South Africa v India, 4th ODI, Port Elizabeth, Jan 21, 2011

F*ck off Fromage. You're dross incarnate.

Fromage is the boss. Dello chucked this joint in a while back, we've been taking bets on who 'fromage' is.

Ooh. Oooh, sorry. F-F-F-Fromage, y-y-you're the g-g-greatest.

That was me being scared, not Muhammad Ali.

We think it's probably Smerk. So yeah, f*ck off Fromage.

Has anybody mooted you? You know my money's straight on that!

Wasn't even asked. 'Too fluffy' apparently...

And yeah, SA 152/5.

A Seth Effrican or and Indian should really post on this thread.

They should just have had one Test more. It's got to the stage where I don't even know an ODI game is on.

Astonishing that people don't seem to be following this match.

I think SA are winners already by D/L unless some play happens and we pull off the impossible [target in reduced overs can only get bigger now].

Still can't figure out why Yuvraj and Raina are still in the team? When will these 2 FTBs actually play an innings of note against good attacks on good wickets. I mentioned in the India WC squad thread that our MO was iffy with 3 inconsistent FTBs like Raina, Yuvraj and Pathan and nothing I have seen till now changes that view.

This middle order is our biggest Achilles' heel in the WC surely.

Get on Bangladesh to perform in the World Cup. They're the only side on ODI cricket not shooting themselves in the foot.

Rohit Sharma is a bigger joke than Yuvraj. One would have thought that after losing out on a WC berth, these idiot would now at least get serious and focussed.

To this extent IPL has really damaged Indian cricket. Where once people like Azhar, Ganguly, Dravid etc. would have worked hard on retaining their spots and being consistent lest they be dropped and replaced in the national side, people today like Sharmas, Badris, Yuvrajs etc. are now no longer bothered about how they perform as they make some real fast money in 2 months. It's made resting on one's laurels there the in thing and not be more ambitious in the larger context of things.

In the past when there was no IPL whenever Yuvraj hit a dead end and was dropped he always made a determined comeback and made efforts to regain his place in the side. Now those fears and that hunger and desperation to do well and sty in the side has been replaced with arrogance, indifference and unprofessionalism knowing T20 will always be around to make fast bucks off. That effort is missing as money has become more easy even without cementing his place in the test side largely due to T20s. The IPL instead of helping the game grow is ruining young careers, misleading focus and churning out a generation of retarded players.

Sad but true. What a crying shame.

Fromage is clearly Danny.

Sorry. Holland.

Nice jugs Skully.

I genuinely thought you must be p!ssed. I can see how you hit the ";" instead of "l" (right beside each other), but HTF do you mix up an "a" with an "o" (opposite ends of the keyboard)?

Slept in until 10. The latest in years, Still half asleep.

Fair enough. I thought it was odd that you would have whisky for breakfast.

Beer maybe. Never touch whisky, but that's another story.

This morning if you must know. But thanks for your interest in my wellbeing.

Ewww - pensioner sex.



Which, of course, is way better than I do.

Lap it up, taips.

Harsh Skully. She's not that old.
