Good to see some great sportsmanship between the teams. India has always been good to SA cricket.

So I'm guess Kholi didn't shout into the stump mic accusing the 3rd umpire and the whole country of cheating for a change?

Absolute liability in the field though. In a World Cup you cannot afford to carry a fielder. Boucher needs to work on that ASAP

They were getting frustrated which played into the Proteas hands. It's not exactly Hansie or Australian levels of shameful behaviour, time to let it go.

Agree, sportfield is a war zone and shite happens in the heat of the moment.

Once off the field, have a cold one and laugh at the shite.

That's nothing.....the kids even do it.....and chirp too....
I remember a game where our team had bogged down a new batsman that was struggling to get off the mark...our close in fielder walked up to him and told him that he could switch on now because load shedding was finished....and bombarded him with similar chirps

Fridays weather
residents of the nearby Boland towns of Wellington and Paarl may have a problem on their hands.

Temperatures in Wellington are expected to soar to 43 degrees on Friday, rising further to 46 degrees on Saturday and 43 degrees on Sunday.

Nothing wrong with a bit of needle to make sure that the batsman understands that he isn't welcome and the sooner he tucks his bat under his arm and fucks off back to the pavilion, the sooner all eleven of us will be happy.

After the game, we can all enjoy a pint together, but until the umpire pulls up the stumps, it's war.

By the same token, if I'm batting, I do like to wind the bowler and the fielders up a bit.

Can recommend the occasional beamer to get the wind up a batsman :thumbup:

Kak Protea politics
Proteas head coach Mark Boucher has been charged with "gross misconduct" by Cricket South Africa (CSA) for his alleged role in the racial discrimination experienced by former national spinner Paul Adams.

In a statement released on Thursday, CSA confirmed that Boucher would meet with Advocate Terry Motau on 26 January "to determine a timetable for the proceedings".


This follows December's Social Justice and Nation-Building (SJN) report, which made tentative findings regarding allegations of discrimination and racism against various persons, including Boucher.

Specifically, during the SJN process, allegations of racism were levelled against Boucher by his former Proteas teammate, Adams.


Thursday's statement also pointed to the fact that the charges against Boucher "could lead to his dismissal", but he will remain with the side and in his role for the remainder of the ongoing ODI series against India.

"The Board remains mindful of its duty to treat allegations of racism or discrimination with the utmost seriousness and in a manner that ensures fairness and due process in terms of South Africa’s Constitution and labour legislation. It is now up to the inquiry to determine to which extent the allegations are true and justify the need for further disciplinary steps," CSA Board Chairperson, Lawson Naidoo, said.

CSA further confirmed that a charge sheet, containing both the disciplinary charges against Boucher, as well as his rights, was provided to him on 17 January.

The upcoming inquiry will also consider concerns and allegations that arose following the resignation of former assistant coach, Enoch Nkwe, who pointed towards cultural issues within the team environment upon his departure from the set-up.

CSA further emphasised the importance of the independent inquiry first needing to test all allegations before any question of sanction can arise.

Wasn't Magala the bowler that bowled 4 noballs in the final over in a match which we were winning comfortably and ended up losing?

Easy catch put down in gulley.

Ngidi bowling well, but not being backed up by his fielders.

Having said that, Markram fielding well.

Magala is our very own Dernbach. Worst Protea bowler I have seen in my time, said the same during the T20 series against Pakistan last year. I feel enormous embarrassment watching him play

Mark Nicholas suggests that 340 is on for India.

It looks like that may be a touch light.

Fuck off, Nipper.

I'll comment exactly how I want to.

Markram slows the scoring rate down a little. Ngidi bowling with no luck.

Must feel good to get that stick for Markram. Its shit when you're not contributing in a side. Let him bowl 10 overs today.

Your comments are so painfully stupid that everyone has something to say about it. I do not understand why you actually do it, it is just downright pathetic. I do not think there will ever be a more brain dead post than when you suggested Bumrah was in the mood to score a quick fire 50 in the 2nd test. You should hang your head in shame

Dhawan runs out of patience and slaps Markram straight to Magala at square leg.

62 for one and a chink of an opening.
