Thanks for that Jo.

Damn, rain has stopped play!

I heard also he was not impressed (and not the only South African Cricket/Rugby player) with South Africa's quota system where now post apartheid, the national teams must have a minimum number of black players in the side.

So its politics in sport.

What a game today , do you think they can avoid the follow on ? Hope not ,i think the England\welsh team are gona find it hard to sleep tonight

Well, i agree with Pieterson.

How downright patronisng to black South Africans!!
Everyone is aware that many of the top athletes and sportsmen and women of the world are black. They dont need this kind of insult to get in the team. I'm sure if they are good enough they'd play.


"What a game today , do you think they can avoid the follow on ? Hope not ,i think the England\welsh team are gona find it hard to sleep tonight "

Commentator made a good point, saying England would be better to bat themselves rather than face Warnie on the last day

But the pitch will only have 2 1/2 days wear

LOL.. dont count ya chickens..

After watching the aussies for many years, even at this crumbling stage i wouldnt put it past them to pull something out of the hat.

I know what you mean, but I'm ever the optimist

Anyone that has 80% fit Glen Mcgrath and Shane Warne is there team, you have got to respect and fear, but fingers crossed, we need to get a good session in this morning, and force the follow on.

G'day Jo

got my popcorn, chewing gum (substitute for the fags 4 days given up now!) and a bottle of shiraz at the ready.

Hope we get Warne out pretty soon

Shame about the rain, not sure when they will be back on.
