I got a phone call yesterday morning from a colleague, excitedly asking if I was watching the game between Australia and New Zealand.

On Monday Sachin Tendulkar passed his own record for most runs in a single world cup, and with potentially three more games to play he looks like setting a record that is going to stand for a very long time.

I’d just like to start by referencing the pathetic journalism from the SABC last night when reporting the loss of Jonty Rhodes to the World Cup. Altaaf Khazi needs a fat slap for his gratuitously schlock statements like: ”South Africa’s dream is in tatters”.
