Can you imagine how unbearable Red's going to be in the winter when SA go to Oz?

Well SA better get its ordinary act together otherwise I will be unbearable.

It'd be nice if they toured without sooky though. He'll be on our screens spouting nonsense and talking up his team but then proceeding to fail at every turn. The script has already been written.

Seriously though the SA attack is in for one hell of a pasting. Given Hayden's penchant for tasty offerings, I envisage him heartily dining out on an attack of pie chuckers who find it incomparably difficult to fire out left-handers. And the news doesn't get better with two cack-handed openers and the likes of Hussey to follow. How will they ever prise him out?

And our fields are vast yet their fielding has declined immeasurably over the past few years with the cumbersome hulks like Harris, Nel and Morkel patrolling the outfield.

We've declined at a greater rate than I expected.

Anyway despite us getting a pasting, at least I kept posting and duly congratulated the Saffas on being too good for us. We're in a transitional stage while SA has more at, or heading towards their peak.

TBH I don't think many Aussies have done a bunk.
