20 Wickets against 2 wickets… I would call that a proper PiellewapperKlap!
Kevin Petersen eat crap haha
Only blemish on a wonderful Sporting weekend for SA was the dour Bulls performance against the Saders
Well done to Amla on mom.
303 @ grootblousmile:
Not to worry boeta, Bulls are rebuilding. Their time will come again.
301 @ grootblousmile:
This was a thrashing. Awesome cricket. Don’t get much better than that. Absolutely brilliant batting and bowling.
305 @ Puma:
Yip… they will.
What worries me though is the form of Morné Steyn, Francois Hougaard, Werner Kruger & Dean Greyling.
Lots of exciting Bulls youngsters coming through though… and some good youngsters joining the Bulls at the end of the season.
306 @ Puma:
We are an impatient lot, us South Africans.. we expect a win every time… in every sport.
Very bloody competative… then sometimes we just choke…
282 @ grootblousmile:
Sounds great. Enjoy it boeta. Always great to get away for a weekend. So many great places in our country to do that.
Will you get any of the rugby there? Hope so.
309 @ Puma:
Certainly hope I do…. otherwise I might just have to travel some distance to find a Sports Pub…. hahaha
308 Gbs,
Yeah agree we must be one of the most competitive nations on earth when it comes to sport. Always want to win at everything no matter what….haha.
We are damn good at most sports so could be the reason.
Just hope SA cricket don’t pull a South African cricket in the next two where they fall apart like usual
307 @ grootblousmile:
I persoanlly think Morne needs a total rest from rugby. He should be allowed to take 2 weeks off from here. My advice to him would be not to even put on the tv to watch it. Sometimes the mind just gets overloaded and it needs a rest. He has not stopped for a proper rest for almost 2 years now. Body and mind needs a break and it will always come back stronger. Also plenty of his team mates that were Boks have left and Bulls are rebuilding and it can be tough.
311 @ Puma:
We could be even better though… if everybody pulled in the same direction and there was some clever chaps running some of the shows.
Government is also missing a massive opportunity to improve international esteem and respect towards our country, by not investing better and more into Key Sports!
He doesn’t need a rest just a forward pack that is not getting a hiding.
310 @ grootblousmile:
Hope you get to see the big derby gbs. Going to be a hard battle for sure, for both sides.
315 @ Spooony:
He does need a rest. Morne has been playing just about non-stop rugby for almost 2 years. NO rugby player no matter what can keep that intensity up, not even if his forwards were playing better.
Off to the Shops for me… need some Kameeltjies, Orange Juice, Condensed Milk, Sweets… and a Toilet Brush set for BonzaiGBS’s on-suite bathroom.
He could be a bit toxic at times…. haha
314 @ grootblousmile:
Yeah for sure.
Had to chuckle when Smith said congrats to Ernie after he was interviewed. Atherton had a laugh too. Well done to Smith for doing that.
318 @ grootblousmile:
Cheers gbs, I am also out of there. Going to eat dinner now.
@ Puma:
2 Years non stop? The WC ended when? Super Rugby started when? His one wonderful Bulls pack is not there anymore. You could clearly see it in that first half. As the Bulls forwards improved so did his options. No 10 in the world shines behind a losing pack.
Well done to your boys, successs at the Oval!
Now, I see it has put you all in a lovely bright mood!! 🙂
