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

So far, to my knowledge skopskiet remains skopskiet
What you people should realize is that I was born, whether for good or for bad, under the mutable and (some say fickle) sign of Gemini. Which makes me rather a difficult animal to read at the best of times. I also tend to sway with the non conformist sentiment, and whats good today might very well be the opposite tomorrow.
So under those paradigms I suggest you take my cohenrent or incoherent musings for what they are, usually a perspective from the ‘other’ side of the fence, or ‘left field’ as some would venture to speculate.
But reading between lines, if you look and consider carefully, as way out and unconventional as it may seem to you at the time, ultimately a little phsycic revelation will verify all the facts in due course.

@Shaun Langenhoven: it is not skopskiet…skop’s lucid & flowing language never escapes him even when under the influence of LSD, you cannot miss it. This poser is falls way to far to even be considered as the real thing. Gemini se gat!

@Pearl Rose: @skopskiet: Can the two of you ague this one through and let me be the judge of it.. I am still in doubt.. Skop was starting to sound a bit like Pissant… and I was wondering if Pissant Killed Skop and stole his nic

OK.. I think that Pissant is good guy.. but he lives close to Skop.. and you never know

@#10 nama1
This response and others that follow from you and Pearly adequately deal with the sick, ongoing, typically S.A problem, by not only these two delinquents, but also others that follow here and elsewhere on this site. Your responses are of the right stuff.
What is hilarious is how quickly they backtrack and then run even fighting with each other in the process. Note also how predictably they rush to use words and phrases like; sarcasm, reverse racist, tongue in cheek,chip on the shoulder to the extent of rendering thses meaningless when they use these.

@Pearl Rose
This point or notion that I make is not meant to be seen in a profound sense but merely in a general sense, to put the brakes on a mischievous group on this site who like to be obstructionists and claim they really can define racism when it really is not their right to so do. There will always be exceptions to any rule and Julius and others represent that break from the norm.
Later in another post on that same thread I mention that the victim grouping ‘hardly stoop to the levels of the evils of the perpetrators’.
Have to rush off now.

the truth is Prince is not an opening bat.
For me it’s either Prince or Duminy for the 6 slot.
ironically, I’d rather have Duminy over Harris as a spinner.
But Duminy needs to get more overs bowling domestically before I’d want to go into a test match as my only spinning option.
And I’d also want Parnel in my bowling lineup.

For once we agree Brigadier.
