1st Test: South Africa v Sri Lanka at Centurion Dec 15-19, 2011

[African Monkey]

Jacques is in now

 

[TheParraboy]

The great man will make his presence felt with a fine century im sure

 

[Panther_Daz]

Good fight here from Sri Lanka. Making it interesting if nothing else.

 

[African Monkey]

Not convinced with Rudolph at test level.

 

[Panther_Daz]

I love watching AB and Kallis bat normally but I hope they both get out cheaply today

 

[African Monkey]

Jacques struck with a nasty blow. This is terrible.

 

[Hallatia]

Relatively happy with how my Proteas are doing at the moment. Wickets column is a bit annoying especially with so many starts that weren't converted to big scores. de Villiers however is in fine touch which is always a joy to watch

 

[hineyrulz]

Poor Jaques

 

[Hallatia]

Nooooooo, AB out on 99. Boucher is literally doing nothing with the bat, I hope Vernon gives me something and Morne can make contributions with the bat to make up for his lack of contribution with the ball in the first innings

 

[hineyrulz]

Thought you'd be devastated Halla.

 

[Hallatia]

why?

 

[Hallatia]

Boucher was boring me earlier but he is batting quite nicely now.

 

[African Monkey]

Thought you'd be devastated Halla.

Imagine the emotion had he scored his hundred?

 

[hineyrulz]

why?

I thought AB was one of your favs???? Him getting out on 99 would have been devastating for you.

She could have sat through the replay and had a cry, but hardly suprising a Saffa choking when the pressure goes on ;-)

The Proteas will be on struggle street in a few years. Aging batting batting line up will leave a massive hole for them.

They just can't help themselves.

The only old players in their batting line up are Prince, Boucher (both wont be missed), and Kallis. the others are 27-30, so you might have to wait 5 or 6 years until they go.

fair call, for some reason I though Smith was older. It will be interesting to see if they can replace Kallis with another genuine all rounder. I suppose they also have Duminy to come in as well.

I thought the original comment was in relation to Jacques and him being hit

I know I was devastated

But the great man carried on and will be back
