How did you enjoy the cricket, Skins ?

Sorry, had to gloat...
Your guys played well and it was nice to beat them, even if it wasn't at rugby.
4 - 0 isn't a true refection of the series.

I missed this post, Paul.
Yeah, the cricket ... I'm afraid we rarely have the depth or top talent to really compete at the top level, Paul. I'm not surprised you beat us. Only when we had Hadlee, Cairns, Crowe, Astle, a few others, and Coney for a clever captain, quite a few years ago now, did we consistently have a chance. I think most Kiwis probably realise that, even if they don't like to accept it. I always like to see SA do well.

Skins,
In the bad old days we could only choose from the roughly 4 million white people (isn't that the size of the New Zeeland population, excluding the sheep ?). Now we can choose from 54 million and we have some excellent new guys of all colours coming through.
We just need to sort out our Rugby team, get a few Formula One drivers etc. (although we have got Alan van der Merwe as a test driver now, son of Sarel).

Yeah, I know, mate. SA has huge potential!
