GBS, I can do this till 6.00pm, then I have to go and cook the masses their pizza’s. Will finish around 9.00pm, can then carry on. Can you/superBul fill in between?
1 @ Just For Kicks:
That is what I was hoping for…
I have to go to a few places, amongst others to a glass shop, to buy a couple of panes of glass.
Also have a painter here, we are re-painting the whole house.
Hope I can see quite a bit of the cricket action, inbetween.
SA win toss and elect to bat – good decision, team changes include Wayne Parnell and Vernon Philander for Albie Morkel and Dale Steyn who are taking a rest. Albie needing a rest??????
There has been such debate around Smiths form and the Kirsten/Smith friendship this week, Smith must really be feeling it today. Lets hope for his sake, he can score a big one. As I say that, a ball goes right over leg stump. Where was he going?
Sl bowling a little wayward at the moment, a lot going down leg – easy pickings
Smith edges one, but through slips
Damn, Biff must be on juice or something….
He’s already exceeded my expectations by 14 runs….
Biff 15 off 12 balls
Petersen on 8 off 12 balls
If you want a real Pommie Golden Cricket Commentary moment go to You Tube and put in ‘Johnson and Aggers Legover’……
Stick with it for a moment….and if you don’t giggle you are made of stone!
4th over brings with it a bit of spin – or rather slow bowling as there is no turn yet!
@ Blue Bird:it’s a classic, that one!
7@ grootblousmile:bowlers doing their best to get him a good start
Peterson taking on the slow bowling, over the top for 4 over long on
…..and again, same shot, lower trajectory, for 6
summary of Sri Lankan bowling: too short, too full, too wide and too much leg side. Other than that some great bowling.
On this slow pitch, these balls are just sitting up and screaming “Moer me, please!”
Possibility of rain later, important for these two to score some fast runs
63/0 after 10 overs
SL again using 5 bowlers in first 10 overs – is that really a wise idea?
Smith looking better and better, some of that confidence returning now
80/0 after 12, Sri Lanka gifting this one at the moment
Wicket, Peterson gone, holing out to mid on, caught Theranga, bowled Herath, for 37 off 38 balls
Gister is ek Builders Warehouse toe, maar ek is nie meer seker of dit n wyse besluit was nie. Sien, die vorige aand het ek ‘n kerrie met chillis gemaak en ‘n moerse lot van die dis opgevreet. Die chillis was een van Mike se gepatenteerde “jy-bekak-jouself-chilli” souse.
Moerse smaaklik, maar dit raak later nogal pynlik en ek kan julle n geskrewe guarantee gee dat jou hol oop hang om asem te haal die volgende dag. Jou boud wange trek so wyd oop dit lyk soos ‘n spaniel se ore. Nou toe ek vanoggend wakker word, toe verwag ek dat die 06:00 “trein” my sal toilet toe roep, maar niks het gebeur nie. Alhoewel ek kon voel hoe daai chillis deur my derms swem. Dat daai chillis wou uit was nie altemit nie, maar ek het nie meer geweet waneer nie. Maar ek het dinge gehad om te doen en moes toe Builders Warehouse toe gaan om Rubol vir die dek te kry. Daar aangekom het ek die trollie gekry en so paar ander goetertjies gekoop soos houtskroewe en double sided tape, voordat ek by die verwe en terpentyne aangekom het. Dis die verste punt van die toilet af toe daai pyn deur slaan. Ek het met my elmboe op die trollie se handvatsel geleun op daai stadium. Skielik is my tree vanself korter en toe my holspiere toe trek toe trek daai selfdeholspiere my arms ook reguit. Dit het gelyk of my bene se bearings geslaan het want ekt tot stilstand gekom. Ek dink my holspiere is deur die chillis gyselaar gehou gewees, want toe kom daar n waarskuwing skoot uit. Ek was te bang om te beweeg want anders kom daar nog walms uit, maar het geweet: “Bra, djy moet nou hardloop”.
Ek het in beweging gekom en net toe ek by die aisle uitstap, kom daar so bleeksiel nerd met sy Builders Warehouse pakkie en vra “More meneer. Waarmee kan ek u help?” Nou kyk…..die knaap weet van building net mooi niks, so ek mompel vinnig nee en stap aan. Ek is ook nou nie die afknouerige tipe nie, maar toe die knaap verder in die aisle afstap, toe draai ek om en kyk hoe die knaap in die rigting van daai walm stap. Genade mens. Dit was asof hy in ‘n muur vasgeloop het. Ek moes hom seker gewaarsku het, maar ek het nie. Sy oge het net so geknip-knip, toe val ‘n swerm onsigbare bye hom aan want hy waai sy arms en versnel in tru rat. Ek was emosioneel in twee geskeur. Ek bars uit van die lag, maar DIT waas ‘n groot fout. Daar kom ‘n sarsie skote daar onder uit, wat ek later hoor vir ander customers soos ‘n gewapende roof geklink het. Hulle het blykbaar dekking geslaan en hul beursies en selfone tussen die rakke weg gesteek. Dinge was vir my nie meer so snaaks nie en ek jaag toe met daai trollie af toilette toe. Niemand het ook ag geslaan op my nie want almal dink ek hol van die rowers se geweerskote af weg.
Maar al die pad “klap die skote” en ek hoop en bid ek maak die kakhuis voor die finale storting plaasvind. Vir “once in a while” was “luck” aan my kant. My gat het nog nie eers die sitplek geraak nie, toe vind daai einste finale storting plaas. Ek hoor toe hoe ‘n arme drommel die kakhuis instap en al wat hy se is “Liewe Blik ……..!!!!” Daarna het ek die net sqeak van die kakhuisdeur gehoor soos hy daar uit storm.
Uiteindelik is ek klaar en ek stap uit. Nog ‘n winkel assistent kom na my toe en se “Meneer, een of ander idioot het ‘n stinkbom in die winkel gelos. My bestuurder wil he almal moet buite staan sodat hy die waaiers vir so 2 minute op full blast kan laat werk.” Ek het gegrinnik, maar daar was nog “rowers” aan die anderkant van my grensdraad wat toe die laaste ligte skote afvuur nog voor ek kon knyp. Die winkel assistent se neus het skielik gefrommel en na hy sy hemp oor sy neus getrek het, het hy sy vinger in my rigting gedruk en geskreeu “Dit was hy!” Die bestuurder het my eenkant toe geroep en ek is later formeel in kennis gestel, of liewer gese dat ek geban is by Builders Warehouse.
Ek is toe huis toe sonder die artikels wat ek wou aanskaf en net betyds vir middag ete. Al wat daar was om te eet, was gisteraand se chilli-kerrie wat toe nog beter smaak as voorheen. Ek vreet toe maar die laaste lot ook op. Maar die dek moet geverf word met die Rubol, so more gaan ek Mica toe moet gaan……………..
50 up for Smith, could this be the start of a good run – it better had Biffy boy
@ Ashley:Yup, it’s Mica or Macro for you I’m afraid. I do have some spare Rubol though, if you need to keep your head down for a while!
jfk @ 24
😀
100 up for SA
Lovely shot for 4 through extra cover by AB, AB also going at a run a ball now….and another beautiful shot through mid off this time, FOUR
And another over the top of mid on this time, thats 3 x 4 in that over
A big 6 from Smith over the long on boundary
Batting power play taken in the 21 over, good thinking AB, I like it. Both big hitters have been at the crease for a while now, ball is a bit older, all adding up to a big potential score
