I drink at least two bottle loading the bike on the car - its hard work

I use one of these ... all in one

I cant afford two bikes, spend all my money on GU products

Bwhahahahaahahahah - I thought the radio was the give away Not quite Swiss humour

Needless to say he got out to a part time spinner ....

I think De Lange got injured and hasn't quite returned to that form, don't know how KA was released from the squad after his one and only test and taking 9 wickets for 80 odd I think

I use a camel back - you can carry over 3l's of water and then I take 2 multi tools (in case on breaks), 3 spare tubes, 4 bombs, hand pump (incase I have more than 4 punctures), I also have a small radio in their so I can pick up radio algoa as it gets lonely right at the back. I also carry a spare shirt and windbreaker as well as spare sweat band in case its really hot.

Wasn't an attack on your opinion, just shared mine. Well the last game had as much pressure for SA as the 'decider'. In fact more so given the fact now that we know Mitch is not as unplayable as people inferred. Regardless if QdK plays I think Elgar has played himself into that opening slot. Why move him? He has showed a lot more temperament than AP and I also like the fact that we are being bolder with team selection than we have in the past where players seldom got dropped for performing badly.

Lol

Another plus is KA is a better bat than RK

Fixed I know you aren't a fan but if you look at the bigger picture im sure you will agree, the exposure he is getting is second to none. If they win it would only bode well to create a winning mindset in the young man. I don't see AP in the team beyond next year tbh - to many good players knocking on the door

It was not the lose, but the manner of the loss. Does not bode well unless it was a total brain fart. If they lose this week they wont make the playoffs

Im hoping it is the kick up the nought these guys need to get going!

Agreed but I think TT is an ok provincial player imo and I havent seem much of Rory lately to make him more deserving that KA or BH for the test squad.

Exactly what I was referring to - outside guys leap frogging Thami and Rory Sends the wrong signals imo

I hope he plays but don't think the team/squad is on merit ... Thami and Rory are there ahead of KA/QdK/SvZ/BH ect.

This guy should already be in the team or at least in the squad http://www.sport24.co.za/Cricket/AustraliaTourSA/Proteas-call-up-Kyle-Abbott-20140224

There are a number of good local guys, who I would gladly pay as the photos are excellent but ActionPhoto not so much. The are not even a local company as far as a I know and off all the events they have covered that I entered I can only recall one good photo. These guys are great and I would pay http://i74141.wix.com/capcha-photography http://www.chrishitchcock.co.za/

Nail, head Often a bowler will let the Captain down, yet the captain will get the stick (and credit). In all honesty I would accept Smith averaging 20 - if SA won all those matches.

I don't know which other countries would treat their captain this way. Dhoni has lost something like 12 of his last 13 away tests and doesn't receive this criticism. They just got destroyed by NZ yet he is still the highest paid player in the world. When Aus were 125/0 going at over 4 an over most fans were probably thinking they might get that (I was) and then they complain Smith declared to earlier, if it had rained on Monday, he would have declared to late. He in fact got it perfectly right but still gets criticized. Ridiculous One also should bare in mind he got to 6000 runs faster than Amla and to 7000 faster than AB, Kallis and even the current Aus captain, Clarke.

First round bye is a killer, Lions had momentum and confidence .... Stormers will bounce back but perhaps a new team at the bottom of the SA log.

Im sure he doesn't hold back - anything interesting?

There is a spot under my jeep ... we have discussed this before

I thought shaded cars were your only requirement

OMG this is never ending. Well done on keeping your cool and glad you are ok!
