So it’s official…South Africa have yet again ruined their chances of getting in to the final of a World Cup…let alone winning it…they MUST get over this habit of getting so close and choking themselves to death…this is costing them big time..I read that the team had a support staff of 12 people..assisting them at the world cup including Jonty Rhodes in the fielding department…I guess it would not be a bad idea to get a team of psychiatrists in there as well…

Looking at the replays…some of the shots the South African batsmen played were attrocious…especially Smith, Kallis and Prince…simply unbelievable…while Smith and Kallis tried their best not to let Aussies dominate the mental games prior to the match….Ricky Ponting n his men surely had the last laugh…it seemed that South Africa only had one game plan…dominate and be aggresive..no matter what…while it’s great when it clicks..like it almost did in their earlier encounter…but they did not have a backup plan here…at 27-5 inside 10 overs…they were dead and out…

Australians in the mean while are having a dream run…..I can now only pray that they now have their long due bad day on 28 April – the finals!!

Go Srilanka..Repeat 96!!
