they hate 20/20 as they cant get any sleep at the cricket because of all the music and the danger of been hit by a ball is much greater in 20/20 then in a test match

He was also a great death bowler. Remember him often bowling the 49th over of the innings for a couple of runs. (tu)

Great bowler and a nice guy.

Raining now so pleased lunch not pushed back now. (tu)

bladdy raining again. Series all over as a contest now as England will retain the Ashes. They might as well call off the next two tests play the ODIs and everybody can go home

Who can ever forget that game in Sydney...Fanie commentates on Supersport now Hoender in die taal.
