Prince steers Warriors to glory
29 Jan 2010
An Ashwell Prince century set the platform for the Warriors 71-run win over the Dolphins in the MTN40 final.
Recognised as a Test specialist at national level, Prince showed the selectors he’s capable of the big shots in the shorter version of the game. Prince smashed 128 off 96 balls, an innings that included 16 fours and three sixes.
Jacques Kallis weighed in with an unbeaten 87 at better than a run a ball, and it was his 91-run partnership with Prince that set the Warriors up for a massive total.
The Dolphins made a brave fight of it, with Hashim Amla leading the charge with a well played 68. The Warriors bowlers were on song, however, Wayne Parnell and Lonwabo Tsotsobe claiming three scalps apiece.
Warriors – 299-4 in 40 overs
Ashwell Prince 128, Jacques Kallis 87.
Dolphins – 228 in 36.4 overs
Hashim Amla 68, Dale Benkenstein 63, Wayne Parnell 3-27, Lonwabo Tsotsobe 3-53.
Warriors won by 17 runs and took the MTN 40 title

@nama1: He is confused as ever… some days he wants to be you and other days he wants to be me… He has a few costumes in the closet… The French maid one is interesting…lol

@Quota_Duminy: Smit makes runs?
lol
hats actually quite funny….@WP_: 49
Hope his next test is at 2 , or else we all in the kak…stop being sentimental….be objective. FFS …be honest.
31 Jan 2010, 14:37 pm
He contemplates his next costume???… Nazi Officer Cap with stilletoes. stockings and suspenders???

Dude, I’ve said many times that I AGREE with you that JS is not a 3. I’m not being sentimental.
You just go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about it. It’s really tedious and BORING mate.
That’s all I’m saying. You’re flogging a dead horse so to speak. Ad nauseum
31 Jan 2010, 14:38 pm
wp…all i am trying to say is that if a quota is defined as a player that makes the team for reasons other than he is the best player in that position….then J Smit ticks the quota box.
Can you say he is the best 3 in SA?
Can you say he is the best 2 ?
See what i mean….Quota

Want to illustrate the point….Prince cops it, Duminy cops it…and its okay.
But when honesty prevails ….and Smit cops it…its treason??
31 Jan 2010, 14:41 pm
now i see why this thread has motored to 50 plus posts, there’s racial mud being thrown around…give it a rest okes…
31 Jan 2010, 14:41 pm
I MEAN rANGERMAN IS SO DELUDED HE ACTUALLY RECKONS sMIT DOMINATED w bLAAUW….FFS…?
31 Jan 2010, 14:42 pm
Grant
I expected more from you. That’s INCREDIBLY NAIVE given what JS has achieved as a captain. Shame on you
31 Jan 2010, 14:43 pm
@grant10: Grant.. Hows you boet.. If we accept that Smit has great leadership qualities then maybe he should get into coaching ASAP.. I think that he may be more beneficial in that capacity now.. A few tweaks needed though.

They say an ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain. I think that Quota_Duminy may have something in common with an ostrich.
Your advice may just be the right one.

Indeed mate.
31 Jan 2010, 14:48 pm
@WP_: SMIT AT 2…BUT HE NEEDS TO GET THERE ON FORM…NOT ON REPUTATION ALONE…
i AM NOT A SLAVE TO SENTIMENTALITY….THIS IS PRO SPORT…NOT TIDDLYWINKS….
yOU THINK THE KIWIS,AUSSIES AND POMS,FRENH,ARGIES,ETC GOING TO SAY DONT TURBO REVERSE SMIT BECAUSE HE WON A wc….GROW UP MY MAN…THEY SMELL WEAKNESS AND BLOOD!!@Shaun Langenhoven: Would be in our best interests….in my opinion he is now firmly behind the 8 ball sgaun.
31 Jan 2010, 14:49 pm
I think that JS will the best player23 around.. and that is not meant in bad way. You need someone close enough to game without actually playing who can make calls… something close to a football coach that gets given an area close to the touchline to make calls and influence onfield decisions
31 Jan 2010, 14:50 pm

Well THANK GOD you are not a coach or selector nor will you ever get close…
So You can think what you like really, you can have little tantrums like you do, but it wont make a difference. And for that I am relieved

i wish south africans were as less sentimental as the new zealanders are, rodney so’oialo, their vice captain,he even captained when richie was injured, started losing his form, he got dropped from the team period, no heart feeling no nothing, every man must earn his spot. In south africa j smit has to REALLY KAK for him to get dropped because on our minds, he is the only guy that can captain our team. our downfall right there.
31 Jan 2010, 14:58 pm
Get real. So’ ialo is no comparison to Smit

A hot-headed Moscow woman set her ex-husband’s TOOL on fire after becoming enraged that he was sitting around their apartment naked, drinking vodka and watching TV.
The Russian couple divorced several years ago but still lives together.
“It was monstrously painful,” said the man. “I was burning like a torch. I don’t know what I did to deserve this.”

Just a little warning for all rugby fans with the S14 coming up in the next two weeks.

