Taken from Supersport commentator visiting the UK for the current cricket...

Week 8
by Neil`s UK diary 03/09/2012, 07:19

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2

Only the most brave-hearted, optimistic and enthusiastic supporters on the road could claim that South Africa’s tour is not suffering at the back-end of two months on the road. Much was made, understandably, of the potential impact the ‘new faces’ would make during the ODI section of the tour – and even more for the T20 section at the end – but the reality is different.


New passengers on a train running out of fuel do not provide impetus to the engine. It is what it is…running on low. Not quite empty, but the red light is flashing. Gary Kirsten has had the luxury of his wife, Deborah, and their three children visiting for a couple of trips during the tour but hotel life is never easy for anyone, never mind with three kids under the age of 10.

Talking of kids, the English youth ‘culture’ caught up with me in a big way this evening on the Underground. Living nearby to a circular line offers the perfect opportunity for delinquent parents to offer their considerably more delinquent children the opportunity to go and ‘play’ somewhere ‘safe’. And return after however many loops they fancy doing before turning in for the night.

How pathetic. The slightest negative comment has you all up in arms and Sallu please watch what you say claiming I "hate everywhere in the world." I've probably been to a lot more places that you will ever dream of visiting.

The problem is when you have a previous record of extreme overreaction it is to be expected that people wont take you seriously and the number of places you have visited seems to be completely irrelevant.

Maybe I should have phrased that better.




























Hates everywhere he has lived.

Chris read your own posts. Completely ridiculous-in your view the UK is like some kind of paradise where everything is perfect. This paints a completely unrealistic picture of a place that is massive decline.
