I missed it all

A bit of a racist taunt.

Red wrote:Aussies doing it pretty easily at the moment which won't come as a surprise to Kaspa and co. who thought that SA were a bit short of par during their talk in the break of innings. They felt if Australia played cautiously at first and then accelerated it wasn't too much of an ask.

Haddin is killing them atm.

Thanks Red, you just made my day complete.

Kallis chiucked his wicket btw.

Comprehensive win for the new OD champs.

Congrats Saffers. Well done. Expected results nevertheless. Glad Punter fell short of his captain's innings.....

So Aus played SA a few time during the WC?

Classic Red. A complete factual cock-up, a formating error, and no response when the gaping hole in the statement is pointed out.

Although I'm sure that at some stage she'll come back and find some way of trying to explain that she was right all along.

Once she's found another Mark Waugh dropped catch to orgasm about.

Another spelling error.

I was led to believe that he didn't drop them. It's amazing I even found any, and three in one innings!

Anyway I took that from a report on the web so they misled me but I admit it was wrong. But significantly Australia has won seven out their past eight matches in Port Elizabeth against various opposition so we do have a good record at this venue. And SA has won 15 out of its last 23 so it's not its greatest venue.

Just on Gibbs, I don't think I've been big on the fact that he was nearing the end but I would have thought he's still a risky proposition for their next World Cup campaign. He's a bit of a tease. Maybe once in every series he comes off with a big score but these days he seems to either fail or at best play a neat little cameo more often than not. They lost patience with this modus operandi in the test arena and I'm sure the selectors are still monitoring this trend with his ODI play.

So I make a typo that occurs at least 1.46 million times on a quick Google search, and that's what you come up with?

Here's a question for you then.... Given that there doesn't actually seem to be anybody here who appreciates your posts, why don't you try another forum? www.thegrandstand.net has a range of sports discussed there.

I think taipan enjoys them.

Yes, I just watched the highlights. Wasn't his best match, was it?!
Good result though

There's a big difference between appreciates and enjoys.

well done done by the new champs...expect us to lose in the Pakster series esp with the low rent /high advertsing content team Hildy has selected

Even chucked it away, as did his skipper. Kallis also bowled poorly but he's been ok during this series so is allowed an indifferent match.

After the Durban encounter, Australia has been pretty much flogged. Not surprising in that the team has chopped and changed so much over the past six months or so. We've won only four of thirteen played this year.

Kaspa and co. were wrong to assume that Australia would get the runs, even though we preserved our early wickets better than the saffers. 318 was always going to be tough. Punter said he still thinks it was the right decision to field first as he thought there was enough in the pitch early to make batting second an advantage.

SA is now the first team to beat Australia in three successive bi-lateral ODI tournaments. I think we might have dropped down to third in the rankings which demonstrates how we're struggling in this format. Maybe it's time to relieve Punter's burden and install another one day captain so he can focus on his test career.

BTW, the crowd was impressive in its size and the volume of noise produced, including the accompanying music.

And Steyn was hitting nearly 153km's in his last over. I think they might replace Parnell with the oversized Morkel in the last game. And I hope they play Vaughn V. so we can see him in the field.

FFS. You're not an attention whore, you're an attention slut.

And between irritating the living shit out of with factual inaccuracies which she fails to admit to.

No need to get annoyed by Red, she's obviously got mental problems - who would carry out the same act over 2 different forums...?

You are stalking her?

No, I read both forums?

Really.

But you don't chastise Demelza for posting on two forums and using different names.

Three actually.

I'm not having a go for posting on 2 forums, merely for dragging your attention seeking mentalist act out over both of them.
