Scotland Vs South Africa, Group A

South Africa beat Scotland in its Group A match. It has to rankle the South Africans that they could not bowl out Scotland. We think that there is something to all that talk about "uni dimensional" bowling. When Graeme Smith is the main spin option for a team, they have to be worried.

The main thing for the South Africans is that AB de Villiers had a good stint at the batting crease. Now, all their main batsmen have spent some time in the middle and are among the runs. Good for them. We don't want to root for South Africa mainly because we can't stand Andre Nel. In case somebody is wondering why we don't like Andre Nel it's because he is a drama queen.

For the greater good of humanity we are putting aside our personal dislikes. We will be rooting for the South Africans to kick the stuffing out of the Evil Empire and bring peace to the cricketing fraternity. Er...just win the damn match against Australia, okay?

Never. I will never turn to the dark side. :-)

Actually I might if Andre Nel continues his drama queenish ways...
