    Sorry to hear that Super, hope you much better today boet.

    Well today we missed nothing with all the rain there. Not a great time for cricket there I feel. I have been to Brisbane a few times in October and November and the weather there is similar to Durbs this time of year, they get plenty rain.

    We were in a really good lead as well, was just a bit worried that we lost Duminy to injury, leaving us a batsman and bowler short. Going to be interesting when they start tomorrow, remember we still to face the new ball.

    What does Kelly Clarksen sing, What doesnt kill you makes you stronger.

    My wife thinks this is a ploy to get under the 100kg mark, must say i am hungry and will catch up asap.

    Make sure you drink plenty fluids Super, keep hydrated. Get some probiotics, or Hydrachoice, its a probitioc/hydration drink that puts everything back that your body is losing right now. Most important to put the electrolites back. If it continues see your gp boet. Us runners know these things… 🙂 Used to get it all the time back then.

    Well done on losing the weight boet, always a very good thing no matter how you have lost it. Healther to be closer to your goal weight.

    Anyhow how you see our cricket going this series? We were in a very good position yesterday and today the rain has leveled it also with us losing Duminy, as you know we now a batsmand and bowler short.

  • 34

    32 @ superBul:
    I meant congrats on losing the weight before your illness now. I read a few weeks back here you said you lost 25 or more kilos. So keep it up. You must feel better for it.

    35 @ Sharks_forever:
