THE JP DUMINY COLUMN. DAY 7 Many people often ask me what is life like in the Proteas camp a day after a crunch defeat. Are the guys tense, do they drink harder, hit each other or have an early night? Well, people like Jakes Kallis, for instance, who have been losing crunch matches for years, feel a greater need to loosen the limbs and keep supple after a crunch defeat, so he prefers to have a massage.

Dale Steyn on the other hand, is usually cockily preparing his press release. Today’s one went something like ‘ There is no side in the ICC that we can match. Except maybe New Zealand.’

Graham Smith was probably the most upset. He kept muttering. ‘Fuckers! Fuckers!’

When questioned about who he was referring to, he said he was talking about England’s captain, who refused to allow him a runner when his legs were cramping.
But we know he was actually talking about us.

 

As for me personally, I was just overcome with gratitude.
I am grateful that the Mumbai Indians paid me all that money after the fluke 166 that I scored in Australia a long time ago.

I am also grateful that yesterday in this column, I warned everyone to stay clear of Public Enemy, because today I think that could be me.

But seriously guys, I was just lazing around.
Just like I did against Sri Lanka and New Zealand.
There was no storyline and no plot.

Isn't it quite nice just to laze around sometimes?

How does that song go again? "It's going to be a great night..."
