64/6 Hope we make a hundred. 🙄
Another day has almost come and gone
Can’t imagine what else could wrong
Sometimes I’d like to hide away somewhere and lock the door
A single battle lost but not the war (‘cause)
Tomorrow’s another day
And I’m thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain
Hi Ashley hope you had a wonderful chrismas, just came back in at 64 for 6. That is shocking !!!!!!!!
Think our cricket team needs some sort of revamping, this not acceptable.
Someday when my crying’s done
I’m gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you’ll never see me complain
I’ll do my crying in the rain
I’ll do my crying in the rain
I’ll do my crying in the rain
I’ll do my crying in the rain
473 – Ash, How you mate? Hope well.
Yip, Agree, Think England have outplayed us here for sure. Just do think somehow if we bowled first when that pitch was not really good for batting it may have been different. GS got it wrong. I was hoping after about 20 overs the first day it would settle down and become a really good for batting. It never did we struggled out there.
Just have to re-group for Newlands where at least we should get 5 days of cricket without rain.
treehugger @ 483
dont disturb me
i’m busy with my rain dance, hehehe
anyway, thanks
christmas was wonderful
…
been spoiled at the moment by the p***teas, though 😯
484 – Ash, Good one. I feel like crying in the rain. LOL. The rain was on now it is off for a bit I think.
Snoek wasnt there a Cullen as well, think he had cancer for a while and by the way i lovvvvvvvved Hansie dont think he actually lost a game for money. Maybe other things.
Ha !! I really have gone outside buck naked and done a raindance in the dry season with a guinne fowl feather in my hair doing the yaaayaya whooping thing but told the hub if it rains he has to round around the garden naked but he never has.
489 – Well I hope it works for us. Not in this test we are done here but for Newlands. 😀
See Boucher still in and Morkel. Boucher on 20 probably our highest score today. Boucher the fighter always doing it for us. Why some people want him dropped is just plain stupid if you ask me. Now if they all could have batted like Bouch we may have had a chance.
No Puma only done in times of drought
489 – Hope it works for us at Newlands. Here we have no chance.
See Bouch on 20 and still in with Morkel. Boucher the fighter still doing it for us. Why some people want him dropped is just stupid. Now if most batted like him today we may still be in with a chance.
Sorry retyped that as it just never showed up. So repeated myself there 😀
Stuart Broad looks like the bearded lady 😆 he really is a pretty boy, beard makes no difference.
493 – Cheers Treehugs, Out of here now. Working from a tiny laptop and it put tooooooooooooo much strain on my neck. My pc not working at the moment. Will have someone tomorrow to look at it otherwise will dump the damn thing in the bin…..hehehe. Giving me toooooooooooo much trouble.
Enjoy your evening. Try to catch up tomorrow if my computer is working.
Carol well done to England. They giving us a huge, huge hiding.
ok, sing with me 😆
…
Someone told me long ago, there’s a calm before the storm.
I know, and it’s been comin’ for some time.
When it’s over, so they say, it’ll rain a sunny day.
I know, shinin’ down like water.
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
comin’ down on a sunny day?
….
😀 ok, enough of this raindance stuff, we honestly doesnt deserve a draw!
just glad i’m at work, dont think i wouldve been able to sit through all this k*k the proteas dished up over the last few days!!
anyway guys
cheers, i’m out
see ya tomorrow!!
Cheers Ash, I am out of here too.
The cricket sux
Jeez what a mess. I will say congrats to England and Carol. If life is fair England will beat us up tomorrow, they deserve it in this test. We were totally outplayed. From being down and out this is a great comeback.
The Proteas is wilting like a fish in the desert sun.
Jannie is in Gr.1 en sy Engelsjuffrou het probleme met hom.
Jannie meen hy ‘ s te slim vir Gr.1 en wil na Gr.3 oorgeplaas word.
Sy suster is in Gr.3 en Jannie reken hy is baie slimmer as sy.
