Saluting the bloody Aussies for another 4 years...

I just think back to our 438 Victory over Australia, That was after they set a world record of runs to chase down..
We beat that record on that very day and we did it in what must have been the cameo of a lifetime..
With T20 being the flavour over the last few years you would think that the science of cricket must have changed somewhat. Making the best of fewer balls and finding boundaries more often.
Somehow the only teams that have embraced the pinch hitting is the Aussies with Warner and NZ with Mcullim....
From the start , these individuals are tasked to take the bowlers on, I dont think we have that in our team.
With average bowling we sure are a strong team. 
The saddest thing about watching the final was the realization that only SA had a chance against the Aussies.And even then, We needed a sublime performance to beat them.
One thing about our captain , he sure does speak a positive tone and I like that about him.
Let us hope politics of quotas are forgotten...
Come on SA, new Zealand always lacked depth, that was until one of our 1.5 Million to 2 Million first class tax paying citizens that left our shores has a child that plays cricket.. 
If SA was more focused on the right things such as keeping our citizens safe and secure we would have even more talent to brag about. Keven Pietersen is another talent that SA has not had privilege to use ..
Well done to the Aussies, That smith guy bats like a cricket robot. His head and balance is unbelievable.. That guy is an amazing cricketer.
As for Clarke retiring, maybe he has also caught on that cricket is such a farce... 
They should rather draw straws on who will be in the national team, Its the same thing....
