@ nortierd:
Weet nie of jy naby Petit is nie, ek het lekker tye daar deurgebring saam met my ou pel Ben Hoffeldt wat destyds die Petit Apteek daar gehad het.

Moet seker naby wees, ons vat die Pomona afdraai, en ek het gesien daar is Petit ook op die bord, so moet naby wees
@ nortierd:
Dis net hy, Pomona afrit….lekker wereld daai.Ek het sommer altyd agterlangs gery oor Babsfontein, oppie Delmas pad, vanaf Waterkloof Glen waar ek gewoon het.
329 @ nortierd:
Pasop, daar is ‘n dippie in die pad, net na Brentwood Park Laerskool as mens Benoni se kant toe ry, so 200m verby die skool aan Benoni se kant.
Mens sien nie die dippie met die blote oog nie, en die water gaan staan daar as dit reen… my BMW het daar op die water geskaats en toe getol en ‘n boom gesoek om liefderik te omarm, soos ‘n piesang!
Ek het so êrens tussen 120 en 140 km/h gedoen, wat nogal stadig vir my is… maar nouja, dis ‘n 80 km/h zone….
@ Pietman:
Dagse pieta
Should have reviewed – could be costly
Again poor captaincy from Smith
@ grootblousmile:
And still Kickers wants to appoint you as our driver at WC2015….hoop daar is nie dippies en boompies op daai paaie op moddereiland nie…
Miller also again in the runs for the Dolphins, he is currently 69n/o
and duminy now drops an easy catch, eish quite shocking really
@ Sharks_forever:
Marrag swaer Haai.Umjani madotha? Of is dit madalha?
Eish, there’s been some awful handling/fielding by the Protea’s again this match. Thats 2 very simple catches missed
338 @ Pietman:
Mos gesê julle wil vir wolf skaapwagter maak!
Ek laat julle almal indemnity vorms teken… ek sê jou!
3 dropped catches in this innings plus a review not taken when it was clearly out
338 @ Pietman:HAHAHAHA, very good point – GBS, you’re off the hook, we’re catching a taxi!!!
Aussie 112 / 4 at Stumps – Day 2
Kangaroo Bangers should have been 112/8, Proteas will drive me to drink
@ Just For Kicks:
Ja, beter so…ons vat liewer n Black Meraai as n black BMW met GBS agter die wiel.
Generally a very good day for the Proteas, but, some awful simple errors. Great bowling – though, bowlers must feel gutted.
Yup, even I’m beginning to wonder what Smith is on – ever since he picked up his Irish passport, his mind seems to have been on Poitin. He just doesn’t seem to be in the match at all.
347 @ Pietman:
Goed, dan drink ek mos ook saam…. en ek en jy en Kickers het mos al lekker saam gedrink!
@ grootblousmile:
Ja, lekker agter in swart Morris taxi, veilig, kan ons rustig drink en die Pommies spuug deur die venster!
Catch you all in an hour or so.
@ Just For Kicks:
See you at the rugby Bulls/Cheetahs.
