Mr Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes the start of the International Cricket Council's 10th Cricket World Cup on the 19th of February, in Dhaka, Bangladesh;
2) further notes the participation of the SA National Team, the Proteas, in the tournament which is jointly hosted by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh;
3) recognises the Proteas' recent series victory over their hosts, India, which will give the team an added advantage going into the tournament; 4) acknowledges the hard work and dedication of the players and coaching staff alike in the build-up to the event;
5) encourages the Proteas to regain their title as the best one-day international team in the world by winning the World Cup;
6) further encourages South Africans to unite behind the Proteas during the World Cup, and to once again show the enthusiasm and spirit of the 2010 Fifa World Cup; and
7) wishes the team luck for their upcoming match against the West Indies.
Agreed to.
I now call on the hon Smuts.
