Hurry! Stocks are limited!
A unique opportunity has arisen to purchase these limited edition pieces of memorabilia from the ICC World Cup. There will only be 500 of these released worldwide so be in quick.
The picture captures Mark Boucher in a splendid forward defensive stroke and Lance Klusener happily leaning on his bat at the non-strikers end as the last ball of the 45th over of South Africa's innings against Sri Lanka is bowled. It captures perfectly the moment when the South African management had a brain melt and assured the batsmen that 229 was enough for victory, when they needed 230 to advance to the Super Six. The picture is titled "Oh no, Not a-f**king-gain" and will sell at $1000 + p & p But hey thats not all, you also get a picture of Lance during the West Indies game, standing- staring in the direction of their fielder catching him out when he should have been crossing over so that Ntini would not have to face the next ball. For an extra $500 you can also buy "Oh f**k it!", the limited edition picture from the 1999 World Cup capturing the sheer confusion of the moment when Allan Donald had a brain melt and forgot how to run. ( and hey guess what, guess who is also in the photo ............. that man Lance, once again ) Why not buy the boxed set of "South African Cricket - Why we have never won the f**in World Cup" which includes the previously unreleased "You've got to be f**king joking!", a picture which captures the looks on the faces of the South African batsmen faces after the big screen flashes up that the revised target they were chasing for victory vs. England in the 1992 World Cup Semi Final: 22 runs off 1 ball. This opportunity to re-live the greatest moments in South African Cricket history is very limited so hurry while stocks last.

Thanks VO2 but I have all off the above mentioned moments perfectly and permanently embedded in my memory archives.
 Mine though has a lot more "f..ing" and other descriptive words that you wont allow on this site. I also have the photo of a certain mister Gibbs trying to throw a ball up in the air that's no longer in his hands!! "Where did the f..ing ball go? It was here a moment ago. Really IT WAS!" Damn all of the above are the National team and only in world cups, I wonder what its like at club level?

Is this fair?
Ok, so I'm sure most people would have noticed South Africa is not in the CWC anymore.
What next? The SA Cricket Board had to gt some excuse why we did not make it. Instead of accepting their faults, they moved all the blame to the SA Circket Captain (or should I say EX-SA Cricket Captain). Yes, he has been replaced stating that his leadership skills and captaincy is not good enough. Funny, sure was good enough 3 months ago when we thrashed, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. I for one am very happy that we fell out of the CWC if that is the attitude of our selectors.

At least he isn't being hunted by the secret police....
In Australia we just drop them from the team and they become television commentators. In Zimbabwe they shoot them. |

I believe a well done and congratulations is in order........but I'll leave that to someone else Nah, just joking, well played mates. You guys really deserved it. Wait 4 years and we'll see you again.

Let's hope so.
I have long thought the only real opposition in the final would come from SA. By the next world cup, some of our Aussies will be getting a bit long in the tooth. Even Ponting will be over the hill... |

Maybe it was a blessing in disguise that we didn't make it thro to the final, because the Aussies would of annihilated us.
Well done to the my Aussie mates, your team was awesome. As for our beleaguered national team, well, what can one say?
