@ grootblousmile:
This is really embarrassing to say the least…
AB gone as well, bye bye Lone Ranger.
Johnson’s bowling this test must rate as one of the best performances I’ve ever watched from one individual bowler
@ grootblousmile:
It is like chalk and cheese…
They are all over us like a rash…
I swear they are playing on two different pitches… 🙂
OK, now i’ve chowed a heap of Driehoekie-koe… er-Charra-koekies… and the buggers were hot, made me even thirstier than I was!
Samooosa thirst, I tell ya!
170 for eight…
Vernon closed his eyes and cracked the bat…

You know who Johnson reminds me of lately?
The undocumented member of the Village People who dressed like a cricketer
Maybe when SA Cricket sold out to the big 3 they were instructed to show their loyalty by not being allowed to play properly when facing Aus, Eng and India
@ nortierd:
Fern? 😆
@ nortierd:
… and get relegated to the second tier with Scotland, Netherlands and Zimbabwe… At least we might win a game there…
Dale Steyn goes too…
Will be all over before Super Rugby starts, maybe even before the TV previews of the 1st game starts…
SA 178 / 9
Steyn giving catching practice… only Matthew Hayden left… Oops I mean Matthew Morkel… 😆

Ha ha ha, Fern doing the YMCA, that will be a sight….dearestfuck
@ Gumboots:
Rye predicted that Morkel will get a hundred
I think the score could have been ten times worse if the Ozzies didn’t give away so many byes and wides… We only losing by about 300…
@ nortierd:
Bless his sole… a hundred laps around the park yes… I would give it to the whole team…
31-0 to the Stormers after 20 minutes
@ nortierd:
Waar kry jy die?

Where do you get the scores?
Gummi, the Stormers Facebook page, they give updates on the score
Mattie Morkel on strike…
Morkel runs himself out…
It’s all over!
Dumb donkey… Mattie the turtle tosser…
What a dumbfukc

Game set and match Australia…
Congrats to the Ozzies… They came with a plan and implemented it according to the script. They were prepared and showed the attitude to win the game.
A lot of hard work lies ahead. We need to get rid of the baggage in the team and select the form players…
Daar besluit Morkel nou fok dit. fok almal. hy will nou gaan stort en rugby kyk.
@ MacroBull:
If your batters cannot do the job, you can’t expect your jack to do it… He doubled his highest score in the past couple of matches… So he is feeling kiff…
Outplayed in EVERY aspect of the game… not flattering at all!
