OK, so I’ve woken from my Christmas and pre-Christmas slumber.
I have not put up a Christmas Greetings video… why… because I’ve been plain bone idle.
Will put up a combined Christmas and Newyear’s Video message when I get time.
Who’s joining me for the Cricket today?
Blomme won the toss… and chose to bat first
Is Graham Smith out yet?
Hello GBS? Did you have a good Xmas?
4 @ Loosehead:
Yes thanks Loskoppie… and you and yours?
5 @ grootblousmile: yeah,good thanks. I got a kindle.
Going to braai some steak later.
Hello all trust you all had a good Christmas, GO PROTEAS!
I see Levi has been left out, also no Steyn.
SA Team: H Davids, F du Plessis*, Q de Kock†, F Behardien, DA Miller, RJ Peterson, JL Ontong, R McLaren, RK Kleinveldt, AM Phangiso, M Morkel – so Davids and Faf to open according to that
Anthems done and dusted
Hello Muppets , hehehe hope everyone had a great Xmas day.
Now for some cricket and lets hope out team has fixed the problem area’s
OK, we’re A for away… and a shout for LBW in the 1st over… turned down
O donner… Faf bowled…
SA 2 / 1 after 1.5 overs
dagse Rudi onse Burgermeeater van BakkenjanPan 😆
Faf goes early. Jeez it looks tough out there for batting. Why they play a T20 in PE??? A pitch suited for spinners. Not going to see the 6’s and 4’s out there, which most of the crowd come to see no doubt.
14 @ Sharks_forever:
Hello Tjarkie.
By the way, I put your Looseforwards Article back on Draft, all the Locks articles not done yet.
9 @ Bullscot:
Hello Bully!
15 @ Puma:
Hello Oompie!
@ grootblousmile:
I saw bro no problem
2nd Wicket down… Quinton de Kock goes
Both Wickets to fall due to seriously stupid shots, hell they should have a little look first
We are struggling to make runs, this is not good as we need to make atleast 150 runs
SA 63 / 2 after 10 overs
SA 113 / 2 after 14.3 overs
Ontong & Davids doing stellar work now
Ontong persihes on 48 off 30 balls
SA 115 / 3 after 14.5 overs
Wonder how much will be enough here? 140 or more? They chased us down well the other night.
Little Davids now the one to see to it that SA gets a decent total…
I think if we get around 175 we should be OK’ish…
SA 131 / 3 after 16 overs….
4 overs (24 balls) to go in the innings
Come on fellas.. post a handsome total for us, please
Henry Davids persihes on 68
SA 135 / 4 after 16.3 overs
