They are here, Bryce, already here. And by Tipped to win by all the pundits and go to the top of the rankings. But still rankling with them is NZ's defeat of the Proteas in the previous cricket world cup.
By all accounts, they should beat the little nation of 4 million but they will not. Where are the big noters who will give me money I wager if we draw or win the series? Any series? White ball or red, baby.
But I am respectful of De Villiers and Donald. They bring a SA grittiness that NZ may not match in the first game until we dig in for the long haul so reminscent of Pollock. We may not win overnight, but win we will.
