  1. Seems CA knew about his tollie-gate when they appointed him after Sandpapergate. ????
  2. Indeed ????
  3. It took us way too long to chase down 84 runs against Bangladesh. So no, not quite unlucky. In this format it was always going to come down to NRR, unless you go unbeaten.
  4. NZ need to lose to either Afghanistan or Namibia for India to stand a chance of advancing… ????????????
  5. It is almost certain that we will have to klap the Poms properly in order to stand a chance of finishing in the top 2.
  6. nothing, I repeat, NOTHING will give me greater pleasure than seeing India not qualify for the semi's... (well, maybe some things, but that is R rated and this is a family show )
  7. Temba deserves credit for sure, I pity any captain that has to sit in a post-match conference and field questions about his employer in stead of his team’s performance on the day. He showed great leadership indeed. I hope he can start converting all of his 40-49 scores into 50+, for his own confidence and also for the sake the team. Playing with freedom could be our biggest advantage.
  8. I still opine that the whole debacle was an effort to try and divert attention from the revelations at the SJN hearings. CSA is a shambles and they know it.
  9. I want to disagree but facts are preventing me from doing so...
  10. People are taught to hate. Its sad when you try your charm on the females of the species and they refer to you as ‘oom’. I guess that also makes me an outoppie then ????????
  11. Yes. But it should not. In my street there are laaities of 3 different ethnic backgrounds, when I see them play “straat krieket” there are no issues. If they can, why cant adults?
  12. If you give an idiot the right platform, he/they will make all the noise they can. A World Cup is the right platform and CSA knows that. The board keeps chopping and changing but the same people seem to stay involved because the policies dont seem to change. Im not privy to inside info but I look at the actions of the board and that speaks volumes. Being white in this day and age automatically disqualifies you of having any opinion other than what the mainstream is trying to force down your throat. YES, it seems like QdK could/should have dealt with the current issue a hellava lot better, specially since the team have purportedly been having discussions around the issue for a while. I hate talking about race issues because we have been a democracy for a long time and that time could/should have been used a whole lot better if the right people with the right motivation were given the appropriate decision making powers. This applies all the way to the top of government. I dont know, like someone said in that thread about the idiot walking in front of the cyclist right at the finish line, surely in 30 years time we will look back and say WTF was going on in 2021. In 1995 we saw the first children of colour introduced into our high school. You had to unlearn the f-up teachings of conservative parenthood or your world turned to sh-t pretty quickly. This is 26 years ago. A lot of us here played club sport over the years and that was always the great leveller, adapt or die. This is just so disappointing. We are a strong sporting nation with talent across the entire spectrum. Get it right FFS, this is sport, it should bring us closer together, not create bigger divisions.
  13. Sadly, thats exactly why guys will say F it, and become free agents. But can we blame them?
  14. QdK will be cancelled shortly, mark my words. @TNT1 I am sure in 30 years time the people of 2051 will look back at the people of 2021 and think WTF was going with that lot???
  15. I think CSA is trying to deflect unwanted attention from the revelations going on at the SJN hearings, specifically when their poster-boys are being caught with their "feets in their mouths".
  16. I have friends in the mid to late 40's that are far worse than teenagers when it comes to being on their phone. and sometimes it is in conversation, I am starting to develop a hard rule over this type of behavior, which means my circle is getting smaller in stead of bigger. Quality over quantity I guess - I'm ok with that.
  17. if you throw out mom with the kennel then you win all the way.
  18. and nor should he or anyone else be forced to.
  19. probably, but common sense shouldn't require policing.
  20. jip. I choose to be Neo though, not Mr Andersen.
  21. https://www.news24.com/sport/cricket/proteas/2015-match-fixer-jean-symes-criminally-charged-says-anti-corruption-chief-20211025 vat so pappie.
  22. but that's what we see on the roads/streets everyday, and more often than not the moron is behind the wheel of a car.
  23. https://www.news24.com/sport/cricket/revealed-lead-investigator-shows-explosive-unprecedented-video-detailing-2015-match-fixing-scheme-20211026 ag shame... I thought Tsolekile was innocent... justice is a dish best served cold.
  24. Every once in a while I'll pop to my local coffee shop for breakfast just for some variety (home office bleh), and I sit there without my phone and look at people; it is quite shocking to see the Matrix was more than just a movie...
