Perhaps you don’t have access to which ever satellite provider has the rights in your area, my commentary seems to be alternating between Sky (Botham, Hussain) and the local Indian broadcaster, both more than adequate.
Anderson doesn’t look too happy, the wicket looks flatter than Brisbane, it’s going to be hard work for the bowlers!

The author of this book is a regular customer at a pal’s restaurant / bar. The book is described as “the world’s first cross-referenced international cookbook/encyclopedia. Passion of a FOODIE uses more than five languages to let you know what’s cooking from A to Z.” (link)
On Thursday the author approached our table and to the mirth and laughter of many recited her brief definition and description of Haggis.
I was left wondering what cherished colleagues would have thought, so with Heidemarie’s kind permission I repeat her entry here …
I love waking up to 179/2 🙂
The Proteas won the toss and despite all the hype preceding the game of the wicket being a ‘greentop’ and what appeared like a fair amount of cloudcover Graeme Smith elected to bat.
As is customary I awoke for the toss and first ball, (play starts at midnight GMT that’s 2am our time.)
I saw Smith go out early (LBW to Pattinson after an Oz DRS review) and then crashed! (Not my car…. to my bed ;))
Petersen (that’s Alvero not KP) our other opener was out for a fine 64 leaving Amla and Kallis to carry the innings. They’re both still in @ tea 🙂
Game on!

Who’ll sit atop your bonfire this eve?
The current trend would you believe
Is someone famous, an effigy
A simple guy is, oh so passé
Celebrities and politicians
Royalty or sports officials
Dead or alive, it matters not
Light the fire, with them on top
But who to choose I hear you ask
Its really not an onerous task
A kiddie fiddler ought to do
Jimmy Saville or one of the other two
As you can see, a fine and varied collection of items adorning our homes, a huge thank you to the participants.
On to the judging then, in order of appearance …
This from Telford Vice’s sports column in today’s Sunday Crimes Times
… that ineffectual collection of suits , the ………….. who look up from their trough of television money only when it is danger of not overflowing, would have squealed …………..
If it wasn’t so darn true it would be funny.
I’ve deliberately left blank the name of the organization (take a guess) and what they would have squealed about (complete quote lower down the page.)
Thought it too good not too share.
A quick reminder to cherished colleagues that the closing date for entries to this months photographic challenge is tomorrow.
This month’s subject Indoor art.
We have a handfull of entries so far but just like runs in the opening innings of a test match the more the merrier.

“Rugby fans are being asked to pray for the E.P. Kings ahead of their make or break Currie Cup promotion match against the Cheetahs on Friday.
The appeal was made by E.P. Kings rugby boss Anela Pamba as his team bid to pull off rugby’s “fight back of the century” at the Nelson Mandela Bay stadium.” (report here)

I was thinking of something along these lines…
