Chokers No More
After more than a decade of consistent catipulation at the last moment, yesterday the 'chokers' reached out for an oxygen cylinder and banged it on their opponent's head. The Aussies, after being caught resting on their fat asses (one could not blame them, after scoring a mammoth 434 in 50 overs), were left with egg on thier faces.
Now, I was never a big fan of the South African team - they'd throw it all away, and then moan and groan about how Lady Luck always forsook them. Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles, mate (as the Aussies would say).
But yesterday, the SA team made an emphatic statement. That they were not willing to roll over and play dead any longer. It's high time I guess. I dunno if you can keep this up (most probably the Aussies will hammer your asses to the wall during the Test matches), but I sure hope you can !!

Smiling Assassin 'Strikes'
the ball cleanly, for a change. It's been a long 8 years for this half-century, mate.
Now, he is what I call a fighter - exemplifies the never-say-die attitude that I wish every other member of the team had. Kudos to you, Kumble-ji.
