Proteas in the semis!

Ok, so it was last night! The Proteas, SA’s cricket team, finally came good. We beat England hands down. I should say it’s a bit unfair to the English that we tend to meet them in these tournaments & beat them.

I thought Kevin Pietersen will be back to his best for England & will give us a really rough time with a point to prove. But it was not to be. Worse he was caught by Smith, the Protea’s captain off a Hall’s ball. Brilliant stuff! Andrew Hall really had a great game, I should say, getting 5 wickets. It was good to see Charl Langeveldt & Andre Nel coming to the party as well.

Now going forward, I just hope we keep up the great performance in the semis. The Aussies still seem formidable, but hey, let them the last year 438 & beware. New Zealand beat us few days ago, but I still can’t see them doing it twice in a row. Sri Lanka look at their best with Murali & Malinga, but we’ve already beaten them in this tournament.

We still got Gibbs & Kallis, and if Kemp also comes to the party, while Smith, AB, Prince & Boucher play their stabilizing roles well, we look set to finally get the silverware that has so much eluded us since our readmission to international sports! And Pollock and Makhaya better lift up their bowling standard!

All the way, Proteas, we’re behind you!
