VRYSTAAAAAAAAT!
I see that we won the cricket.
Hellooooooooooooo
Goooooooooooo Rugby!
@ Loosehead:By a country mile – 9 wickets. Philander took 6 in the second innings to give him a 10-for for the match. An outstanding bowling display by all the bowlers, except for perhaps Tahir, who, whilst not bad, wasn’t on his best form. The first SA batting innings by the top order failed miserably, but AB and the tail got them out of trouble, and apart from Alviro’s early wicket in the second innings, the NZ attack didn’t trouble the South Africans who knocked off the deficit at better than a run a ball. Match finished inside 3 days, not good for test cricket, and the crowd attendance was dismal
@ grootblousmile:Morning
Players out on the field
Game ON!
I’ve gone out on a limb on this one – ‘Canes by 20 – Hahaha, been a busy week in the cellar, and I think I may not have been concentrating! Oh well, Goooooooo ‘Canes, moer hulle
Easy penalty for Colin Slade of the Highlanders… over
Landers 3 / 0 Canes
8 @ Just For Kicks:
We’re enemies today, I picked Landers by 5 on Bru
I see Lorry Lawrence is doing the blow job again
10@ grootblousmile:May the force be against you for this match then!
11 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip… and it probably depends who gave him the best blow job, who will win!
I must a admit – pains me to say it, but – I think I prefer the Bulls away strip to theses lime green things that the ‘Landers are wearing!
More almal.
Wie speel hier, die Gifappeltjies teen die Suurlemoene ?
12 @ Just For Kicks:
My reasoning behind my pick…
Canes have been poor so far, were lucky to beat the Lions (who were even poorer), whereas the Bucketheads were gritty and deserved to win their 3 games.
Yes Loosehead and JFK looks like it was a big win in the cricket!
Die Canes se geeltruie lyk ook baie beter as die grys pajamas waarmee hul wegwedstryde speel.
15 @ bdb:
Hello BiDiBiDi,
Nee dis die Bytjies en die Blommetjies
Handbriekie is making breakfast, bacon, french toast and mushrooms.
One wonders how these players won the world cup – they must still be suffering from that hangover, as no NZ team has yet to set the Super Rugby on fire
20@ Loosehead:No mushrooms for me, please, but perhaps a sausage instead?
20 @ Loosehead:
No, Handbriekie is fast asleep, she was ill in the night and kept me awake for half of it…. you must be referring to someone else… hehehehe
Highlanders in green for St Paddies day?
14: geweet jy is so bietjie pienk aan die binnekant. 😉
17: Proteas het goed gedoen, maar die Black Caps is werklik nie ‘n goeie span nie, net twee goeie kolwers (McCullum en Taylor, een goeie bouler (Vettori), die res is middelmatig.
I could do with a BIGGGG cup of Hot Milo this morning…
16@ grootblousmile:My reasoning, just the opposite, Thought that a team with such potential could continue to play so poorly, looks like I was very wrong!!!!!
Tryyyyyyyyy Colin Slade!
Try time for the little green men from the mountains
Landers 10 / 0 Canes
