Yeah, the one reporter turning up is quite embarassing. But writing stories about BD or getting a quote from Pilot isn't going to sell newspapers in SA, so why would they bother?
I agree with Fwullah though. Why aren't our reporters in South Africa already, feeding us inside scoops on practice sessions and teams strategies. I bet in the British newspapers they are providing daily updates on what their team is upto. This is the World Cup for crying out loud. The summer Olympics apart, this is the biggest sporting event we take part in, and from our point of view, this is bigger than the Olympics. You would think that the newspapers would send their guys out early and give us the scoop. I was very disappointed that they didn't send reporters to Namibia either.
