Haha...SL 16/4.



Its official, as much as I hate the Aussies I want them to now win the T20 WC. Atleast they have balls and learn from their faults...I hope they trash India , WI and then NZ in the final.....Aussie !Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!

I will be supporting the black caps personally for the cup now that proteas disappointed us again :(

So Winston, do tell me kind sir... WTF does emmigration got to do with supporting a sporting team ?



/Off topic, The Poms will always be a bunch of tossers, whilst the Aussies are historically prisoners....but have since developed an appetite for winning....
Its simple son, you support what flows through your veins.

Time to toss the coach and captains, get rid of all the consultants and get someone in who isn't afraid to take charge, put the players in their place and enforce some discipline.

As much controversy as Smith / Arthur courted at least you knew a decision was going to be made and followed through on and in the background there actually was a plan.

Silver lining in this dark cloud, surely the current coach cannot survive this debacle.

In hindsight the planning for this event has been shocking.... that said you can be pretty sure that the same set of players will all be MVP's for their respective IPL teams in the same FSCKING conditions.... This had been another balls up by all concerned at another major event...Choking would even be complimentary, the performances levels have been woeful and smacks of arrogance and poor preparation.... stay the fsck in India and enjoy the IPL you fscking failures....YES that is exactly what you guys are !!!!

Should have had Jennings in charge and these twats should have been practising more in the nets...

Agree 110%. Problem is that players cannot handle his strict discipline. When he was coaching the team some of our senior players (that have retired in the last 2 years) complained about his strict discipline. I have a lot of respect for Jennings but they will never appoint him as coach.

yeah.

I wanted to believe that we bowled badly in the first two games because of the pitch.

I wanted to think the game against england was just a close game we lost for no real reason.

I wanted to think Afghanistan played really well.

I wanted to think we could beat the WI

then I wanted to believe SL could beat eng.


now I just want to stop watching cricket for a while. maybe we should just play a few years against like Netherlands, Scotland, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and Ireland. just for the next 2 years that is all we need to remember why we love the game and why we play the game because this performance was just terrible...

You think there was a performance?

I laugh at that...HA!

Proteas SUCK...I've supported them since I can remember...

I will not stop...but will I continue watching their dismal performances? Hell No.

He survived the dreadfull 50 over exit and the test decline. He will survive this as well. None of the better candidates will take the job because of the political interference. Only real option would be geof toyana from the lions.

Personally I would want an aussie or nz coach but it won't happen.

Jennings doesn't work at the top professional level. Works at youth level but not at the top. Was told by smith,boucher & kallis to take a hike when he was in charge of the proteas. Failed at bangalore royal challengers as well.

He has no idea that you can't deal with harden professional players the same way you deal with youth teamers.

He should still be the youth team coach but he has no business anywhere close to a top professional team.
