document.write("Very good article. In Australia every man-jack is down on the opposition from day one; there it's no longer just a game, it's total war. Perhaps we as South Africans as a whole are not relentless enough in giving the Aussies a hard time from the day they set foot in South Africa.

Long may your writing on cricket continue in some or other form!. cato");
