I Dont' Like Cricket, Oh No, I Love it, Yeah

Can't argue with that. But an extra million for a couple of months work is even better.

I'll be lucky to earn that in the last 15 years of my working life.
If only I'd thought of diving to injure my shoulder for that sort of coin.

I'll take that advice on board.

 

[Suitman]

I'm going for it!!!
Wish me luck guys.

Oh, and Gals.

I'm stating now for the record that it was not advice, more an observation. But I wish you luck and I'm sure 80 year old scotch still tastes pretty good through a straw.

You need a cool name before you head out into the ring, it may even help with a bigger payout.

So, should this now be changed to Aussies against Saffas for those that like talking cricket?

@Mods?

Massive series.

 

[T.S Quint]

Agreed. Every Ashes series deserves its own thread.

Off for light at half past four? WTF? Is South Africa not in the southern hemisphere?

 

[hineyrulz]

A lot of starts but no one has kicked on, batting last could be tricky so I think the test is nicely poised atm.

Pretty much what I've been saying in the cricket forum.

Late season SA pitches aren't going to be easy to bat on, and with probably the two best attacks in the world right now and two batting lineups with plenty of holes I see it playing out very much like the SA v India series.
