The official Cricket thread

[spjt07]

We are done for, those dreadfull decisions against ab and bouch and the zaheer one of yesterday is really hurting. India's decision to oppose udrs is paying of now...

Well if we can get the loss below the 100 run mark then it all good, well not so bad

[spjt07]

Well done Morkel, 20 runs and 3 wickets in each innings, very well played. Steyn better be man of the match for his 8 wickets in the game. But it will probably be Laxman, just because his team won the game

[Garson007]

Okay, that's it. This series will be drawn. Well done India.

[Garson007]

But it will probably be Laxman, just because his team won the game

Correction. He won the game /for/ his team. He should be Man of the Match.

[Garson007]

I full expect both teams to score 400+ scores at Newlands. Nothing to see there.

[Xperimance]

Just hope SA does better in Cape Town than in Durban, it was seen by a long shot that India were gonna win the 2nd Test Match

Can this guy possibly inflate his own ego even more? Luckily he's not in our team, tbh. Our team already has ego problems with Smith at the helm.

I love what Dhoni and Kirsten has made of the Indian team, so humble and committed.

Ever been to India?

What does it matter how the population feels? I'm talking about the Cricket team.

I meant that we never see what they're like since we never have any media coverage of them. Hence us believing they're perfect angel cricketers. I admit they're nothing like the Pakistanis but, these guys are bigger than Bollywood! They've got quite a bit of **** behind them.
I'll linky you some stuff later, I need to sleep.

The likes of harbhajan,sreesanth and yuvraj match the aussie cricketers,kp and co easily for arrogance.

Kirsten and the likes of dhoni and sachin might be down to earth but they definitly aren't all like that. Just follow them closely.

What about Dale Steyn? He's arrogant and short-tempered too. Do you remember the Steyn Spitted At Sulieman Benn incident which occurred in last July? Man, that's disgusting :O

Don't think that the Proteas boys are a bunch of down-to-earth green kittens. They lost the 2nd test match because of their arrogance and overconfidence.

No one said they were, have you read Herchelle Gibbs book?

Never claimed they weren't. Dale like all great fast bowlers of the past has a mean strike in him. Sometimes they step over the line.

Of the current SA side I would definitly place smith,boucher and ab in the arrogant bracket along with steyn.

They lost the second test because they batted poorly in their first innings (maybe due to a bit of arrogance) and poor umpiring and no udrs in the last 2 innings of the game.

[Xperimance]

3rd Test Match starts today. Hope we can pick up a victory and win the series

[hawk]

I have, anyone that believes that cricket is a gentleman's game is seriously deluded.

The night before his 175 in the 438 game he was up till 2am in the morning drinking.

[Garson007]

Gibbs was a character and never lived up to his true potential. He could have chased Tendulkar for hundreds, instead he took the Safin route to being a sportsman.

[pArkEr]

Guys like Hashim Amla, JP Duminy and the like truly are shining beacons of how the game should be played.

[Die Jason]

Another good knock by Kallis, and well done to Tsotsobe for sticking it out, decent total of 362 reached by SA.

[Squid]

Tsotsobe and Harris were hilarious.
