Controversy between Hansie Cronje and Mark Waugh-SA vs Australia 3rd test Adelaide 1998
The rivalry that crackles between these southern hemisphere siblings was abundantly fuelled on this tour. Hansie Cronje gouged the ball with his spikes, while Mark Waugh walked into his stumps in the final Test and either got away with it (if you ask South Africans) or was rightfully ruled not out (according to every Aussie). South Africa won five of seven one-day internationals against Australia, but their two losses came in the finals. No wonder Cronje put a stump through a door.

Pat Symcox (South Africa offspinner): You felt the weight of history, not least because of the presence of people like Ian Chappell, who had been on the South African tour in 1970 and averaged about 11. We were part of that history, and you wanted to make sure you pulled your weight. There was a lot to take out of the ’97-98 tour, particularly on the emotional side of things. The technical and physical aspects are part of the game, you can prepare for that. But you didn’t know what was going to happen to you at an emotional level.
Ian Healy (Australia wicketkeeper): The feeling between the sides was pretty good I think. Obviously there was bad blood between Daryll Cullinan and Shane Warne and I think Cullinan might have been in tears in Melbourne. They were at it all the time.
Shaun Pollock (South Africa fast bowler): Australia is a tough tour, and it does get mentally difficult towards the end. To have the last few breaks not going our way didn’t help. The guys tended to get along pretty well off the field. There was obviously a bit of heat between Daryll and Shane, I don’t think they chatted much. Quite a few of them kept to themselves. But some of their more outgoing guys always had a beer after the game.
Stuart MacGill (Australia legspinner): After the warm-up game [against Australia A at Brisbane, which was drawn] they were not dismissive exactly but very, very comfortable and casual about how they would go. I remember thinking, ‘God, these guys have judged their whole summer based on an absolute belter in Brisbane and that’s not how it’s going to be at all’.
Jacques Kallis (South Africa allrounder): It was at the start of my career and it wasn’t an easy entry for me. It turned to be a hell of an eventful tour. In fact, every one since then has been pretty boring by comparison!
South Africa escaped with a draw in the first Test at Melbourne, where Cronje was booed to the crease because of his dirty dancing on the ball during an earlier ODI at Sydney and Kallis announced himself with a maiden century. But there was nowhere to hide at Sydney, where Australia won by an innings.

But I feel you need to know just how fast things can happen in this primate paradise.
There are many other gruesome bloody images that I feel are way to graphic to upload here on flickr
This one is the least graphic of them all but still gets the point across.
Here is an example of what goes on at monkey mountain on a regular basis.
There was 4 or 5 monkeys having a discussion about 10-12 feet away and in a blink of an eye their discussion turned violent.
Screaming, biting, scratching, tearing, gouging all started and stopped just as fast with one monkey [pictured] running away from the aggressor.
My feelings is it was over the alpha’s harem. But this is only my guess.
Over the last year of uploading monkey’s showing their K-9’s at me many have commented on what could happen if those teeth connected with my body. The thought never leaves my mind for one minute while interacting with these wild monkeys. They Do Bite and most times it is a very serious wound. [6 photos attached showing K-9’s]
There is a large number of monkeys missing fingers, toes, ears and parts of their tail and face due to bites from other monkeys. They play for real and the one bitten pays the price for real.
As mentioned in the past our daughter has been bitten twice and a niece lost an arm from a monkey bite.
Sometimes the 17-55 2,8 lens comes out for in your face shots but lately the 70-300VR has been used giving me a little more space and comfort. I know you can only push your luck so far !!
Even though I truly enjoy walking a fine line balancing on the edge testing my MoJo there is also a point of diminished return …;-0
I might add when shooting with the 17-55 lens the monkeys have come right into my space, very seldom the other way around.
Hope this photo didn’t turn to many away but this is also natures rules in the wild. I am only a spectator sent here to document their life whether it be good or bad I am not a referee but a solo observer.
Obviously there was wild animals hurt during the making of this photo but please remember this is their reality and the photographer only documents it.
