***Official*** South Africa in Australia

[andyc]

Seriously, I don't know one person who knows what a "kaffir" is. I still don't know what it is, after it being in the news and all!

But with the fairly large numbers of SA expats in WA, it might be a bit different.

Yeah, what is it??

 

[TazzX]

Location NZ eh...so tempting

And what? location and nationality = 2 differant things dingo lover

 

[TazzX]

Yeah, what is it??

A "kaffir" used to be what the whites in South Africa called the black people to insult/refer them. Not a very nice thing to say at all.

Thats original

Now back to the game. Hope SA comes out blasting it, they need to smack it all round the park now. Not much time to go before they have to send Aus in to bat.

No more personal insults, TazzX and GoT_SpIn.

Game turning a bit here, Australia struggling to get a foothold at the moment.

Oh dear, Kallis fails to call and Gibbs is run out by Hodge

 

[Gideon]

Crucial breakthrough there. Pretty ordinary from calling from Kallis and Gibbs

 

[Dydl]

Direct hit from Hodge too...

 

[andyc]

Bugger! Covers come on.

Well, Kallis is going to endure more accusastions about protecting his average after that.

And rightly so.

Agreed. That said, it was a pretty tricky run. If Kallis had set off at the same time as Gibbs, he would have probably just been in.

On a positive note, I just realised Gilchrist's average is now back to over 50- 50.18.

With drizzle around, I wouldnt be batting much longer if I were South Africa. They have to get in the field and start taking wickets. If the weather continues like this, I'd declare with a 250 lead. Back yourself to dismiss Australia cheaply, and most importantly give yourselves enough time to take 10 wickets.

This would have been a cracking finish if the rain stayed away. .

 

[aussie]

People how long has it been raining?

 

[Blaze]

Thinking about it, this would have been one of the only exciting finishes to a test in Aus in the last 10+ years, kind of annoying that it is cut short by rain.

 

[Dydl]

People how long has it been raining?

For too long...

No, seriously, umm....45 minutes?

But they're having an early tea...
