    PRESS RELEASE from Eunuch de Jelliers, South Africa cricket team

    This is not the official South Africa press statement, as that is the responsibility of our Vice Captain Thomass. But with all respect to Thomass, I don't think the truth will come out if someone doesn't grasp the, er, y'know, thing that really hurts to grasp. Our fans have no doubt wondered about our dip in form over the last two matches. It would be convenient to blame it on the let down after our unstoppable march to qualification (where we raged through the competition like a fire that could never happen in a damp, languid place like Bangladesh). But something else is going on in the dressing room, and only public exposure can stop the rot that is holding us back (and, honestly, a little airing out wouldn't hurt that fungus we were talking about, Hooperman).

    I'm sorry to say it but the discord started with Adam West. He's a great teammate, and nobody gives a better gluteus palpitation, but the whole dark knight thing has finally got out of control. It wasn't so bad in the beginning. If he wants to say "Pow!" "Crang!" "Splurng!" every time he hits the ball, no big deal. But when he told Yash to "check in the bat cave for his willow-shaft" I'm afraid it creeped us all out. Then, after he did so well in the first few matches, he turned from camp to Christian Bale. Greivez nearly nearly jerked the shisha-pipe into the hottub when West popped up behind him with a guttural "turn fear on those who prey on the fearful." I mean, what a fricken buzz-kill!

    After the whole leprechaun debacle things got very weird. West actually had a cape and decided that the monkey, Bonz, CDAWGG, and that piece of cheese from the UAE team were supervillains he needed to bring to justice (there is no amount of Campari and soda that will maintain team spirit under these conditions). We apologised to the Irish and got most of that reversed (my jewels are fine, thanks), but it's hard to strap on the pads and go out to battle with someone who served you a jolly great "Bosh!" and a few "Sprong!"s.

    If we're are going to get past this and subject Bangladesh to the funeral pyre of our #ProteaFire, we all need to admit our mistakes and wipe the slate clean. We need to remember who we represent! Toonzie, you have to put down that I Ching calculator and focus on your bowling. No more spray whipped-cream for you Teddy. And Jeff, step away from the My Little Pony videos--we all understand nostalgia, but it must stop somewhere. JWF and Ameenkw: I know you guys are tight, but there is no spooning in cricket--I mean it. We need the leadership of this team to unplug the blender, put the daiquiri mix back in the cupboard, and get into the nets (I'm looking at you Thomass). And West, for feck sake, put your pants back under your trousers and let ENR have a turn with the blue cape.

      So lets get this straight, you are complaining that South African Cricketers wear Green and Yellow, two colours that feature in their flag?
