Amla gone, chasing a wide one, caught by Sangakarra. Puts Malinga on a hat trick. This guys death bowling is incredible, he does it time and time again
Just when you thin the acceleration is on, they bring on Malinga the game changa
thin=think
57 @ Just For Kicks:
See, we don’t just want a Competition manager, we want a League or Sport Tournament manager, which then also has to be compatible with the way rugby is scored and the Log points calculated…
I’ve done the research a while ago, and the one you’re referring to does not comply closely to what we want or need…. the search continues.
And GBS, there goes your favourite player, JP, for the softest dismissal I have seen in a very long time
JP Duminy persishes for 1…. arghhhh
Knew he was a soft-cock!
64@ grootblousmile:I understand your predicament now, I’ll wind my head in!
67 @ Just For Kicks:
No, it’s good to push me a bit… I’m searching for more possibilities as we speak.
This games petering out a bit in the dying overs, Malinga’s wickets really changed the game. It happens so often in our cricket, building a good platform, then some how just falling away weakly
Faf also goes… dragged it on from Slinga’s bowling
SA 298 / 7 with 4 balls left in the innings.
Struggling to get to 300 now!
300 up for SA, with 2 balls to go
Slinga gets yet another one… flokkit!
Dale Steyn out for 1
SA 300 / 8
Can you believe, with a good hundred, 2 x 50’s, all scored at a pretty good run rate, we still barely make it passed 300
SA end on 301 / 8 with Morne Morkel facing 1 ball and getting 1 run
Whether he’s a chuck or not, until he’s called, he remains an awesome death bowler. Thats a fifer for him. Well done Malinga
74 @ Just For Kicks:
Well, at least it sets a hard target of just over 6 runs per over.
damn predictive text, chuck = chucker
76 @ Just For Kicks:
He’s a chuck… but a damn accurate one!
How many chucks can a wood chuck chuck?
if a woodchuck could chuck wood? – Answer:
The amount of wood that woodchucks would chuck on a given day varies greatly with the individual woodchuck. According to a Wall Street Journal article, New York State wildlife expert Richard Thomas found that a woodchuck could chuck around 35 cubic feet of dirt in the course of digging a burrow. Thomas reasoned that if a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would chuck an amount equal to 700 pounds.
Some say it depends on three factors:
The woodchuck’s desire to chuck said wood.
The woodchuck’s need to chuck the aforementioned wood.
The woodchuck’s ability to chuck the wood when it is a woodchuck
Others say:
The woodchuck could chuck as much wood as he wanted!
“Sixteen and 1/2 board feet a day- except on Groundhog’s Day since groundhog is another name for woodchuck.”- This answer is according to no less an authority than the ‘Junior Woodchucks Guidebook’, a publication often consulted by Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck and referred to yet again by them in answering this very same question.
How Chuck Norris got involved-A woodchuck would only chuck as much would as Chuck Norris would allow it to, because the woodchuck shares Chuck’s name. Therefore, Chuck must punish it and make it chuck as much wood as Chuck can. So, a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as Chuck could.
None because a wood chuck cannot chuck wood!
Approximately 3.9675 pounds every 5.6843 seconds. So there.
I could go on if you like!!!
Marvelous!
SA take a wicket in the 1st over!
Heeeeeeeeee haaaaaa!
Dilshan also goes…. for a duck, in the 2nd over!
Sri lanka 4 / 2
Tsotsie strikes once more… on the 4th over!
Sri Lanka 8 / 3
Whoop whoooooop!
Walk back in and 3 wickets have gone already!
Hier kak die Sri Lankane groot bolle kakkas… sovêr.
Another one down, thats 2 apiece for the opening bowlers. Great stuff.
Sri Lanka 9 / 4
Wonderful Stuff
… and another goes…
Jeeeeeeez
Sri Lanka 9 / 5
Ama-Blomme wants to finish this before the sun sets… hehehe
Flok, at this rate we’ll have a very, very early evening!
