CHOKING PROTEAS EXIT T20






South african cricket team the Proteas have bombed out of the T20 tournament held in Sri lanka who finished top of their group, the Proteas had a remarkable run before the tournament thrashing England in their own backyard.

PIENAAR QUITS BAFANA BAFANA!!












Steven "schilo" Pienaar announced his retirement from international football, he says the reason behind his decision is fatigue though it has not gone down well with many saying its hard to believe that a player of Pienaar's calibre would take such drastic steps before a major international game on home turf.

It is also said that Pienaar assaulted Thabang Mnisi, the son of Deputy Minister of Public Service and Administration Ayanda Dlodlo in a Johannesburg nightclub, but denies the charge. This is a huge blow for Bafana Bafana says coach Gordon Igesund but the door will not be shut if ever he changes his mind Igesund further stated.


Club versus country wrangles are nothing new, there are many players who found it difficult to juggle their commitments, the likes of Shaun Bartlet, Mark Fish, Lucas Radebe and Quinton Fortune even though none of them officially quit the team early.
