I’m sorry, it’s not normal for me to get excited about the demise of a team, but seeing Australia battered by South Africa on Australia Day is just a little bit sweet for a pom such as myself. Just two short years ago we were on the receiving end of an Australia Day hammering, but the two years since havn’t been kind to the Aussies, and their team as I’ve mentioned already this month is a pale shadow of that one.

South Africa have been playing some good cricket of that there is no doubt (and you have to, winning both a test and one day series in Aus), but we beat the Saffers in the ODI’s 4-0 so they can’t be that good!

I’m looking forward to the Ashes even more (162 days and counting)!
