See you guys a bit later, going out for about an hour.
117 @ Cheetah4eva:
Thanks buddy and the same to you as well.
@ Just For Kicks:
Exactly, look take nothing away from the bowlers till now, very good bowling this morning, but most of those witckets were poor shot making or selection
POllock just said pretty much exactly what I have said
A bit of good swing bowling, but it has not been good batting.
Fark, good thing I phoned first… Benoni Municipality is still closed… after they closed at 12:30 on 21 December 2012.
So, I stay here… and watch cricket….
126 @ grootblousmile:
Just as well you phoned boet. Would have been a trip for nothing.
Watching cricket is better though………… 🙂
OK, Lunch is over… come on Blomme!
2 quick 4’s to Petersen
Think if Duminy was on form and able to play?? instead of Elgar?
Damn, you would have 3 quickies and 3 spinners in the team lol, so called tail enders would be Steyn and Morkel, damn what strength at batting and bowling
classic example of what I was saying about the pitch etc earlier.
Amla hitting 4’s at will because he is getting behind the ball, and focused, when he played a poor shot, he nearly got out.
But you need to be patient and respect the new ball, something the Kiwi’s did not do, and Smith did not do,
OK I am now chatting to myself, catch up laters….
132 @ Sharks_forever:
I am here bro, just had to do something quick.
Now back to watching the cricket.
131 @ Sharks_forever:
You were right. Though Smith does do that quite often, pity as he is a excellent batsman.
Doubt they will bowl us all out, so wondering when we will declare? By how much should we be ahead? 500 or more? If we could bowl them out that quick do we need to go more than 500 or 550 to declare?
@ Puma:
KO, Welcome back, our boys playing well now, runs starting to flow
130 @ Sharks_forever:
Pity Duminy hurt himself against Oz? Think he is out for 6 months.
Pooms we need to 350 to win, that’s it
Newlands wicket wont change much, as for Smith, he always does poorly in the first test of a series and when he starts an innings he is very poor defensively, it is when he gets used to the wicket and has made some runs and gets in , then he is dangerous
@ Puma:
Yeah, we have an extremely strong team right now
Amla going at better than a run a ball right now, after that second 4. The man is a machine!
Have to say that is a really beautiful cricket ground have always thought that, with the mountain at the back. Day looks awesome there as well.
137 @ Sharks_forever:
So by tomorrow night we should declare, we should have enough by then.
Smith has always been like that once he is in he can go on to make a lot. Just getting past the first few overs is where he struggles sometimes. Amla though once in is there almost to stay the duration we are batting. What a brilliant batsman he has become, has to be one of our very best ever.
Yup Pooms, we can declare by at worst tomorrow lunch time, we should have around 450 then.
Geez SA going at >4.5 / over and Amla strike rate > 100.
142 @ Sharks_forever:
We should have that up by lunch tomorrow. Then somehow think we will bat until close tomorrow before we declare. Not that we need to of course.
143 @ Scrumdown:
Howzit bud, All the best for 2013.
Yip we doing really well out there. Amla is just superb.
@ Puma:
Agree 100%
Today and Tomorrow is sold out, but I may get some tickets to Saturday. It could be the final day of play…
144 @ Puma:
Hello Puma.
Same to all my Sharks supporting friends here on RT re the very best for 2013.
OK so event the Bulls, Stormers and Cheetahs supporters as well.
Hope it’s a great year for you all.
Has NZ cricket dropped to the level of Zim and Bangladesh? Seems like it.
146 @ Stormersboy:
Saturday it will be all over. Go on Friday bud before it finishes. Just can’t see this test on until Saturday.
146 @ Stormersboy:
Bwahahaha. You being optimistic?
My Swaer drove from Oudtshoorn to watch. Luckily he has tickets for all 5 days, but I fear he may not need them from Friday onwards.
