140@ Tripples:Sure did. Thought I was alone here…..hehe.
Did Scrumdown not say his drifta never worked well. Is it worth it to buy one?
Pietman,
Howzit boet. Have not seen you here for a very long time. You still in Saudi?
Do you have a Blackberry Puma? I do and seriously will never use another phone!!!
All depends on your wireless signal in your area, first find out if you have a strong one otherwise it will not work. mine works fine but I live within city limits s000…
2 back to back boundaries, awesome batting Amla….
Drinks

@ Puma:
Howzit Pumes!
Just got in, as a matter of fact, forgot to log out 10 days ago!
Ben away to the coast (Bahrain) over the holidays (Haj), starting work tomorrow again….
Meanwhile, enjoying some delightful cricit from the sunny Cape. Can’t wait to get back there over Christmas, the more I see Newlands…..eishhh, a place of beauty, that is. Went there with my graddad from the age of three, would you believe,sitting under the Oaks.
Halloooo Pietman, klink asof dit goed gaan met jou!!!!
@ Pietman:159 – Cape is a beautiful place Piet.
Did you read that Province are in talks again about moving over to Cape Town Stadium? I think it is the way to go. Beautiful stadium and the location is awesome. I wish the Sharks would move over the road to Moses Mabhida Stadium, a beautiful modern stadium too.
153@ Tripples:I do Trips been using one for a very long time now. Best there is I feel.
Puma just read that they decided to stay at Newlands…..think there is too much sentiment with the old stadia which is totally understandable.
Okay have some work to do for a bit.
Keep the score going Trips.
Will catch up here later.
141/1
163@ Tripples: I think the new Stadiums are the way to go. Modern and awesome. The old ones are like sitting in the past. They are dated. The new stadiums have everything.
Anyhow only my feeling.
Catch up a bit later Trips. Keep the score going.
