59@ grootblousmile: We should bowl them out. Though have not watched a single minute of this game. So not sure of the pitch or the weather in Kimberley?
Been a very, very busy week for me. So off now for some well earned sundowners….lol.
Catch up tomorrow.
61 @ Puma:
You’ve been scarse….
62@ grootblousmile:Just really busy this week. Had no time to even look at any of the blogs to be honest.
Okay now really out of here. Will try and catch up and read some threads here tomorrow.
HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
So when it doesn’t matter Graeme Smith makes runs.
Must fokkof to work.
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Heeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaa
Beautiful catch by Alviro Petersen ON the boundary…
Hell, that was good… looked like it was a 6 all the way, Alviro calmly jumped and grabbed it, kept his balance just inside the rope, MAN OUT!
Sri Lanka 100 / 2 after 16.2 overs.
Wicket is a belter… no wonder SA got 299.
Sri Lanka keeping with the required rate of 6 an over…
Sri Lanka 146 / 2 after 24 overs… still keeping up with the rate…
Fark, this time Alviro misses a catch on the boundary… eishhh.. and it goes for 4.
@ grootblousmile:
Funeral Parlour, now I have heard everything!! Gosh, this could be very entertaining!
Bonsai GBS would make a great cheif mourner!
Our local undertaker has a very smart car btw!! Hehehehh

How did that happen?
@ Blue Bird:He’d make a wonderful professional mourner!
Easy wicket off a slow ball, Thirimane chipped it to mid on – Duminy, bowled Philander for 13 off 15 balls. SL 194/4 after34.4 overs
Chandimal to 50 off 67 balls. SL 202/4 after 35.5 overs
Parnell has a LBW decision turned down due to a no ball. You have to get the basics right guys
Some big runs coming in the power play with Robbie Peterson bowling, a big 6 and a 4 in that over
Sri Lanka needs 75 to win off 72 balls…. seems like they’re coasting.
Pandemonium, batsmen, Bowler, Wicket keeper, ball and stumps strewn all over the square, but sadly, no run out in all of that
68 & 69 @ Blue Bird:
Money is money… if there’s good money in the Undertaker’s business, then so be it.
I was thinking, I want to get involved in about 15 businesses as Silent partner, protecting myself by handling ALL the finances… but not just ANY business, it has to have extraordinary potential…
I want to keep an ear out for the best business ideas for which people don’t have the money to go it alone, then invest some money (have to make my investment back in the first year) into those businesses as equal partner, and thus getting it off the ground, the other person doing ALL the work (except the finances).
If the business lasts a year and my investment is paid back, then everything thereafter is a bonus.
You know how the saying goes… money makes money…
SL 244/4 after 40
Sri Lanka ends their batting PowerPlay and now need less than a run a ball.
Sri Lanka need 56 from 60 balls, with 6 wickets standing.
Wickettttttttt!
Tsotsie gets Chandimal!
It’s now 54 needed off 54 balls again…
9 Overs left… the SA bowling must now be ultra tight!
Wow, what a strange over, but it ended the right way, with a wicket to Lopsie, so alls well that ends well. Now a few more please
83 @ Just For Kicks:
Wickets now will be like gold!
Sri Lanka 250 on the board.
Sri Lanka 250 for 5 with 8 overs left.
Come on dammit… they have too many wickets in hand
Huge 6 by Sri Lanka, too short by Petersen…. and another 6
Sri Lanka 266 / 5
Perera on 50 off only 30 balls.
Sri Lanka looks hands down favourites now… eishhh
SA will have to drag it back big time now….
Come on Tsotsie… nice couple of dot balls.
But we need more than that.
Unless there is some very special bowling/fielding, which there hasn’t been yet, Sri Lanka are in the pound seat here – 32 off 37, should be a walk in the park. Just shows how poor our second half batting performance was.
