Does it get any better?
I think not! The headline of the story reads Proteas humiliate the Aussies, and what a fine story it is indeed. When I read that headline I lay back in my chair and savoured what I was reading, it was better than any fine wine or beer after a hard days work. Proteas humiliate the Aussies. Mmm, yes I'll take a side order of that and anything I don't finish now I'd like put in a doggy bag so I can finish it at home! So how bad was the humiliation :
"Makhaya Ntini took the best figures by a South African in one-day international cricket as South Africa crushed Australia by 196 runs in the second one-day international at Newlands Friday. The win put South Africa 2-0 up in a five-match series. Ntini took four wickets in a devastating opening spell and finished with six for 22 as Australia were bowled out for 93, their fourth-lowest all-time total." (NEWS24)
Best figures. Second highest total. 2-0. Bowled out for 93. A crushing win of 196 runs. My cup runnneth over.
Makhaya Ntini for President! For those of you who feel the need to do a bit of crowing over this famous day, I would suggest you head over to John's Cricket-Blog (great blog by the way, was a nice read during our tour down under) and register your commiserations.

It really made this week so much more tolerable, seeing australians terrified of doing the unthinkable.. Losing.
I couldnt resist watching the entire days worth of play. It certainly does pay to be a student now doesnt it! Im just amazed they had lights for the entire game.
One can only wonder about someones ability to produce rational thought, if they are willing to test the depth of a nuclear reactor, using the pebble test. ah well at least alec didnt have anything more to bumble about!!does G.W have a distant relative, its something to have a look into.
