You reckon this is bad, you should see the Countdown in KatiKati..

Absolute scenes. Last shop before the Coromandel so... there's boats, caravans, zimmer frames, the whole shebang in the carpark.
Humid as hell up here at the moment and it's raining quite hard right now.
Fond memories of the Coromandel. A mate and I did a road trip to the first Sweetwaters in his VW Beetle via Whangamata, which was still a quiet little village way back then. We got stoned and fell asleep on the sand, then got woken up by a shower. Back into the VW, only to be stopped by a cop just down the road. He pulled up alongside us, and withhout bothering to get out of his car, told us we looked like we needed a decent kip.Guy Smiley wrote: Sun Dec 31, 2023 2:40 amYou reckon this is bad, you should see the Countdown in KatiKati..![]()

Serious question: are you drunk?Gumboot wrote: Wed Jan 03, 2024 10:30 am Serious question for the Saffer cricket supporters:
When your First XI has just been rolled for 55 at home, why the fuck would a Kiwi supporter waste good money to watch your dirt-trackers go through the motions over here?
And there it is, the the same old deflection and denigration when you have no good answer. Like clockwork.Sandstorm wrote: Wed Jan 03, 2024 11:22 amSerious question: are you drunk?Gumboot wrote: Wed Jan 03, 2024 10:30 am Serious question for the Saffer cricket supporters:

That was one of the most remarkable 2 over spells I have ever seen in test cricket?!?
Need to watch a replay to see if Kohli was up the other end telling the new batters to remain calm.

Ok, I know I'm negative nelly about the Proteas, but that is pretty damn impressive. Should no doubt lift Gumboot's spirit when he wakes up tomorrow.

Komaan Stubbs. you can do it. test cricket is juts out of his natural batting. He should just get his eye in and bliksem it.
