babse Posted December 13, 2018 Share the bowler was rory kleinveldt, who I think was signed without being seen. He has spent the winter in england, but it looks like the pie shop at northants is now empty. probaby the most out of shape sportsman since john daly https://youtu.be/j1x5Jw8x9ZM?list=UUJTXYWzeU_DykVAan95qtKg&t=929Even when Rory was "fit" he was still out of shape.

Shebeen Posted December 13, 2018 Share Even when Rory was "fit" he was still out of shape. Thank goodness cobras got rid of him and Levitwo things, don't think the cobras have actually got rid of him. It was a freemarket for the MSL secondly, Levi is a quality T20 opener. he either comes off or he doesn't no f@#$ing around. I'm surprised he hasn't been more of a journeyman with all the T20 leagues around (so maybe i'm totally wrong) thirdly. and with these two, things will expandthey actually play together in the UK http://www1.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Rory+Kleinveldt+Northamptonshire+v+Kent+Specsavers+yCG6nz7fsikl.jpg there MUST be a pub there that has a 2 for 1 pie and mash with strongbow special.

babse Posted December 13, 2018 Share IMO Levi is very far away from quality. He is so 1 dimensional. Any half decent bowler knows they need to keep the ball off his pads and he definitely wont last long. That wonder knock in NZ many moons ago was a great lesson on how not to bowl to Levi. He has struggled with any sort of consistency since then and im sure there of many club level openers with a better game all round game than Levi.

mon-goose Posted December 13, 2018 Share rory has been run out a few times i think because he's so freaking huge, for a professional cricket player, can't believe his teams have allowed him to get like that. But then he started bowling and he bowled really well. But not excuse for being so over weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLuvsMtb Posted December 13, 2018 Share I have been to 2 games at newlands, and got my tix for the final booked.Although it isn't really that different to the RAM SLAM T20, it does seem to have worked. ... the bowler was rory kleinveldt, who I think was signed without being seen. He has spent the winter in england, but it looks like the pie shop at northants is now empty. probaby the most out of shape sportsman since john daly https://youtu.be/j1x5Jw8x9ZM?list=UUJTXYWzeU_DykVAan95qtKg&t=929I was skeptical about SABC covering the MSL, but they stepped up nicely. Full coverage for all the matches! DSTV could not get that right with the Ram Slam or any of the previous versions of it. Interesting that the MSL franchises are owned by Cricket South Africa, so lets see what their financials look like at year end. A few overweight players:KleynveldThe VernFraailink It was great seeing some international players coming out to play, just a pity Gayle went home with his mom passing away. I would have liked to see more stats during the broadcast, but seeing that the broadcast was aimed at a different demographic, I can overlook this for now.

Big questionDoes he have the longevity and desire for the magical 500?I think 500 is definitely Dale's aim. If he can stay fit and keep getting his wickets at his incredible strike rate then it should be a big possibility for him to get there. He is an incredible class act.

Mntboy Posted December 26, 2018 Share Doubt if Dale will be chosen for the team for the 20 tests he still needs to achieve that milestoneBased on what evidence? Surely at the very least Dale deserves this series to show that he still is the class act we all know him to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
