    I see the thunder is affecting the signal

  • 32

    31 – Super, so the thunder is there too? So far just huge thunder here storm has not started. Will soon. For now the signal is still fine but it will affect it once the storm starts.

    Kings XI Punjab won the toss and elected to field

    now they are losing wickets

    25 – Super, that is for sure…..hahaha. Only a thunderstorm is far worse to play in. It could be over by the time the game starts. Fingers crossed otherwise wont get a signal.

  • 36

    Think all the signals go to Joburg at SABC tower or am i totally wrong. Sentech might do the distribution of signals. But i am guessing

  • 37

    Puma it is the Stormers sending their Lightning bolt from their logo 😀

  • 38

    And the Storm from the aftermath of the Stormers/Canes match hahaha

    Hallo Puma and Superbul

  • 39

    37 – Evening Karen….hahaha. Could be. Still only thunder storm has not started yet. Maybe it blows over. Sometimes that happens.

  • 40

    Naand Karen, ek dog daai s in jull logo lyk soos n slang in die gras en dit is Pierre Spies wat hom deurboor?

  • 41

    Hahaha hallo Puma. Well the weather is still awesome down here – well hope the Storm does not hit 🙂 Bulls should take it

  • 42

    36 – Super, think it all goes to Randburg for DSTV.

    See only two got it right for the Chenni Super Kings. The rest of us chose Delihi Daredevils. This game is like a gamble. You just never know.

  • 43

    Hallo Superbul – hey dis ‘n mooi logo daai – onthou die “slang” kan pik jy weet.

    Puma playing cricket bru is like playing the lotto 🙂

    41 – Karen, We have had it very, very hot the past few weeks. Normally this time of year up in Joburg it is getting cooler but so far still hot. Today it was overcast for a bit and cooler.

    The thunder seems to be getting less now. Think the storm may have by passed us. Hoping otherwise we lose the signal everytime there is a storm.

    This time of year in the Cape is brilliant. Best time to visit. Once mid April comes it starts to change quick.

  • 47

    Ek weet net hier by ons in die bos oorleef min slange waneer die Buffels hulle “stampede”

  • 48

    45 – Karen, for sure. Especially the IPL. You never know. I have to look who is in the teams too. Then you see some big name and think they should win but not always. Like rolling the dice. You never know.

  • 49

    Superbul so jy se die bulle is buffels ai ai ai – bad comparison 🙂 Jis jy is darem baie anti-Stormer/WP vandag 👿

  • 50

    44 – Super, That is not a bad score. Also will make for a good game. Once it is over 200 just too hard for the team chasing.

  • 51

    Karen 20/20 cricket is regtig

  • 52

    Lol Puma – well the weather is normally cooler this time of the year – best time for CT weather is Feb. Actually weird that the hot weather has lastest so long.

    Yes the IPL is difficult to pick

  • 53

    20/20 cricket is fun om te kyk ek stem daarmee saam maar ek het vergeet om picks in my pools te sit aan die begin saam met my ander pool toe besluit ek ek los dit maar. Jis ek probeer premiership sokker te predict en doen darem nie so sleg nie want wat ek van sokker wees is nie eintlik watswonders nie

  • 54

    Ok guys I am out of here – enjoy the game.

  • 55

    Nee Karen dis nou rerig net skoor soek. Maar ek sien geen bokse wyn van my pele hier opdaag nie so moenie lekker rooibok en buffel biltong in die pos verwag nie. 😆

  • 56

    The rain has arrived. Full force now. Huge, huge thunderstorm. Lost the signal now on tv.

    So hoping not to lose the ADSL signal. Will have to keep up with everyone here.

    Hope by the time the game starts this storm is off and signal back.

  • 57

    54 – Cheers Karen.

  • 58

    Hhahaha ek weet man. Ek drink self die rooiwyn of altans ek gaan dit nou doen – gaan bietjie kuier want die kiddies is by die green goblin die naweek. Geniet die langnaweek en speel nou mooi met die Stormer supporters anders strip ek my moer totally 😀

    By the way ek het jou verbygesteek op die bru pool in die rugby hehehe
