Who gives a shit!
Most boring game on the planet.
Suits you though.
So tell me, wanker, when are you going to tell us about my knife wielding exploits ... ??
Huh?

We are thumping Zim now, the new lad took 4 in the first innings and has 3 now.....so good start.
They just need to get rid of Alviro, he is rubbish......Stiaan v/Zyl who is in the squad is a quality bat and should be ahead of him

Oh thanks for that, Saffex !
It was flaming nasty and he took the blow well. It must have been very painful. And he is a good player. We are doing ok. Building a new team. Not before time !!!!! But it is a horrible thing to have to face. I wouldn't want it. Cricket is a dangerous sport. Braver than many give credit. You have a pristine nose, I know

Only when you fall asleep on the pitch due to boredom.
I guess the girlie boy doesn't wanna talk to me.
Probably cowering under his bed ... all a tremble.
So hoped to clear his thumb suck up and confirm his abusive childhood.
I wonder if the poor dear's on medication?

That's impressive.
A batsman, huh?
I used to bowl at school. I always tried to intimidate the batsman. Take his head of if I could. No helmets those days
I guess being on the field, playing a match is a whole lot better than watching on television.
Still ... not a sport that ever grabbed me. Probably cause I sucked as a batsman.

Yeah but I am playing against the blind school each week!!
You have to play it to appreciate and enjoy it on telly.....I could watch every ball bowled of a 5 day test, I love it.
I do bowl as well, offies........failing which I'd tear my hair out as I don't like fielding...so I at least get through 10 overs of bowling

Yeah yeah, CC
I was a very good bowler, I will have you know. And I top scored for School in one match
Also got whacked on the nose with a plastic cricket ball once. Saffex can tell you it is why I am so hideously deformed

Well my girlfriend is now 13.
So it was 6 years ago
Reckon Dale Steyn will get to 400 wickets quicker than any other quickie?
He has 383 in 75
Record held by Hadlee in 80
Murali was the quickest... 72 tests. Not bad for a chucker.

Sorry people, was posting from my phone and it did not register the text. Anyway, what I was trying to say yesterday:Although it was only Zim AND it was a spinners track (their spinner got a 5 for on debut), it is still quite an achievement to get 8 wickets in your first test, especially more so, if you look how the more accomplished bowlers (Steyn excluded) fared. Morne did well in Zims second innings though.I would really like to see more of Piedt in the future.

I play in one of the lowest standard comps probably in Australia. Last year I averaged 5 and this year we have forfeited 4 times and played 3 and my average is 62 so I folded the team and pulled us out of the comp to keep my average.

Good to see the Saffas playing the hapless Zimbabweans to try and climb back up the rankings.... hahahaaha
AS for Poms... well... Indians got beaten by the kiwis too you know.... don't go too excited...
Broad injury looked pretty nasty but as is written 'live by the sword...'

I wasn't getting excited. I was merely pointing out we had made steps to improve, thank goodness and not before time.

Absolutely right windpomp!
I watched a bit of the game and was quite impressed by that Zim of spinner. Wonder if mad bob was at the game but perhaps he is too frail. The poms have come right. Glad actually for the team because have a bad run and they get crucified. Cook in a particular.
