And another, this is a massacre
Hehehehe
Lopsy gets yet another !
Sri Lanka 13 / 6
91 @ Just For Kicks:
At this rate Sri Lanka would be lucky to see 20 runs on the board!
Yup, and now, to rub salt in the wounds, AB brings on the 150mm Howitzer! There’s nowhere to hide
A free hit
Damn, Sri Lanka makes the 20 run mark…
Ama-Blomme now slacking off… hahaha
I noticed that when Kallis was batting, he was well lathered up with sunscreen, but still, he looks as if he has caught the sun badly. That Boland sun is a scorcher
Problem is, if Sri lanka all get out quickly, Biff will have the excuse that it was a very difficult pitch.
Booom, nogga Sri Lankan gone!
Dale Steyn gets into the action
Sri Lanka 24 / 7
Steyn in on the action, one of the Kula’s gone
Now the Slinga comes in to bat…
99@ grootblousmile:Not even a blind man would allow that excuse from Biff
Slinga had no idea about that first ball… and the next
Drinking a Oranjerivier Bubbly… lekker stuff
Who would get Man of the Match?
Biff for his 6?
Hahaha
104@ grootblousmile:Need to give you some of mine. It’s pretty exclusive stuff, only make 800 bottles a year, each bottle hand painted, and aged for 3 to 4 year on the lees. Good stuff – I know that, as it works on my wife!
@ grootblousmile:By the way, did the paper arrive, forgot to ask?
106 @ Just For Kicks:
I MUST definately get some… the stuff works on my wife too!
107 @ Just For Kicks:
No, not yet!
Was at the PO on Monday, had’nt come yet.
Will go there again tomorrow.
Freegin assholes are slow here in the Panne
105@ grootblousmile:Well no one else got 6, so if 6 as a final score is criteria for MOM, then who are we to argue!
108@ grootblousmile:It would work for Ashley, even with that suspect bowling action of his – I guarantee!
Albie going to bowl now…
albi on now. In slow motion, he has the most rubbery left hand in his bowling action I have ever seen
Great to see a full stadium for a midweek game, albeit a small stadium. Good on the old Bolanders
113 @ Just For Kicks:
Well he’s beaten the bat a few times, rubber arm and all
Sri Lanka 32 / 7
Drinks
115@ grootblousmile:Yup, he has tended to get a bit of tap in the past, I hope that this comeback is a goodie, would love to see him step up and become a Brian MacMillan type all rounder
Sri Lanka now so far behind the run rate, they’re actually in front…
117 @ Just For Kicks:
He’s good in the ODI’s with the bat…. plays moer and soek!
110@ Just For Kicks:Just noticed, Kulasekkera got 6 too – stiff competition for MOM now!
