justifiiable coming from his mouth.
I kinda got the impression from the Loss to NZ, that it didnt really matter, cause they've got another game.. (suggesting the the Pommie game was already won).
And this was the attitude smiddy had before he left SA.

I read it more like the pommy game is the one that counts and not the NZ game. Not that they already had it won.
BTW: SL will probably come out of this game a little concerned because it was their batsmen who were not being rested that failed.

Andrew Symonds is an awesome player - even if I hate him with his dread-locks and white lips.
Respect where respect is due.

I agree Abe. I think they went into the game wanting to hide Murali, Vaas and Malinga from the Aussies until they were playing a game that counted. While they know they've still got all their dangerous bowlers in reserve, the way that their top order was uprooted will surely concern them.
Few more hours before the game starts.
Hope Smith plays the difficult overs and just play naturally and not the agricultural stuff he is doing lately. Our players should start taking less balls to 'get into the game'. We bat so negative so often and dig us into bigger holes than we were in. SL did it really well last night to recover though they got hammered. Hope Aus peaked today and gonna slide to the bottom in the next few games.

Im not so sure about having the better team, I think its like everyone says, they have the more consistent team. They perform game after game and they dont put any game into the hands of ONE player. If something does go wrong they know the rest of the team will up their game to fix it. SA is also capable of that but Id say like once in every 5 games. Also Australia seem to have a concrete set game plan whereas we chop and change like mad. Heres hoping we have a cracker of a match today. Go SAF!!!!

We all know that is not going to happen. SA deserve to lose today. It's their own fault they're in this mess to begin with
pitbull the strength of a team of lies in moving on and getting on with the task at hand, just because we have played badly does not mean we deserve this
we need to dig deep and beat england
look at the aussies they came into the world cup having lost the last 5 out 6 of their last one day games, look at them now have not lost a game
we need to find our heart and fighting ability to get through today
pieterson left SA because we did not want him, all he wanted to do was play cricket and we didnt pick him i would have left as well
pieterson is the best batsmen in the world at the moment dont ever forget that
he left SA because they would not pick him not because he is unpatriotic
