It was all systems go yesterday at the tamale stadium when Bafana played Tunisia in a group D nations cup match , after drawing our first game against Angola we all hoped for a win against Tunisia but it was not to be, as our defence which were a suspect against Angola were caught napping as we lost the game 3-1, so it will be all or nothing against Senegal on Thursday, i am still behind the boys even though the coach must do something with the defence and change Mbazo from that holding role in the midlle of the park but we are really playing well it is just that our boys lack confidence in the final third of the field.
the tournament has been running for a week now and i must say it is a very interesting one so far, my favourites to win it are Elephants of the Ivory Coast but i must say the defending champions "Egypt" are looking very good, this week the final ganes of the group stages are being played so it is going to be interesting.
The Proteas have already won the ODI sereies against WI leading 3-0 with two matches to play, it is an unofficial farewell to our favourite son Shaun Pollock who is retiring after this series, we will definatly miss him nobody in the world could hit the same line and length the way he did, i mean an economy of less than 4 saya lot about the guys brilliance but a few youngstars are coming through so the future looks bright, credit to Kallis for a briiliant knock of 121unbeaten yesterday his was super as always. it over to durban on friday and i cant wait to see Pollock in front of his home crowd for the last time it is going to be emotional as it wa in PE.
Djokovic won the Australian open and i must say what a match it was although i was hoping that the unseeded Tsonga would win, He beat world no.2 Nadal in staight sets in the semis to suprise everyone, Djokovic beat no.1 Federer in the semis so it was always going to be a difficult final for both of them. it was the first grand slam not won by either Nadal or Federer after they won 11 between themselves.
