Aussies looking sorry ahead of SA

The Aussies have lost again. Usually I'd be happy about the fact that the Proteas' number one enemy is finding it hard to win, but this time it's starting to affect the pleasure I get from a South African victory over the Baggy Greens.

The six wicket defeat to New Zealand on Friday makes it 2-0 to the Black Caps in the five match ODI series. On the back of a test and one day series defeat to the Proteas it's safe to say the alarm bells are ringing within Australian cricket circles.

But I'm not sure I like beating a team that seems to have no hope of even winning a one day series against the Black Caps. I'm very proud of the Proteas and I do think what they achieved down under was huge, but if we do go on to thrash them in the return series, like we should, I fear it will be a little like Padraig Harrington winning two majors while Tiger Woods is not playing.

I would've preferred having the Aussies bounce back big time agai! nst New Zealand and then suffer another hiding in SA. Unfortunately I don't think that will happen. Of course the Proteas will win, but it will be against the worst Aussie team in years...and that's okay.
