Bit late, I am afraid, but my plums come first! Wow, was it hot out there, got to 4 pm, and had to let the guys go home and swim in the dam. Got some nice plums off though – Wish I lived closer to SuperBul, they’d look so much better in your stall than Spar!!
Wickettt! Tharanga, after a very good knock goes. Caught Ingram, Bowled Peterson 58 off 65 balls. SL 94/1 after 18.3 overs
So Ingram and Alviro Peterson in for Kallis and Amla. Bostik Smith still stuck there though
Hellooooooooooo
Damn, I clean forgot about the cricket… in between car kakkas and fixing a head of freegin PC’s.
@ grootblousmile:Howzit GBS, got your email, will trawl through the rubbish for a mugshot
Wicket!!
Talking about plums… he was plum out of luck there!
Wickettt. Dilshan gone. Caught Steyn, bowled Duminy
SL 102/2
5 @ Just For Kicks:
Will HAVE (unfortunately) look like you, so if it’s ugly it’s ugly… otherwise they might not let you into Newlands!
Hehehe
9@ grootblousmile:Well its not going to be pretty, but the neither are you or car at the moment, so I won’t feel in too bad a company!
10 @ Just For Kicks:
Talking about my car… the assholes want to give very little for the wreck…
11@ grootblousmile:you mean the insurance, and if them, why?
10 @ Just For Kicks:
Goeie MOERRRRRRRR, you are ugly!
Expected a thinner, dark haired “gentleman”.
PS! In that sun you need to wear a HAT!
Good over spoilt by poor fielding
12 @ Just For Kicks:
Car not insured, can you believe it… I was threatening, threatening… and never got round to it!
That’ll teach me!
Always buy my cars cash… the best cars in the world, are cars that are fully paid for.
13@ grootblousmile:Piss off – at least my wife loves me (she is very short sighted though)
15@ grootblousmile:If that doesn’t teach you to slow down, then nothing will!
@15 GBS
I feel your pain, had a disagreement with a X3 December 2010, T-boned the dude, that took a quick gap at the intersection, cost me plenty to repair my Lux, cost him more for his X#, just his was insured, mine not! So I just put a bigger bullbar on! That’will f@ck em!
18 @ Cheetah4eva:
Wonder what I’ll buy now?
Can one put Bullbars all round a Beemer?
Hehehe
I don’t think there’s anything which will slow me down, it’s so ingrained…. terrible habbit, but hey, that’s me. As calm as I am in the real world (and I am one of the most laid back farkers there is) as hectic I am behind a steering wheel.
Is G Smith out yet?
19@ grootblousmile:
Buy an Isuzu.
Brilliant throw Faf from backward point GONE. Sanga gone for 38 off 37 balls SL 154/3
20@ Loosehead:There’s talk of them super gluing him to the wicket today, so he stays long enough for you to see him – he’s looking a lot older now, don’t know if you’ll recognise him. Don’t worry, I’ll point him out for you when the time comes
Lots of shouts of CAAATCHHH out there, but other than that, not much to report on. Chandimal just smacked 4 though over long on
20 @ Loosehead:
No man, no bakkie for me!
I’m not a plaasboer, I’m a stadhoer… errrr, I mean a stadsjapie!
@ grootblousmile:How do I make this thread a sticky? just added another story, and this one has dropped down
Wickettttt! Another great throw, this time Ingram runs out Jayawardene for 15 off 19 balls SL 183/4 off 35.4 overs
At least something a better game this time.
Theres been some great fielding displays so far in this match, unfortunately backed up by some fairly ordinary bowling. It is a pretty slow, flat pitch though.
@ 4man:If they can just pick up the scoring rate again, they will give us a good challenge, with Ingram and Peterson in as newbies
