I have high respect for, in particular, Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist and Hussey. Hopefully we do ok in the tests...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17732427.post-1142621098354107952006-03-17T20:44:00.000+02:002006-03-17T20:44:00.000+02:00Thank you for your comment, PDB!

Not only did they play superbly, but they also showed a great deal of professionalism and sportsmanship. When Gibbs eventually went out after hitting his record 175 runs, some of the Australian players went up and congratulated him on the field. During the award ceremony, Ponting gave away his share of the best man prize to Gibbs. From what I heard, Smith didn’t congratulate the Australians for their superb play during his award ceremony speech (I didn’t see the award ceremony – I was too busy looking for my sunglasses which I had dropped from the top of the stand).<BR/><BR/>I will always support South Africa, and I’m glad that they won. But I feel that Australia practice better sportsmanship, and I think that – overall – this makes them the better team.<BR/><BR/>KevinKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16752824290056143050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17732427.post-1142352959855481962006-03-14T18:15:00.000+02:002006-03-14T18:15:00.000+02:00WoW!
