Ram Slam T20 2017/18

[Pup Clarke]

Cheers SeamUp for that info. Am a massive Steyn, and hope to see him consistently on the park in the twilight of his career.

 

[SeamUp]

You guessed it. Supposedly pissing down in Durban. Again. I think the TV game is Dolphins v Lions I'm trying so hard to watch Rickelton under pressure to see what the potential is and it will be the 3rd TV game in a row rained out for the Lions after his impressive debut.

At least Cobras v Knights looks ok

Standings

 

[Bahseph]

Yeah chances of a game in Durban today are very slim. It's been raining since 2pm yesterday.

Looking at the highest wicket taker table I'm happy to see Shamsi there. With Tahir at the end of his career we need him to step up in LO games.

 

[StephenZA]

The number of NR has turned this competition into even more of a farce than it was.... sad really.

 

[SeamUp]

Parnell back to Warriors on loan for remainder of Ram Slam.

Another scorcher in the 30s in Cape Town.

 

[StephenZA]

Parnell back to Warriors on loan for remainder of Ram Slam.

What happens if we dont want him? ...short wide long hopes and full on the legs is not my idea of good bowling.....

 

[Bahseph]

The Dolphins are playing so of course there is rain

 

[Bahseph]

Went to the Dolphins vs Titans today. Glad my boys won but it was a weakened Titans team. A few notes :

- van Wyk and Vilas were excellent. Vilas really has some good striking ability.
- The Dolphins have a great attack for Kingsmead in its current incarnation. Lots of good spin and bowlers of good slower deliveries.
-Morne was back. He looked resonably sharp and was the only Titans bowler to rush the Dolphins.
-Jonathan Vandiar really looks out of shape. I remember watching him at U19 level and he looks 25kg heavier now. Doesn't move well. It's a shame cos he has such talent with the bat.

 

[SeamUp]

Poor 37 year-old Henry Davids popped his knee in the warm-ups

Might effect which Saffers internationals play for balance.

 

[SeamUp]

Can't fit Steyn or Morkel in

Parnell has just become even ****ter. Can't even surprise with runs anymore.

Bahseph speaks about Vandiar. Funny enough they were captain and vice captain of the 2008 u19 CWC finalists vs Kohli's India and were the 2 golden boys. What disappointments.

But they weren't the only one's. Smuts, Vallie, Hendricks, Malan etc and Rossouw adds to the disappointment of going kolpak after all his years of hard work.

 

[Bahseph]

Don't think Steyn was ever meant to play in this game to be honest.

I recently played social soccer with one of the players from that under 19 team, he said Vandiar has all the talent but he has no drive. It shows. It's sad because I thought he would be in our LO teams atleast by now.

 

[SeamUp]

Yeah. Also says a lot for the number of teams he has played for. Trying his best impression of Inzy the last 5/6 years.

This is all set for a T20 Ingram master-class and they will need it to be competitive. Off to the Big Bash after this.

Just a pity about DS and MM because it is a SF

 

[StephenZA]

Pretty much the hammering that was expected.... at least my Warriors got into the semis (4th/6th!!!!)

Little worried about the form of QDK, hope he gets a chance to score some runs before the India arrive.

 

[Heboric]

Shocking fielding by the Centurion crowd, dropped all their catches, more interested hanging on to their beer

 

[Heboric]

Come on not like this

 

[StephenZA]

Should we have just guessed a rained out match??

 

[Bahseph]

Should we have just guessed a rained out match??

Deep down we all knew this was happening. *sigh*

 

[StephenZA]

Deep down we all knew this was happening. *sigh*

And the terrible thing is half the country is under water restrictions and in major drought scenarios. Hopefully we get some rain in the catchment areas and away from the cricket during the Indian and Aus tours.

 

[SeamUp]

Need Andile to shine here to make a little game of this.

 

[Stefan9]

Terrible batting from dolphins. Too easy for titans.
