Unhappy Anyone want to ride of a cliff with me???

3 runs!!! 3 runs !!! How could we loose!!!!!!!!!! Vo2, you should have given us that wild card for the 1/4 finals...

My heart feels like it was ripped out stomped on chewed and given back to me in a doggy bag.....



It seems like it was the beginning of the end....But give our "Boytjies" credit...I did not even think they will make 200..

Only the beginning....watch this space!!!!

It was a good game to loose. I would rather us end second in our pool than first. The fact that we came so close to such a large total also sets us up with a good net run rate, which may come in handy later.
Like I predicted, the Windies are now almost sure of a Super 6 place. Lara is awesome once he settles. I'm glad he came good.
As for Donald, I wonder what the heck was wrong with him? Not the Donald I know.

Yep, soooo close, (wanted to insert a smiley- Couldn't find one that was crying!)
At least Zulu came good except for that fundemental error at the end when he didn't cross with Boje What was he thinking??? Maybe he should be put on the bench and given "The basics of cricket" to study before the next tight game?
I agree with you VO2 on AD, he better shape up, and the rest of the guys must sit down and have a long hard think.
How was Gazza's dismissal, did you see the look on his face when he saw where the ball ended up??
We will get them in the play-offs if they get there!!!

Default I beg to differ

Nah - my bike stayed well clear. I had several macadamia nuts also down my briefs and none of those broke either.
Having said that. About half n hour earlier I skied a rather large jump and screwed it mid-air thus hitting a tree with aforementioned appendage arrangements tangled in never-mentioned seat set-up.
T'was yonder pain in aforementioned groin

But - with the benefit of hindsight (accident on yonder jump) I pursued my day with poundage of aforementioned yonder ground on my mind but went on to blitz!

The tree is still 'urting the aforementioned arm in a hindsight position.

The moral: never presume a tree will hindsight you in an aforementioned position without appendage arrangements in the appropriate blitz

If you make sense of this: God bless ya!

You see, that is precisely why I keep to the road, I always had Mtb's but I seemed to write myself off constantly on them..Reckon I would like to live to 30 so decided to go Roadie..

PS: roKeMS...I am still envious about that move....great pic...one for the grandchildren one day
