Morning all! Looking forward to seeing our bowling attack (hopefully) destroying these Pakis!
😀
Dale takes the first wicket, excellent ball
@ Stormersboy:
Good morning old geezer
damn I am talking to myself again lol
will come back laters..
@ Sharks_forever:
More Oom. How’s Zululand today?
Did anyone notice that javelin thrower in the Pakistan team which they call a spinner?
Helloooooooooooooo
Good to see that the Blomme has struck 3 times, early in the day.
Pakistan score shows just how hard it was for our lads yesterday
Typical Wanderers pitch – ever deceiving!
I suppose I better build some Live Game Articles for an afternoon and early evening of glorious rugby.
Bloody hell, it’s about time that the rugby season proper starts!
So, we have 2 Super Rugby warm-up matches (Bulls vs Lions at Orlando at 15:00 and Cheetahs vs Stormers at 17:05) – SuperSport 1
We also have 2 Six Nations Matches today and one tomorrow (Wales vs Ireland at 15:30 SA Time and England vs Scotland at 18:00 SA Time) – SuperSport 6 and SHD4
I am looking for a candidate who will do the 2 Six Nations matches for us as the Live Scoring Articles, whilst I attend to the 2 SA Super Rugby warm-up matches Live Game Articles. Unfortunately both sets of games happen at the same time.
Kickers? Tjarkie_Fornever? Anybody?
@ grootblousmile:No problem, problem is I am a couple of minutes behind live coverage, watching on VIPBox, but if thats not a problem, I will do it
Great bowling by Morne.
71 @ Just For Kicks:
100% Brother, VIPBox is only about 30 seconds behind, so it’s not critical.
Will appreciate if you could do the 2 Six nations Live Game Articles for us.
Much appreciated!
SteynRemover on fire! I thought Newlands pitch and the 45 all outs is only coming in the 2nd test
What a good start to the day by SA, great stuff, maybe it would have been even better to have let Morkel have a go at the start as well with his pace and extra bounce on this wicket could have made it even more uncomfortable for Pakistan.
71 @ Just For Kicks:
Hi JFK, the games will be broadcast on BBC one so may be easier for you to follow live rather than delay there, although if you use their iplayer am not sure if there is any delay.
Hi Bully, Thanks Bully, I will watch them on BBC1 then. If I miss anything – I will be watching both sides of the equator today, I trust you will put me right – or are you working?
@ Bullscot:Saw your comment yesterday, snow was awesome for the kids, had great fun, and certainly got it out of there systems!
Phweeeew, Pakistan 37 / 5 after 21.1 overs
Come on Blomme take another before Lunch!
Another wicket falls…
Pakistan 39 / 6 after 22.1 overs
Now we have them on the ropes!
Philander strikes again in the same over!
Pakistan 39 / 7
Whoop, whoop!
Pakistan need 15 runs to avoid the follow-on
Take the dogs for a walk, come back to find 4 wickets gone. Hell, it’s time the dogs just got fat!
@ Just For Kicks:
Good man, unfortunately will be busy at work that time so unless I can time my break to coincide with the game at Twickenham will be tough especially for the latter half of the game which doubt will catch at all so getting it in early GO SCOTLAND!!! Thats grand you all enjoyed the snow, may be some more coming in new week but not promising anything at this stage, we got a wee covering of snow but now sun is shining and it looks really nice with the blue skies and snow on the ground.
@ Just For Kicks:
wtf
OK fellas, the 4 Live game Rugby Articles are up or have been scheduled to come up automatically.
Wonderful to host 5 Live Game events today, the Cricket and 4 Rugby matches!
Rugby is BACK!
SA have a very slow overrate, only 23 overs this morning.
87 @ dWeePer:
Did it take THAT long for 7 Batsmen to go out and the new guys to walk in?
Hehehe
Whoop, Whoop!
Dale Steyn takes another… fabulous catch behind by AB de Villiers!
Pakistan 40 / 8
Dale Steyn strikes again
Pakistan 41 / 9
Can we make them follow-on?
