Petersen gets into the act too.
Slinga clean bowled, by the spinner
Sri Lanka 33 / 8
Another wicket, oh dear, played all round that one
What a strike rate by Slinga… 1 run from 9 balls
11.1 % strike rate
Review taken
Looks high
Albie now takes 1… and Sri Lanka has it referred
Given NOT out
Albie making the ball swing prodigiously!
The next ball he makes it hug the ground, absolutely NO bounce.
Very nice sunset in Paarl… on TV
Sri Lanka’s worm is flatlining…
Sri Lanka avoiding the dubious distinction of hitting the lowest ODI International score now, by 1 run so far
Umpire does not give an LBW shout from Robin Petersen… SA asks for the review.
Not given out
Jeeez, Sri Lanka batting at about 2 runs an over… that’s way slower than the run rate in a 5-Day Test.
Basically they are just surviving
Kulasekara, Biff’s it back to near his own stumps, but it misses his stumps… lucky bugger.
His eye for the Biff is not in as well as Biff’s eyes are.
Morne Morkel gets another wicket…. he’s got 4 now
Sri Lanka 43 / 9
Thats 9 down
Ok, GBS, I’ve registered rugby-talk.com on twitter, and if you’re’ happy, I’m going to run with it for a few weeks to see how it goes
Robin Petersen gets the last wicket.
Sri Lanka all out for 43.
Their lowest EVER
This could be it
137 @ Just For Kicks:
Do so…. it’ll be good!
Yup, thats it SL dead and buried
137@ grootblousmile:If possible, can you put a twitter widget up on the homepage, carrying the last 10 or so tweets?
142 @ Just For Kicks:
I have a twitter widget on, could just change it slightly.
Mail me the exact twitter feed URL you registered
143@ grootblousmile:Will do, just waiting for the email confirmation from them
@ grootblousmile:public profile is: http://twitter.com/rugby_talk
Hello all, just came back from Whiteriver, Nelspruit and Hazyview, got the most beautiful brumelias and other lovely plants for my Nursery. Will try and post some piks on my page. Eish i feel so humble to be in Gods gardens, the most beautiful plants seen.
I listened on RSG about this game, Sri Lanka is falling apart, they were a serious contender before now they are in the same league as the WI.
145 @ Just For Kicks:
I’ll mail you the Rugby-talk Logo… change the Picture to that
@ superBul:Agree on the cricket, whats you web page, would love to see the pics
@ Just For Kicks:
not sure you can call it a web page but just click on my name and it will take you to some of the photos i have shared here
147@ grootblousmile:Thanks, I took a snapshot of it, and tried ti upload that, but it seems I can’t until I confirm via email, which is not coming through. Have pressed the resend button a few times, but no luck. It may have to be tomorrow. Am going to email you a pic of my twitter widget, will yours do the same. My updates automatically.
