the problem with Kallis was his inability to up the tempo! increase the run rate, to dominate for long periods of a game. Many sides in WC adopted the theory of playing around him. 4 sessions of the worlds top baters would put them on 200 scoring an average of 40 to 50 a session, kallis in the same time would be on 140, this also explains the very few double hundreds he scored. Not the type of player that put bums in seats, the problem was SA didnt have many other players that had a natural game that scored at 3+ an over until now. its not that T20 has helped players develop this skill, u either a defensive batsmen or attacking in the way u play the game.Viv, Lara, bothem, hayden, slater. the best test sides in history have created time in games by scoring at 3/4 runs an over. A good day for the old SA team in the middle would put us on 270, meaning over 2 or 3 days you lose a whole session.

paid 13k for my brothers last year, complete bike. 105 groupset

This test with zim is a joke, that's the problem with cricket/rugby to few top teams. U wanna see the best vs the best not a rape..

Froom video on YouTube worth a watch, if u gonna copy someone may aswell be the best.

Standing is fine, u will get more out of ur legs by staying in the saddle in the longer climbs try engage the glutes more(lean forward while seated) use the standing more as a chance to give the muscles a brake as a different set of muscles come into play when u stand. See what feels comfortable, I use the standing position to increase my effort or up the tempo, I spend about 90% of the ride in the saddle.

The Titan is a good first bike, look at Momsen aswell both are well priced. If u gonna do marathon type riding I would go with 29er.

Much like the service cost on the "brain"

Does the pic of the spez have to be next to the BMW?

5pm to early for me..

where is it?

yeah get a raise at work, riding them MTB is not cheap.. tell the boss.

if we dont get onto this is gonna spread country wide.

Was going to put him in, was thinking most would think im crazy.

think our best SA side would not include a spinner, lets face it they have all been useless, I would go with 4 seamers, Donald, stein, Fanie and Pringle.

yeah but Pointing wasnt a good captain at all, the thing about steve waugh was he got stuck in and made runs when it mattered, I also considered BMT and Waugh personifies that.I always got the feeling he wasn't going to give his wicket away against us. I loved to hate him... SR Waugh (Aus) 1985-2004 168 260 10927 200 51.06 32 50 22

akram was the left, younis was the right hander with 9 fingers.

have u ever seen better bowler with a ball that is 60 overs old Akram and Younis could get it to reverse like crazy.

but a great spinner, would put him in for the tours of the sub continent.

My world 11, can old be players i have watched play. D Haynes M Hayden R Pointing S Tendulkar B Lara S Waugh CPT A Gilchrist S Warne W Akram G Mcgrath C Ambrose 12 man M Muralitharan the other that almost got in I Khan A Donald J Kallis K Sangakkara A Flower W Younis Tear it apart guys..

U can't compare the 2, tendulkar and Lara are from another planet, they much like pointing could counter attack, they could win a test in 2 seasons on any surface, Kalllis and Dravid are the long distance runners they need 5 seasons to hurt a team. Just look at the big hundreds that the first 3 have, different types of player but if u only had 1 slot left in ur Sunday team the first 3 on my list would fill it. Aus 16 years of world cricket domination was done without a single allrounder. 6 batters, including a wicket keeper who could bat and 5 bowlers. Probably the best side I've ever seen play.

is this for real? u wanna sell XTR groupie and get a 26er dual sus?

If any of u could get you're eyes off the men, any chance u got the name of the little town with the church on top of the hill? U can PM the name...

dont know if i can handle the pressure coming up on 1000 posts...

asking questions is a sign of intelligence! or a lack there of.

ok so what have i learnt from all of this. 1\ i cant take my cats for a walk on the spruit. 2\the spruit is like a Brazilian, I small green strip across the leafy jhb suburbs. 3\thank **** i dont have to ride it, its all free down my side of town, without the thousand of other riders, dog walkers and agro strava crew.
