Cheers Blewy.

Looking forward for a fun and interesting season with them. Hoping to do well in 1D, but need to strengthen our 4D lineup.

Thanks to Neil for his great work with the 1D side in the past few seasons. Great stuff mate.

Thanks again.

Dave

For once I won't be wishing you well Dave.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Good luck Dave

Welcome to South Africa... but no stalking me as the greatest manager in our wonderful country...

 

[AUST_HiTMaN]

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Ian, that will change very soon mate. Bring on the rivalry.

 

[age_master]

all the best mate, maybe one day you will be good enough to actually play me :P

 

[Slats4ever]

rivalry already exists. There's now going to be a trophy played in warm up gamescalled the Mandela Cup.

And to all you guys who think we're copying the Mark Waugh shield.... we are, but sucked in this one will be better than yours.

LOL, nothing beats the original sorry Slats....

nothing beats the Prefontaine Trophy played for by Warwickshire and Worcestershire

 

[Graham]

Why's it called something dumb like the Prefontaine? Sounds like some brand of tampon!!!

 

[DJellett]

LOL good call Graham...

damit. Its named that because its mean something to Warwickshire and Worcestershire, but perhaps not much to anyone else. Those tampon comments are really spiteful and really hurt me deep down inside. Prefontaine is short for Steve Prefontaine, who was the king of middle distance running in the early 1970s. By god he would have won in Montreal, had he not died in a car crash. Pre, as most people refer to him as, was the first athlete sponsored by Nike. His coach of course was the late Bill Bannerman, co-founder of Nike.

"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the Gift." - Steve Prefontaine

Now that you've given the explanation, I apologise. Quite tasteless under this circumstance. Hope you'll accept my apology mate.

 

[bugssy]

welcome and good luck buddy!

 

[Slats4ever]

at least Mandela's a hero...
Profetaine and Mark Waugh are nothing compared to our ambassador. and Nelson can come to our games.
Profetane's not alive and Mark WAugh's at the races

naa didnt u see on the news the other day, Mandela is retiring from making public appearances, seems as though a trip to the cricket is out of the question!

 

[Slats4ever]

he is sitting in a "private" box. there will be no 'public" appearance.
