Forward pass by the Lions… just
@ JanMurrayBok: Problem with Levi, is his role is just to plunder, so he does unfortunately go cheaply fairly often, but when his eye is in, he will single handedly obliterate any bowling attack. Very Lance Klusener like, but at the top of the order
27 @ JanMurrayBok:
meant to be county not country t20 finals day
Tryyyyyyyyyy Ruan Snyman!
Heeeee haaaaa
Pragtoge drie vir Bulls
HM would be upset with all that passing without kicking.
As I say that Levi goes without troubling the scoreboard further, SA 11/1
Blue Bulls 5 / 3 Lions
Bulls looking much better this week
….and the Lions just look kakker!!!!
Blue Bulls penalty… easy one
Great pressure
SA now 14/2 as Faf departs for 3. LBW Finn
Blue Bulls 8 / 3 Lions
37 @ Just For Kicks:
Oh dear so Levi didn’t come off again, you have to have some quality to add to the ‘moering’ ability at international level.
Blue Bulls so far with more possession… and seemingly good defence.
Lions making the unforced errors
44 @ JanMurrayBok:Yup, always the problem with sloggers – when the opposition work you out, you become a liability. I think that Levi is better than that, but sometimes ‘licence to hit’ doesn’t always lose your head a la Herschell Gibbs!
Eish Faf been struggling lately thats a pity, with England’s low score and now two out already for SA is it a tough wicket to bat on?
Come on Bull add at least another 3 tries in time am away, I know its bad but as sun is shining the grass must get cut
15 runs off the 4th over so far, still a ball to come. Then de Villiers nicks one through to Kieswetter. Damn and Blast!!! SA 29/3. Eng can feel right back in this one now.
Oh no AB out, maybe a good time to be outside and missing it
Is Graham Smith out yet?
Ruan Snyman much crisper with his service so far
@ JanMurrayBok:You need that young man of yours to grow up quickly!!!!
Ndungane having a good game
Oupa Aikona is a maestro in the air….
Aikona down injured
Aikona up and running….
Elton Jantjies also down, now up again
AB plays one shot too many and we’re three down.
Come on Bulls… apply the pressure!
Not the most exciting game this.
