Smith: Decision in best interest of the team

its nice to see the Saffies under manners....and a west indian record still intact.  dats nice too. 

its nice to see Amla and Kallis make little as usual when the chips were down.

and it is clear by now that I dont like the Saffies......... :-[

::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

really ::confused::  the Saffies came out holding the wrong end of a messy stick. deh back against wall and deh have to answer a million question.

wat man getting vex with my comments for.  it seems far worse is being said out there by a whole lot of people.  mine is not a voice of 1

No GUTS, No GLORY!!!!
It was a captain and coach decision, they took a typical English approach, rather go for the DRAW.

No offense, but this is just prejudiced rubbish. Sorry. I don't mind criticisms, but this is just irrational, pathetic and naive comments with all this vitriol - FFS it's a game.

I can't believe we're letting this kinda shit continue here.

CAN YOU READ? Smith clearly said it was Steyn/Philander's decision (esp. Philander's). And bullshit to this. In that case why don't we just take away the concept of draw away from tests?
SA fought for draw, and it was not easy - the pitch was still hard to bat on. Yes, it's disappointing, but calling SA cowards is just hilarious.
Goodness me.

Kyle it is not that I have anything against Smith ... I have it in for all white people.

it does not matter which individual Saffies were involved...it was a south african decision.  and ultimately the buck stops with Smith the captain.

what... he does not accept responsibility as captain now for whatever happens in his team?

if Smith thought different he could have communicated it to his batsmen on the field.  the responsibility is his too and he should man up!

Umm!! .... did you read Reply #7 in this thread ... the link I posted where Smith was defending Steyn and Philander's decision ?

Anyway who cares ... it's done now.
