90 @ Just For Kicks:
Philander was bloody good against Aussie and now he’s continuing this form…. maybe will become one of the greats of the game!
I like his attitude and temperament.
91@ grootblousmile:Yup, although, I wonder how he would do on the sub continent pitches
92 @ grootblousmile:
If this game goes on like this I might just decide to go to Sahara Park, Centurion… over the weekend.
By the way, Sahara was the supplier who had the TV on, when I was there briefly.
92 @ Just For Kicks:
He seems to get pretty good swing on the ball… and if you’re good and passionate and properly motivated, like he seems to be…. he’ll be good anywhere.
Like the fact that he can bat as well…. good all rounder
93@ grootblousmile:Time to get some sponsorship from them, methinks! Could get exciting over the w/e as the pitch dries out and the ball starts purchasing.
95 @ Just For Kicks:
The only sell to Retailers, not to the public…
… but what I like about them is that they sell good brands generally, like LG LED & LCD Monitors, LED & LCD TV’s & Notebooks, Seagate Hard Drives and their own brand, Sahara (Notebooks, UPS’s, Flash Drives… ect), apart from the usual Intel, AMD & Microsoft stuff.
They also sell Samsung Printers… and one very, very kak range… LEX-farking-MARK printers (I would not sell Lexmark if they gave it to me for free).
Their Warrantee and backup service on products are also very good, and that counts for a lot.
Their brand name in the SA IT Industry is getting very big…
Biff goes to 50 with a superb 4
A pretty typical, unremarkable display of batting sees Biff to his 50, but, I suppose, it doesn’t matter how you get there. His onside play has certainly looked a lot prettier, but as for the rest – he’s never going to find himself in any coaching manuals. If nothing else, true grit. Well done Biffer.
96@ grootblousmile:I wouldn’t know any of that as all you find in my house is apple, not all this riff raff stuff!
98 @ Just For Kicks:
Pitch looks tame to me…. fark, we should bat for two and a half days, rack up 600 odd, then have 2 full days available to bowl them out!
Centurion usually is a belter of a wicket, and the wicket remains in shape for long…
@ grootblousmile:I asked you earlier, but you’d already disappeared, whats Boston Butt, I’m intrigued?
99 @ Just For Kicks:
What hard drives and kakkas do you think they put into Apple kakkas?
The only good Apple you get is an apple you eat….
I wonder if HMRKB Herath can remember all his names
101 @ Just For Kicks:
A Boston Butt is a pork butt, wrapped in a type of netting… you boil it and then you roast it (you take the netting off when roasting it).
It is freegin good… much like a Christmas ham… I also glaze it with pineapple syrup and pieces of pineapple, and cherries…
It is traditionally a Southern American dish…
Flokken Lekker jong!
102@ grootblousmile:I haven’t a clue, all that matters to me is that shiny one piece pressed aluminium cover with a pretty apple logo that lights up. Whats under the bonnet, as they say, is not my concern. As to eating apples, I have enough of them living in apple country!
103 @ Just For Kicks:
I think his parents were already angry at him just after his birth, therefore all the freegin names!
I have THREE names… and that is already a mouth full.
104@ grootblousmile:Sounds awesome, any seasoning? My wife makes and sells Christmas hams, they’re pretty awesome too, an old Scottish family recipe
105 @ Just For Kicks:
Apple smapple….
Not a lot of boundaries today, ball slowing up fairly quickly on that outfield
107 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip, some seasoning…. but that’s my secret… my signature dish (if maybe the only one).
Ask your wife to get hold of a Boston Butt, and let her prepare it much like her Christmas hams… then try it, beats traditional Chrismas ham by quite a bit. Think they age and cure it a bit too, sometimes they smoke it a bit too.
Just better than a ham, I think!
108@ grootblousmile:It’s a bit like driving a Volvo, or a Ferrari, both are going to get you there, but you’re never going to turn heads in a Volvo, and it takes you twice as long
Hey purdy lady!!
111 @ Just For Kicks:
… and when you have to service or repair an apple it’s like a French car…. it’s freegin expensive and it’ll never be the same again…
There are some very pretty ladies up in Chwaaaannne. Love the idea of the ‘Ladies Day’ in the marquee, they look very smart, and look like they have really enjoyed themselves
114 @ Just For Kicks:
Pretoria is reported to have 5 ladies to every guy….
Slaapstad, however is reported to have 5 gay guys for every lady…. hehehe
113@ grootblousmile:Hahaha
grootblousmile wrote:
Wrong – 5 gay guys for every guy – a very scary thought!
Oh fark, there Biff goes…. LBW, for 61
Flok!
Smith gone LBW bowled Dilshan for 61. – 81/1
