I've gotten over both of them. SA deserved the win. No excuses. And it's not like England have a long history of beating the ABs... have you ever won a back-to-back game in your seven wins?
Usually it takes you ten years to gain momentum to win a game... 73, 83, 93, 02... then a brief period of doing it twice in two yearswoth a win in 03, then a hiatus until 2012. I won't harp on about the '36-'73 drought... but you should be up for your next win about when I'm due to collect my pension.
Deep down, despite your posturing that you are unbeaten in 2016, you know who the better team is. Or are you confident that if you'd given us a crack this year you would have won?
One thing I've not gotten over, Aussies, is The Underarm Incident.
Never forget...

And my Bokke cousins, rest assured we are just as ****** off about it as you are.
Kiwi rugby supporters are strange - we ****ing CHEERED the Ireland win, while bemoaning a sub-par performance on our part. What a cracking game. Theres no chance of us gloating over your misfortunes.
Australia thiugh, **** em. Cheika and his 'grand slam' nonsense. Who ever declares a grand slam vpbefore they even leave home, especially on the back of such parlous performances leading up to the tour. Truly he's a man with his head up his own arse.
And i feel for your coach... I don't think he's a bad bloke and he comes with some pedigree, unlike the chancer you had before. I suspect you are in a slump as much from the ineptitude of the,previous coach as you are from the current squad. Things go in cycles and he's inherited a bad setup. Given time, even with your bizarre selection criteria, I think he will make it work.
You have to have faith. As a Kiwi cricket supporter, you know I know all about faith
