Mntboy Posted January 27, 2020 Share And I literally just finished typing this, and then: Faf, you can faf off now!!!!!! WStokes to du Plessis, OUT,F du Plessis b Stokes 35 (92b 5x4 0x6) SR: 38.04Nah, it's because he you cursed him with your previous comment. [emoji14][emoji14][emoji14] Yes I am joking if it's not quite clear. As for the match state: I hope we can maintain the positive attitude that the batsmen have shown and that we can take the match deep into the final day.

Vetplant Posted January 27, 2020 Share We were looking quite decent, but alas, downward from here... Would love it if the guys now show some resolve and play for their place in the squad, even if the result is inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WStokes to du Plessis, OUT,F du Plessis b Stokes 35 (92b 5x4 0x6) SR: 38.04It will be disappointing if he leaves the scene with this mediocre set of performances behind him.. He is worthy of so much more. I'll never forget the scene of Gary Kirsten walking off the pitch after his final innings, openly overcome with emotion, with the whole field and crowd applauding him.... That is how you are meant to retire Long Wheel Base, Vetplant, gemmerbal and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeubok Posted January 27, 2020 Share So, the commentator on espn cricinfo has twice called Bavuma "the man in form". One decent first class score hardly maketh a man in form, but let's see what he can do. Looks good so far with 14 from 22. gemmerbal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted January 27, 2020 Share 48/6 off the final 10, coudn't even try and sneak the score above 300.I think they had a gentleman's agreement to go play golf together tomorrow. there was some proper needle with Faf/Broad - don't think it was Faf's fault at all, stubborn resistance was upsetting the poms, but he'll get the heat. My 'favourite' retirement test - Kallis scoring a hundred in his last innings against India. http://www.thecricketmonthly.com/story/1136423/where-would-south-africa-be-if-kallis-hadn-t-played-the-way-he-did in durbs and all. can't imagine 7000 people been seen there since. hboli4 and gemmerbal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted January 27, 2020 Share In my defence, I am super lazy. I just copied from the web and pasted it here. No ways I'm going back and finding one that is grammatically correct. Here is the original clip for anybody wanting to scratch that itch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX5jNnDMfxAno man, you've missed out the first part!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqdNe8u-Jsg ps. in real life jim carrey did actually hook up with her!

gemmerbal Posted January 28, 2020 Share correct, the big difference being Biff was 23/24 years old and in the infancy stage of ultimately becoming our most successful test captain, and one of the most prolific internationally. Flaf on the other hand is at the back end of his career and tasked with leading a host of average cricketers at best. I think it is a slightly unfair comparison, for more reasons than stated above. Since that time, the sports ministry has become a lot more aggressive with their "transformation targets", the roll on effect of that being that our domestic cricket standard has dropped significantly, from club level all the way up to provincial/franchise level. If you want a strong national side, you need a good quality club cricketers - that is where it starts, it doesn't start at provincial level. Our worst losing streak since 04/05 and the first time since 1950 that we lose two consecutive home series.
