181 @ Puma:
We need a lead of at least 300 before the Aussies bat
It’s hot & moggy in Gauteng… quite cloudy

172@ grootblousmile:
Howzit boeta. You having problems with your site again?
Could not log on here for a week now. Everytime I tried to log on it went to a bloody ADVERT of PAINT!!! 😯 hehehe. Finally got on today. Even if I just tried to read a thread here could not get in to read it, everytime too just went to the same damn advert advert after clicking a thread to read. So not sure whats up?
So just let it go and tried today and it was fine.
So you know if I am not blogging here I can’t get onto this site for some reason.
184@ grootblousmile:That is us in trouble.
AB has to bat well now. Jeepers one goes then the rest just falls.
186 @ Puma:
No problems and I’m unaware of any Paint Advert…. I reccommend you check your PC for Adware & Spyware
182@ grootblousmile: Hope we ca, but doubting it right now.
@ Puma:ca = can
gbs @ 178
weggemoer
188@ grootblousmile:That was the first time it ever happend with the advert coming up. Had to have a laugh actually..lol. Tired all week but it kept on happening.
Today it is fine.
Lunch break
Okay gonna watch the golf during the break.
Do you guys want a Heineken Cup Live Game Thread for this afternoon and early evening?
195 – @ grootblousmile:Yeah put one up gbs. I hardly watch nh rugby will will watch today. Just pouring down with rain the whole day here.
Going out for lunch now. Back later.
Seems that things have slowed down considerably during this Session
Not too shabby, no wickets fell after lunch till drinks
Amla brings his 50 up with a lekker 4
Amla to his 50, and now both opening up a bit?
Nice crowd at Wanderers today, thats goo to see, and good for cricket
Ciao a tutti!
201 @ Just For Kicks:
Nice lazy day here in Gautengeleng today!
Was very bloody lekker in the pool just now… just sat there, drink in one hand, Kameeltjie in the other… I have a loooong underwater bench / seat / whatever you would call it, running along one side and around the one corner.
202 @ The_Young_Turk:
Hello you Old Fruit, have not seen you in a while!
@ grootblousmile:
Have checked the site regularly but had a lot of issues logging in and with slow loading and so I usually just give up commenting.
@ grootblousmile:
I’m afraid there are some technical problems with the site, Smiles. It’s not my computer as I don’t have problems with other sites.
205 @ The_Young_Turk:
Site issues gone now?
I employed a New Caching Module late this week… so it should load better.
how they hangin’, JfK?
@ grootblousmile:
Hope so. Will give you feed back. Don’t have problems at the moment but have experienced intermittent issues in the past….
AB looking in good form, edging towards his 50, has played some lovely shots this innings.
