SA attack lacks variety too and that was a massive difference and it will continue to be as the WC progresses.
In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage.

Good signs from Bracken as usual but Tait, Watson and Hogg found their feet today
 
You are glad Kallis did not let you down???? I don't think he made a great impression on the game with the bat yesterday!!!


That's precisely the point he's making Daisy.

A lot of blame for SA's defeat is being put down to Kallis scoring so slowly, which put pressure on all the other batsmen to try and make up for his efforts.

What I saw of the game I enjoyed - fantastic intent by the Aussies right from the off matched by Smith and De Villiers at the top of the SA innings.
OHHH Scarcasm!!!!!!!!LOL LOL....thanks for telling me Clobber...LOL.

Convincing display by the Aussie batsmen on a good pitch , but their bowling looked pretty pedestrian.  The South Africans gave it a go , especially the openers but like the Aussies , the bowling looked rather tame. Ntini's lack of a slower ball is going to cost him plenty and the targetting of Pollock was obviously premeditated and left Smith with little to turn to.
     Still , I expect SA to recover from this reversal and 4 wins in the super 8's will see them in the semifinals. They'll not want to finish 4th though - another semifinal clash with Australia won't be what the doctor ordered! (Yes , I expect Australia to top the super 8's with Sri Lanka as runners-up)
Mental disintegration works for me !!

Watch out for NZ, though they could be missing a bit of venom without Vincent and Taylor.
 
Our bowlers really need to step up.
Good one Graham!
