INDEED SMITH CHOSE THE WRONG TIME FOR HIS NO-SHOW AND GOT PEOPLE ANGRY. HE WAS THE CAPTAIN AND COULD HAVE BEEN BACK AT LEAST FOR A FEW DAYS. BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT HE TOOK THIS LEAP TO SAVE TAX. FRANKLY, THESE PLAYERS ARE RICH ENOUGH TO NOT BOTHER ABOUT TAX. ANYWAYS, HOPE THAT SOUTH AFRICA PROSPERS UNDER KIRSTEN AND BECOME WORLD CHAMPIONS LIKE INDIA DID.

Don't understand why people don't get it and complain. This is an excellent take on the whole Graeme Smith situation after WC. Anybody who follows the world of cricket with any regularity would know this.

Only Africaans will understand this joke...Soon after the World Cup loss,Gramme Smith left to ireland to propose his girl freind and retured to play for IPL.He didn't care to come to SA. Most of people were upset with him. He apolozised to everyone saying that he had tremendous strss. He returned to SA after almost 8 weeks.