Die juffrou het genoeg gehad en vat hom na die skoolhoof.
Die hoof sê hy gaan Jannie toets.As hy druip,bly hy in Gr.1.
Hoof:”Wat is 3×3?”
Jannie :”9″
Hoof:”Wat is 6×6? ‘
Jannie :”36″
So gaan dit aan totdat die juffrou die hoof vra of sy nie maar vir Jannie `n paar vrae in Engels kan vra nie
Juffrou:”What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?”
Jannie :”Legs”
Juffrou:”What do you have in you pants that I don’t have?”
Jannie :”Pockets”
Juffrou:”What starts with a c and ends with a t, is hairy,oval,delicious and
contains a thin,whitish liquid?”
Die hoof vee die sweet van sy voorkop af
Jannie :”Coconut”
Juffrou:”What goes in hard and pink and comes out soft and sticky?”
Jannie :”Bubblegum”
Juffrou:”What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down and a dog does on three legs?”
Jannie :”Shake hands”
Juffrou:”Now I’ll ask some “Who am I” sort of questions, okay?”
Jannie :”Yup”
Juffrou: You stick your pole inside me. You tie me down to get me up. I get wet before you.
Jannie :”A tent”
Juffrou: A finger goes into me. You fiddle with me when you’re bored. The best man always has me first
Die hoof lyk baie gespanne.
Jannie :”wedding ring”
Juffrou: I come in many sizes. When I’m not well I drip. When you blow me you feel good.
Jannie :”Nose”
Juffrou:I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates I come with a quiver.
Jannie :”Arrow”
Juffrou: What starts with a F ends with a K that means a lot of excitement?
Jannie :”firetruck
Sê die hoof: Sit die klein bliksem in Gr.5! Ek het die laaste 10 antwoorde verkeerd gehad!!!
(en baie van julle ook, nê) 😉
503 – Ash 😆
Ek het die hele donnerse spul verkeerd. 🙄
And that is a big defeat by the proteas. Kom manne, julle kan beter as dit.
Ok
Alles oor, en wat ‘n skande!!
Hier is soos ons kolwers en boulers in die eerste twee toetse gevaar het:
Smith- 0, 12,75,22 =109 teen 27
Prince- 45, 0, 2,16 =63 teen 16
Amla- 19,100, 2,06 =127 teen 32
Kallis- 120, 4,75, 3 =202 teen 51
AB- 32, 64,50, 2 =148 teen 37
Duminy- 56, 11, 4, 0 = 71 teen 18
Boucher- 49,63*,39,29 =180 teen 60
Maklik om te sien wie nie hul f@kken deel doen nie!!
Die boulers as volg:
Steyn – * , * , 2/94
Morkel- 1/60, 2/46, 3/78
Ntini- 2/78, 0/41, 0/114
Haris- 5/123, 2/51, 1/146
De Wet- 1/72 , 4/55, *
Duminey- 1/70 , 0/12, 3/89
Kallis- * , 0/12, 0/43
En dit terwyl Swann 9 paaltjies in die laaste toets gekry het en 14 sover in die 2 toetse!!
Ons kolwers moet beslis beter doen, veral Smith, Prince en Duminey
Ntini moet ongelukkig waai, en as Harris nie kan paaltjies vat nie moet Botha of vdMerwe ingebring word.
Ooooo boys, not much cricket chat today!! 😆
superBul thanks for the congrats for this match……We know we are playing the best team in the world currently, so no doubt the tide will turn!
Ashley, that was very…. 😳 !! Hahahahah
Congrats to England and Carol… pityful display by the Proteas… they deserved getting their arses kicked big time!
Ashley, we are shocked, shocked!! Am going to have to go to confession after reading that, surely it must be a mortal sin? heh, heh.
Saffas do have a sense of humour after all. 🙂
508 – GBS Where were all the Proteas supporters?
No wonder the Saffas lost heart if the only spectators were the Barmy Army!!
The stands looked empty!
