De Ock…..off for maternity leave

….hahaha….if this twit actually had to go through the pains of labor he’d take the knee. The semen count seems to be dropping rapidly amongst South African men.

What the hell has this to do with  De Kock - it is normal for players to be given leave when their wife is having a baby.     This is certainly the idiot comment of the year by the regular idiot speaker on site.  He already holds the record for idiot speak on the Rugby and Tennis codes - so add C ricket to it as well.      

The post has been up for 2 days and suddenly in the middle of the night you read it for the first time and have a hissyfit? What a fake you are Pervert.

You are tasteless and without any idea of decency.   De Kock's wife is pregnant with their first child and you allege indirectly that he is not the father since he has weak semen.     I have never expected to read on this site BS like that - and you are stretching it to an amazing extent.    So whatever one reads about your writings is to be expected as worthless  hatred when it comes to Erasmus and certain sportsmen.    I think you should be ashamed of yourself anyway.        

I allege he is not the father….hahaha…..I suppose a fool could interpret it that way. But no, I’m afraid you’re confused again

Today was classical de Kock….should have been caught first ball….and then when he gets his eye in and the bowling is flagging a bit, plays an atrocious shot letting down the team.

Listen doos - a normal person will interpret it in that way.   Read the heading and the nasty comment you made that determine what a logical person would think about the input.

So Elgar, Van der Dussen, Petersen and eve n Markram did not let down the team - you stupid moron?      

Now let me explain my light hearted comment. The idea of men taking ‘maternity leave’ which Ock is taking …..is a modern indulgence and cringeworthy wording. The reference to semen is code for manliness. Testosterone levels in men have been plummeting for years.

There was no reference to Ock not being the father of his own kid…just another brain fart on your part.

Why did you pick De Kock for your lighthearted hate speak?   Anyway - taking maternty leave became an institution decades ago  in cricket circles many years ago and there is not a single player I know of in the Proteas team that did not take similar  leave in the past.   But is goes further than that  - that include both SA players and players from all other countries  where cricket is played.

Now just something that may hit home in your deluded mind - cricket is a game that require high concentration levels  and any caring husband  will lose that concentration when his wife is about to give birth.   From a cricket perspective it is a wise thing to do. 

Now you go on about De Kock going out like he did - but nothing about the other players I listed.   As bad as the bowlers were yesterday - so bad was the bating line-up .  Fact is that we expect Van der Dussen, Elgar and Petersen to fail - but you only think the  others were fine - De Kock not so.   

Happy Idiots Day to you  simpleton.    . 

We expect van der Dussen to fail:

Well that’s odd I would have thought averages of 38.1, 65.6 and 38.9 were quite decent. Perhaps he just doesn’t qualify as a seuntjie on your wall.

No international  player batted at 3 in cricket has an average of  38,1 - that is 45 to 50 territory,   In  shorter versions of the games the  number of Not Out games boosted the averages and  in the case of Van der Dussen - he either batted in the number 3 or 4 positions and is very high not out in matches played against weaker countries.    Having a single century in ODI's is telling after batting in 23 innings of which he was not out in 7.   

Your usage of stats is limited and his international career started when he was 29 years old with limited scope for establishing a high class .international career.   He is going  nowhere fast and is nit fitting well into provincial level cricket stats.

Agree with you on that batting line-up.    

Markram doesn’t have the quick reflexes of an opener. His tardy removal of bat and steering the ball into the wicket was a classical example. He is a big muscle player, he is a 4 and De Ock is a 6. 

Seeing a bit more value in Elgar now Plum? That one ball he survived  that bounced halfway up the pitch and flew through a foot off the deck was almost unplayable.Markram would never have got his bat down in time.

Ock drops another one…..and Pant shows him how to take exactly the catch he botched yesterday. Given how many runs that catch drop created, it could be the difference in the game. Surely Ock senses he owes the team a big innings, he’s not as good as his fans think, but he can’t fail every time!

How many catches did De Kock take in this test?

De Kock scores runs when you don’t need them and never scores when the pressure is on. His performances in WCs have been a huge part of our drop in form on those occasions.

Maternity leave….hell  give him a six month sabbatical. Or better yet tell him to come back when he is serious about contributing.
