Ricky Ponting speaks in his column in The Australian about the rivalry between Australia and South Africa.
“We have been staying at the same hotel as South Africa for the past nine days yet haven't had much contact. I don't make a point of stopping to spend ten minutes chatting with Jacques Kallis or Herschelle Gibbs. There are plenty of nods and glances."
Robert Craddock writes Ponting is keen to give “nightmares” to some of South Africa’s younger players.
Peter Roebuck’s column in the Sydney Morning Herald looks at Bob Woolmer’s death.
How did it come to this? How did we allow a game to become a murder scene? A respected son has been cold-bloodedly killed under the noses of the game's greatest players, in the middle of the game's most prestigious event. Until these past few days, it could hardly be imagined that any game could suffer such a loss.
