Just click the emoticons at the bottom near ‘submit comment’.
@ Sharks_forever:
O as dit n slang was sou ek nie die Stormers game gekyk het die naweek nie, dankie.
59 @ Sharks_forever:
Howzit my Shark brudda. What you think of our game for Saturday? Pleased we kept the same team as I like momentum in the early rounds. Just that we have no real clue about the Canes. Just hope we come away with a win, don’t care if we pick up the bonus point just need to win it.
58 @ Pietman:
Will have to get Ben for that and moer him goed…hehehe.
@ Puma:
Can’t wait bro, very happy with what JW is doing.
Players must also be very happy. @ Scrumsaam: Pleasure old chap lol
@ Puma: “Just need to win it” You sound like a Stormers coach at the moment.
@ Puma:
Hey pooms, rather ask yourself, “What would Lambie do?”

I think that the cricket, similar to the rugby, they won’t deviate too far from the contracted players. Bear in mind, many of those that have contracts are for the 20 over or 1 day teams only.
I wouldn’t expect too much change in the test squad
The new contracts run from May 1 to April 30 next year.
CSA contracted squad: Graeme Smith (Cape Cobras), AB de Villiers (Titans), Hashim Amla (Dolphins), Marchant de Lange (Titans), JP Duminy (Cape Cobras), Faf du Plessis (Titans), Dean Elgar (Chevrolet Knights), Imran Tahir (Highveld Lions), Colin Ingram (Warriors), Jacques Kallis (Cape Cobras), Rory Kleinveldt (Cape Cobras), Ryan McLaren (Knights), Morne Morkel (Titans), Wayne Parnell (Warriors), Alviro Petersen (Highveld Lions), Robin Peterson (Cape Cobras), Aaron Phangiso (Highveld Lions), Vernon Philander (Cape Cobras), Dale Steyn (Cape Cobras), Thami Tsolekile (Highveld Lions), Lonwabo Tsotsobe (Dolphins).
Good recovery so far by Dean and Faf.
@ Puma:
Yes, I thought as much!
Suggesting that you hurt your knee by stumbling over your favorite Lambie teddy bear, disgusting if you asked me, very disrespectful…
66 @ Scrumsaam:
hahahaha. Probably I do. Though it is important to win your home games, bonus point or not. So hoping for a win. One point will be enough for me. Just have to win. The kiwi sides are always dangerous so never know what to expect. There are some great players in this Canes side. Sharks defence has to be 100s for this game. Will be another hot and humid game. Hoping that might get to them… 🙂 Not sure when they arrived in SA as they never played last week so might have come early so the travel might not affect them either.
70 @ Pietman:
Ja I will get Ben when he logs on…
Lunch break, let me move over to my favorite comedy channel for a while, ‘Parliament today’.
@ MacroBull:
He will frown and think well ignore it, it is typical for things like that from a Bulls or Stormer supporter
68 @ nortierd:
I read on Graham Joffe’s website that Tsolikile hadn’t been awarded a new contract when they were announced recently.
Did he get it wrong?
Puma wrote:
The Canes suck and the Sharks rock……..come to think of it, all the other teams suck and only the Sharks rock.
All other fly halves suck and Lambie rocks
Sheryl Calder, John Smit, Jake White and Bissie rocks….everyone else sucks
You should win easily against the Hurricanes, they won’t be a serious challenge and will definitely not be in the running for top 6
Sharks by 15 plus, even with Jannie in the side
73 @ Pietman:
Bwahahaha.
I really enjoy watching Prime Ministers Questions from the UK House of Commons. Those okes are sharp.
Could you imagine our esteemed Prez in a pressure cooker situation like that? Old Butternutkop (as a “previously disadvantaged” engineer who works for one of my client caals our Prez) would have a coronary in 60 seconds.
@ nortierd:
Good points from both of you. I think it’s time to make a few of the older, settled players play for their places – drop them and give some of the youngsters a start.
Sharks_Forever – would you have AB or De Kock as your keeper?
47 @ Puma:
Yes Puma can never forget his triple century a few years ago at the Oval when SA hammered England, we need him to be back at his best, always a conundrum when you have such a star player how long do you leave them in the team while they underperforming?
@ Puma:
Yes kiwi’s sides are always dangerous, Hurricanes got quality backs but i think the Sharks & MR White will target their forwards for this game typical SA rugby.

My bad, how embarrassing, posted the 2013 squad, you are 100% correct
Here is the correct squad
CSA contracted players: Hashim Amla (Cape Cobras), Quinton de Kock (Highveld Lions), AB de Villiers (Titans), JP Duminy (Cape Cobras), Faf du Plessis (Titans), Imran Tahir (Highveld Lions), Rory Kleinveldt (Cape Cobras), Ryan McLaren (Knights), David Miller (Dolphins), Morne Morkel (Titans), Wayne Parnell (Warriors), Alviro Petersen (Highveld Lions), Robin Peterson (Cape Cobras), Vernon Philander (Cape Cobras), Graeme Smith (Cape Cobras), Dale Steyn (Cape Cobras), Lonwabo Tsotsobe (Highveld Lions)
South Africa 64 / 2 after 27 overs (Lunch Day 1)
From Sportsfire.co.za re the current test.
“Will Smith be next?
I just get the feeling Graeme Smith is going to call it a day on his test career after this series against Australia.
Smith has been fairly outspoken of late and the latest was his “dig” at CSA management for announcing the contracted list of players before the 2nd test against Australia, starting today in Port Elizabeth.
Smith quoted as saying:
“ It’s another curve ball that’s tough to deal with but we just have to find a way.”
And I have to agree with him.
No contracts for Dean Elgar and Thami Tsolekile, who are both in the current squad and Elgar is playing in this test.
Contracts for Quinton de Kock and David Miller, who many believe should have been in the current test squad.
So, CSA have got their timing wrong and it’s almost as if they are admitting the test selections were wrong as well.”
@ nortierd:
You busy losing it boet, I know a good Psychiatrist that specialisers in sarcasm and Chips on shoulder syndrome……
@ nortierd:
I was going to point this out to you earlier, but thought hey he is a Stormer, do not won’t to upset the poor fella more than he already is
81 @ nortierd:
Tsk tsk tsk. And now you expect us all to believe your statements re the Tjarks?
@ Scrumdown:
The Prez is scheduled to reply to comments on his speech in an hour or so, should be good, I am about to start my braai in the kitchen kaggel, lekker boerewors met mieliepap and hot sheeba sauce and a cold Hansa or two, should go down well with with the show down in Plein Street House…..
@ Scrumdown:
haha all they would need to ask our prez to say the GDP out loud.

I need it boet, Fern is popping round early on Saturday morning( dearestfuck TM)…breakfast braai, then later Atlas is coming through later
So I have a Shark in the morning and a Bull in the evening braaing….lekker naweek, lekker mense, lekker rugby
But sarcasm is needed when dealing with Fern, so I’m using you as a practice board
@ Scrumdown:
Cricket has become SA’s big political ball and it will only get worse and worse.
Rugby will be next, mark my words, and remember that does not only count for players but in all parts of the game.
