When greed reigned supreme / 1992 World Cup Semi-final / South Africa vs England – Cricket

1992 World Cup
Semi-final
South Africa vs England

It took 12 minutes
Just 12 Minutes
To convert a thrilling semi-final of a world cup,
Into the greatest farce ever to be enacted in cricket.
To go from 22 runs in 13 to 22 in7 to 22 in 1
Without a single ball played.
Cricket was being laughed at,
And what truly pisses me off is that all of this could be avoided.
But they didn’t
Coz of money.

This is the story of the day greed killed Cricket.

It encompasses apartheid and Nelson Mandela, Jonty Rhodes fielding and batting heroics, pringles maidens and macillums dejection.

Its a story or a country reborn
And a hope extinguished.
