I make too many typos… 🙄
tradtional – traditional
54 @ grootblousmile:
Yeah thats right GBS thats where Shetland ponies originate, they had to adapt on only have short legs otherwise they would have been blown over to often
55 @ Just For Kicks:
You guys lucky you didn’t get much, seems to have been worst in the northeast up here and also in the southwest of England. You will get a good bit of rain tomorrow at least it won’t come with much wind though.
62 @ Bullscot:
The wind up there is unreal have to say…. 🙂
Fokkit, MAAK hulle nou eers gloeilampies vir daai ligte?
I hate wind.. it blows my mop of hair heel deurmekaar… hahaha
I could do with some food now…. feels like my poepstring has been cut off…
Match reduced to 19 overs…. eish
Freegin hell, they were off so long that Faf and Miller will have to play themselves in again…
Well Faf does so on the 2nd ball… 4… and he goes to 52
Another 4 from Faf… damn he’s been a revelation!
64 @ Puma:
Hi Puma yes its been particularly bad this last week and still really tough there at moment temperature only two with rain, sleet, sea spray and winds near 100km/hr. But I’d still really like to go up there someday, but maybe in the summer where it would be lovely to have almost no darkness overnight. Lucky for them it sounds like the ferry is leaving from here tonight, I wouldn’t like to be on that one as although its getting better its still going to be a rough trip.
12 from the 17th over
Ahh missed them starting again, have they reduced the over GBS? I read that there was problem with lights going out in T20 game in East London in January so why do they get another one?
73 @ Bullscot:
Reduced to 19 overs a side
Glad to see Faf doing well at international level from the tour of Australia, was just a bit concerned during the tour that he wasn’t quite making the grade at international level, so glad he is proving me wrong.
SA 144 / 2 with 11 balls to go
150 up for SA, 8 balls to go
155 / 2 after 18 overs… 6 balls to go, as we lose one over due to the power failure
160 / 2, still 5 balls to go
Miller persihes on 33
SA 160 / 3, 4 balls to go
Miller and Faf put on some good runs before Millars slog. Going to be a tough chase.
Faf du Plessis perishes on 63
…..and now Faf goes
74 @ grootblousmile:
Ok thanks GBS time to go, hope its a good win for SA enjoy rest of game cheers vir eers
82 @ Just For Kicks:
Enjoy the chase cheers JFK
2 Balls to go.. come give us 2 fours… instead Petersen goes for a duck
@ Bullscot:Cheers, Bully, Happy Christmas, if I don’t see you before. I am also out in a minute. Peterson goes too.
SA 161 / 5… last ball to come
4 off the last ball.
SA 165 / 5 after their 19 overs
