Had to pop out, missed the end again, not to sad about that though! Oh well, bring on Game 3 at Newlands next week, and Gary give the youngsters a chance please. Cheers all.
Oh dear not a good result, was hoping on my return from little break away there would still be some cricket to follow. I guess its hard and maybe a bit unfair to comment too much on a game haven’t actually watched only followed via the ‘net, but at something like 44 for 3 on Wednesday in Sri Lanka’s 2nd innings I thought maybe there still was a chance for SA so it must have been all downhill from there
109@ Just For Kicks:
Just as well I didn’t put my money where my mouth was, to be fair though had the odds been more enticing I may have…and lost it, so at least its not test match and money lost.