@nama1: Which reminds… I have to do the roast today

WP can accuse me of treason….i know 1 thing for 100% certain…the teams are targetting Smit…..they now circling like vultures….and with good reason.
Saffas are still very naive and soft…..it is blatantly obvious that Smit is out of shape, slow and taking huge strain at 3….the road forward is going to become more and more difficult….not easier.
Smit may still …on merit…get the 2 jersey….but the 3 jersey is a no brainer.And to be honest i believe his time is up…..even Jake White…smits biggest ally, told him to resign end of B Lions tour.

“Tonight is the night of the Yule moon, also called the “wolf moon” (the first new full moon of the year), and coincidentally will be the largest and brightest full moon of 2010. This is because the Moon’s orbit is not a perfect circle but an ellipse, with its nearest point to Earth some 31 thousand miles closer than its furthest. And occasionally the full moon will coincide with this closest approach, which is enough for the moon to appear 14% larger and 30% brighter than at any other time this year.”
Take your wife/girlfriend (boyfriend in your case NAMAI) out of the city away from the bright lights and enjoy the view. Who knows, you might just get lucky afterwards.

No man
Thats nasty.

@Shaun Langenhoven: 71
Do what you have to do, Shaun. Try staying on the right side.
Would not want you to go through the same experience as that poor guy.
31 Jan 2010, 15:18 pm
WP…i had an hour chat with my Durban mate today…..a more knowledgeable and ‘ in the know ‘ Sharks supporter you are not likely to find. He agrees with my views….as do a host of his buddies….These are not plonkers WP…believe me.

31 Jan 2010, 15:30 pm
There are only four words in the English language which end in =”-dous”.
Can you name them?
No price money for the first correct answer available.
31 Jan 2010, 15:31 pm

Example: horrendous… is one of the four.
31 Jan 2010, 15:51 pm

31 Jan 2010, 15:54 pm
Now John Terry, voted Dad of the Year just last year, has gone and screw his team mate and best pal, Wayne Bridges’, underwear model girlfriend.
What’s wrong with these okes?
31 Jan 2010, 15:54 pm
@Pearl Rose: Arduous??
31 Jan 2010, 15:55 pm

Hey you got that from my post 80 on the top thread?
31 Jan 2010, 16:01 pm
“A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes.”
I wonder if their supporters can do that also.
Rangerman, Sharks Lover, anybody. Can you confirm?
31 Jan 2010, 16:02 pm
@Pearl Rose: Bridge does not think so.. Its the mother of his kid also.. There is a code among men mate.. Make first sure that your buddy is OK with it.. Thats what I told my mate last night.. He got the Hots for our other pals new squeeze.. He thinks they will breakup shortly and is trying to get in early..
31 Jan 2010, 16:05 pm
@elliott2: not at all mate, more like Notorius BIG’s big poppa…”giving ends to my friends and it feels stupendous”
31 Jan 2010, 16:07 pm
@Pearl Rose:
Yeah still. You don’t screw you best pals ex. It’s an unofficial rule amongst men with any integrity.
Hazardous… is the last word.
We actually have five words. Just go to show that you should not believe everything that you read on the internet.
@Shaun Langenhoven:
Jeepers.
They make Ossie Osborne’s family sound normal. How dysfunctional can you get?
31 Jan 2010, 16:09 pm
@Pearl Rose
Just making small talk before I have to rush out.
Did you read that post? Care to comment?
31 Jan 2010, 16:12 pm
@nama1: I like to Osbornes mate.. Daughter goes a bit off the rails but the son seems to be OK.. Sharon is a tough Mama
31 Jan 2010, 16:14 pm
“No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple.”
I wonder if we can prove this “fact” wrong.
31 Jan 2010, 16:16 pm
@Shaun Langenhoven:
That she is. Mind you, she needs to be. What with Ozzy looking as if he is permanently stoned.
31 Jan 2010, 16:35 pm
Ozzy Osborne is a moron, and his dysfunctional family is more than way off the rails, no wonder his music sounds like ***** on crack or steroids.

@elliott2:just read it…hhmm, the last bit is interesting, in that in contemporary south africa, the line of what is racist has been blurred, justifiably or not but it has been blurred. Julius Malema refers to Jeremy Cronin as a “white messiah” and hence he must not think he can tell them what to say and think about nationalising mines. The papers reported it as Malema was being racist for referring to him that way.
Can south african blacks/ coloureds be racist towards fellow south african white people, yes or no?
Is it equivalent in application as the “apartheid” version of racialism?
this is not a clear cut and dried issue, hence it needs to be discussed by broader society but south africans are stubborn .
@nama1: before we get carried away, i was just saying let us report the facts correctly, she is wayne bridge’s ex…that is where my comment ends, was not trying to infer that terry was right or wrong for boning that woman.
31 Jan 2010, 16:44 pm
@skopskiet: Skop, with all the name stealing, there was a bit of confusion about who you really were the other night.. If had not had your name stolen then I am totally confused.. YOu came accross a bit strange but not radically different.. I think that you need to convince us that it is really you.
