Submit your comment Like I said yesterday, what is with England and getting caught up in controversy? After all the run out dramas, now their players are causing a stir on Twitter. It has now meant that their coach Andy Flower has had to step in: "If you are an England player you have got to behave in a certain way. If you are on a public site like that, you have to behave yourself." All rather funny to me, although I don't think anything should really be taken out of it. Yes, as professional players, we do have a social responsibility to behave in public, and that is why we as Proteas players have generic facebook pages. But I can understand what's going on between Strauss, Anderson and Bresnan. In a team environment, guys spend a lot of time with each other. They travel together, eat together, etc and to keep the humour in the dressing room, there is a fair amount of banter that goes on. And that is all that happened here. I hope it is not blown out of proportion back in England as their media contingent can be pretty severe at times. They have a semifinal in a major tournament today, and will want all their energies to be focused on beating the Aussies. Until tomorrow, Cheers JP

Hi JP, As a fellow Cape Townian why not speak about what the team is going to do to improve performances. So focus your energies on improveming performances. The English do not care about you.

Hey, JP write about CRICKET won't you, not about a bunch of immature kids' childish banter. For that matter forget about writing columns and spend some time at the sports psychologist.

A nothing story about a nothing team. Two swallows don't maketh a summer, and Strauss isn't the sportsman he purports to be. Soon it will all come crashing down on the talentless team that is England. The irony is their present and past captains are both Saffas. Oh well, no accounting for true patriotism or lack of it. Watch Australia cut them down to size, then wait for the inevitable, predictble, excuses from the USELESS poms.
