Our National Team made us all so proud
7 April 2009
Once again it is hard to believe that the season is almost at a end. The season had so much excitement and suspense. Our National Team made us all so proud with their Test and ODI series wins Down Under and lets hold thumbs that they can beat the Aussies on home soil in the ODI series so that we can proudly keep our number 1 spot on the ICC ODI rankings.
Everywhere one goes in SA people are talking about cricket and the joy the game gives to people can never be underestimated. So to Graeme and the boys keep making us proud and give those Aussies a “klap.” It seems to me that the current cricket season is just getting better and better for SA spectators. Sadly the IPL could not be hosted in India because of security concerns, partly due to their general elections, but what a feast of cricket for the SA public.
If I am not mistaken there will be 59 games played during the IPL competition with some of the world’s best cricketers in action. I am just sad that I will be watching it on the TV in the UK where I will be playing another season of County cricket With the South African domestic season truly over one must congratulate the Titans for their wonderful season in which they won both the MTN Domestic Championship and the Supersport Series. It speaks volumes for the way Titans go about their business.
They have certainly set the standard and it will be up to the other 5 franchise teams to give chase. With so much talent at domestic level, the future looks as bright as ever for South African cricket and the National Team. May we always strive for improvement and get better and better, not just as cricketers but mainly as people. In years to come people would have forgotten about the cricket and will only remember the person that you are. May each and every cricketer have a blessed off-season. Boeta
