Dear Mr Boucher
The Australian cricket team has arrived in South Africa about to embark on yet another international tour clouded in controversy,
Calls from Mark Boucher for the South African crowds to be deliberately racist and give the Aussies a hard time, Andre Nel wanting doctored wickets to tame Warnie and help the fast bowlers that South Africa rely on, Graeme Smith being well ………..being Graeme Smith, a guy who thinks he is the man yet 60% of South Africans would like to see him dumped as skipper - hes gobbing off saying he hopes we wont complain about the crowds.
What a pack of cry babies,
Why does Andre Nel want the pitch doctored?? Is it to tame Warnie or is it just that he bowls rubbish and needs every advantage to get a pole he can?
Why does Mark Boucher want the Aussies to have a hard time? So the pressure and the media might be off him and he might just glove a straight forward chance for once.
Why does Smith hope we dont complain? Probably because he knows full well that everywhere you go around the world opposing teams get hell from the crowd, if Australia dont complain then apprently it doesnt exist, Meaning the deal his pack of under 15's netball team got in Australia was a harsh one, when in reality it was no different from any other team touring any other year.
Australia would be quite within there rights to whinge about every single comment that flew over the fence, South Africa did.
The problem with South Africa stems from plain old jealousy, They arent as good as Australia they are scared they cant beat us, so they wanna make it look like they had such a hard time in Australia that everybody back home feels sorry for them and will forgive them for mediocrisy. Even Hansie Cronje would be ashamed of the current pack of sooks representing South Africa.
Who cares if somebody called you a kaffa lover? You can call me an Abo lover to the cows come home it isnt going to faze me, and anyway how does Andre Nel know that the fan wasnt simply calling him a jaffa lover? Everybody loves Allens Jaffa's.
Have the South Africans not heard of the old saying sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me? Come on boys grow up and be big brave men, I know its hard but you have to try and suck it up.
I would have thought that being a professional athlete or sportsmen that this comes with the territory, you should learn to live with it, how do you think a tennis player on Rod Laver arena (Melbourne Park Victoria Australia) playing against Molik, Stosur, Hewitt or any of the other Aussies for that matter feels? Do you think they wanna cry because everytime they net a return the crowd applauds?? Everytime they toss a ball in the air to serve and let it drop cause it was a bad toss the crowd boo's them, do they walk off court and never come back calling for the fans in there home town to abuse everybody next time there is a tournie there? NO! they suck it up, they laugh and get on with it.
South Africa can threaten us with "we will boycott Australia" that isnt a threat, we are kinda hoping it is a promise, we didn’t miss you during apartheid anyway, we will be more than happy to just play the west indies, the kiwis and the poms. At least we know every time we do play that no matter what banter takes place before a series that the spirit of cricket will prevail on the field and the beers shared in the rooms after the game stem from a genuine respect of each other.
so
Dear Mr Boucher Will you please SHUT UP!
