Yeh just having a bit of fun...
...but in all honestly '92 hurts more than anything else, it was just that SA were the new boys... and in the 70s many believed we had the best team in world, with many potential greats not in the records...so it was felt they had a big point to prove in their 1st World Cup...there was a feeling of self-belief...and the SA public most certainly did not feel that 20 off 12 balls was unattainable...call it blind ignorance but I still would of backed Macmillan with support from Richardson to get that score...99 out of 100 is a bit harsh?!?
But note I won't be suprised if they don't win the world cup...i think we have a good side...but we've sent good sides in the past the WC.
OK...and back to the topic...
