You know what I like about the Australian cricket side? I like the fact that they never make excuses for bad play. Unlike other teams that blame poor umpiring, agressive crowds, slow pitches and injuries, Adam Gilchrist, yesterday, said that they were simply outplayed by the South Africans. That again brings the point home that it is a matter of Boys vs Men in this series of ODI's in South Africa.
IOL have a great story on how Australia are injury packed, same as SA were a few weeks ago. It does raise issues about why players get injured on tour and not at home. Maybe someone can explain that to me a little bit.
Well done to Graeme Smith who seems to be on form again thanks to a little help from Jimmy Cook. Let's see if it can stay like that. The weather played a major role in yesterday's game, but will it save South Africa in the rest of the series? The good news for the SA side is that is looks as if Ricky Ponting might be out for another ODI.
My guess is that Australia will win the series, it will come down to the last gaem. Any other predictions???
