What’s Wrong with the Proteas?
Another World Cup loss, another disappointing performance from our Proteas team.
Our top order looked so cumbersome and without ideas. But how on earth could anyone actually think Herchelle Gibbs would be the answer to the Proteas bad form? We needed fresh players or at least someone in form.
Don’t even mention Graeme Smith! Why did the selectors put him in the team when he was injured for most of the off-season?
It’s time the selectors trust that we have players besides the usual who make the team regardless of their form.
Anyway, the ones they pick time and time again are not winning tournaments. At least with new players, mixed with in form regulars, they’ll have renewed energy and a valid excuse if they lose.
Few fans mind if the Proteas play well and gets beaten by a better team. But to see them use the same boring tactics game in and game out is frustrating. Very frustrating.
A new coach has done absolutely nothing to improve the ‘boring’ label. I won’t even mention the ‘chocking’ label!
So disappointed!

As an England fan who has emigrated to SA, it was a shame not to see the Proteas mixing it up a bit – such a depth of good players and such a lack of imagination in how to use them. If moving Albie Morkel around is about the only tactical innovation, then they’re a long way behind.
On another note, I see that, as usual, the sulking afterwards extends to the TV schedules, with SABC not showing either semi-final. Come on guys – you’ve shown practically every other match (for which thanks) ….
Why not two more. I am sure the SA public are big enough to watch other teams continue the battle?
