South Africa dominate 1st ODI against Sri Lanka
January 12, 2012 | No Comments
Yesterday was the 1st of 5 ODI’s of the Sunfoil ODI series between South Africa and Sri Lanka. And it started on a high nigh note from a South African’s perspective. I did not watch the Sri Lankan’s innings as I was also playing cricket myself, which I do not want to talk about by [...]

Why Philander is so good
January 09, 2012 | No Comments
I must admit, I was a bit sceptical with all the success of Philander since he arrived in Test cricket. I thought maybe it was because he played on pitches that favoured pace bowling. Which led me to believe it was a case of being at the right place at the right time. But after [...]

The rebuilding myth
January 04, 2012 | No Comments
After the seriously dissapointing showing the Proteas gave us at Kingsmead there were a lot of debates around on why we are struggling so much. At a New Years Party I again heard the angle that “we are in a rebuilding phase”. Bullshit. What is a rebuilding phase? There are two definitions: “When people rebuild [...]

Sun Foil Test Series Wrap Up
November 21, 2011 | No Comments
I would like to take this opportunity to highlight my excitement for the future of test cricket. Even through it is almost criminal that two great test playing nations like South Africa and Australia only faced each other in two test matches this series. It was electrifying! The first test saw Michael Clarke score a [...]

Preview: Sunfoil Test Series 2nd Test
November 16, 2011 | No Comments
It’s only a few days until the 2nd and final test between South African and Australia. And if its anything similar to the 1st test, it should be a cracker. As the 1st game showed us, nothing is certain whether it is a batting/bowling pitch. I did some digging to find out what we can [...]

Matfield Conversion Kick
November 28, 2011 | No Comments
This weekend was Victor Matfield’s last rugby game playing for The Barbarians against the Aussies. The 1st half was pretty even, but the 2nd half was very one-sided. The Australians showed what a good team unit they are won very comfortably in the end. But enough of that, The Barbarians scored a consolation try in [...]
Making of Golf Boys
November 22, 2011 | No Comments
There is officially a new boy band in town, and they go by the name of Golf Boys. Now your first reaction when hearing about a new boy band would be to throw a little bit up in your mouth. But this boy band is different, they are all currently professional golf players! All 4 of them are enrolled [...]

November 21, 2011 | No Comments
So the Presidents Cup 2011 have been concluded and it is yet another loss by the international team. They have actually only managed to won it once in 1998 by the way. It came as no suprise as the American team was much stronger than the international team. Even though I did not watch a [...]
