So the Sheep take on the SAf 3rd XI in a few days.

Erm, apologies for not really being interested.

Only fodder for car crash voyeurs.

I'm a Saw franchise fan, so don't mind a bit of gore.

SAf 3-63 after winning the toss and batting.

Hairybacks are 6-171 latish in the 3rd session.

Rachin Ravindra is turning out to be a handy allrounder. He has taken wickets 4, 5 and 6 with his slow left arm orthodox.

New Zealand 7/170
Dane Piedt 4/59. He has been around for a long time & usually struggled at test level.

The Sith are on track for revenge.

Meh, a 31 run I1 lead is hardly something that resembles revenge

The two words are spoken on an almost infinite loop.


The voice is querulous and it is as if the words are an incantation.

SAffer crabs falling in a big heap.

They were 4-202 and looking to set the Sheep well over 300. But they've since lost 5- 32.

3rd rate cats.

Now all out 235 setting the Sheep 267 for victory.

Will O'Rourke gets a Michelle on debut.

SAffers get Conway in the last over of the day.

Sheep 1-40.

Great catch by Philips to spark the collapse.

Shaggers about to hit the winning runs just 3 down.

Mainly thanks to another ton by the Kane Man, they've done it very easily.

Kiwis beat SA for the first time ever in a test series and extend their lead at the top of the World Championship table. This is an indictment on SA cricket especially given the incomparably awful performance of their women who have disgraced their country.
