They should never have got that. Bad bowling in the end. Was on about 163 and 3 overs left. Let it slip there.
Then I remember we played Oz there in 2006 and had to chase down 220 with a very good Oz side and we made it.
So you never know we may do it. Then we had a different team then.
Bosman is a huge batter lets hope he does the business out there tonight. So is a few of the others.
Go Proteas.
I bet the fighting was on the John Smit saying Luke was a ‘cancer thread’!! Good old Luke, always gets the hits if that was the one!!
I am glad John has good things to say about Percy, I just read an article on another site reviewing the book, the Boot Camp bit sounds interesting, before my time, I may have to get it!
Where did the scrapping break out btw? Oh yes, hot, hot, hot sounds WONDERFUL….!!!
89 – BDB
Give them a chance. Still need to bat. Remember Wanderers has a small field. We can get the 4’s and 6’s there. Now hoping we can but pressure will be on us for sure. Big total to chase down. We done it against Oz 3 years back and made the 220 we had to chase down. Don’t give up hope just yet. Some big batters in the Proteas side.
Jeez but they moered us big time , now its our turn lets see if someone can give it back to them.
92 – Carol you got it right. On that thread. Alays the same if Luke is mentioned and now John it seems too with some. Not sure why some just have to dislike John so much. He has been awesome for SA rugby.
Hope he shows everyone that said all those nasty bits about our captain just what he is made of tonight.
Good luck to our team and our brilliant rugby captain. And all the rest like Victor, FdP, Bakkies and MORNE. Hope they beat the French. Really want them to beat them in France. Missing 4 of our players that played during the year and 4 great players too.
94 – Super, Those last 3 overs boet, damn they came at us.
We can still do it. Hope so. Wanderers not boundary easy to get the 4’s and 6’s especially at altitude but to chase the pressure is on us.
Maybe should have batted first. We won the toss.
SA 2 / 0 after 1 over
Four PLUS Six…. Bosman
Back to front there……..hehehehe. Meant Wanderers boundary not easy to get.
Have not had my wine yet either. Typing stupid there…… 😀
Luke Watson had an affair with John Smits wife!!!
SA 13 / 0 after 2 overs
I should just give up 🙄 Trying to type too fast and not doing it..hehehe. Meant Wanderes boundary easy to get.
95 – Having a read now, Dawn was on fire today…saw she made you laugh too!
You have to tell it as it is, who want to read a fabricated autobiography? Who was his writer?
101 – GBS,
We need more than that but it is a good start.
100 – Was it an affair or a furtive grapple somewhere?
Six from Bosman!
103 – Carol,
Really everyone was getting worked up there for nothing. Only just a clip from the book. Can never take that serious just yet until we have read the whole book.
Some really don’t understand that.
Bosman on fire here. Go BOSMAN.
105 @ Karlien Cotsenwold. It was an affair. That is why the sharks were in such a hurry to get rid of the #$%^.
To the tv now. Back in a moment.
Fourrrrrrrrrrr from Bosman
Nogga Four from Bosman
SA 29 / 0 after 3 overs
Fourrrrrrr for who… Bosman!
Bosman on FIRE. Go you good thing. Even if you lose your wicket. Fine just get those big runs.
Go Proteas.
Go Bosman. 🙂
108 – Naughty boy….Thought he was clean living? 😆
SA 34 / 0 after 4 overs
112 GBS – Still with us? You seem absorbed with the cricket!!
115 @ Carol, You heard it here first. 😈
93: goed, ek sal hul ‘n kans gee, het nie geweet Loots Bosman speel nie. 😉
119 @ BDB – Almal uit vir 115.
