Prince Haibo, Kallis Yebo - SA vs Aus
Cricinfo live ball by ball coverage
18/03/2009
Prince declined an offer to captain the Proteas in tomorrow’s test match against the Australians. I wonder why? Haven’t seen him playing for a while so maybe it is for the better he concentrates on batting the leading. Kallis will be captain. Graeme Smith was injured during the last test match. He broke his finger. Those aussie were wild, they injured Kallis as well during that test match.
Tomorrow is the final test match against Australia in Newlands in Cape town and already Ponting is playing a psychological game and teasing prince by telling press no one in his side would give up a chance to captain. Eish!!!
Don’t worry Prince one day you will be ready to become King.. Today was just not your day..
Can’t wait for the Mamoo Hashim Amla to take the throne though!!!

Yah so today it was a great great cricket day.. Amla almost made a half century.. the highlight of the series was the way Prince betted.
He was hitting the Australians out of the ground. Prince reached a century and a half (150 runs) and was out after the umpire said no Ponting took a referal and after what seemed like a life time the 3rd umpire said it was out.. Eish.. otherwise Prince would have still been there putting the Aussies in their place.. No we know why he decided not to captain.. he was really liss to play some cricket without any distractions..
Kaptain Kallis played like a King today as well. He made his 31st century. He batted like a real master..
