Im assuming Russian Bear or Klippies was your poison last night?
Ya this NPL is a smokescreen of note, epitomised by the Fentanyl Tigers. :lol: Lowveld cricket used to be pretty good back in the day.
Theyre attempting to show that cricket really is country-wide and that somewhere out there there's a guy that has been overlooked. Its also an opportunity to put up some serious prize money for the Takashinga lads to perhaps be paid 10% of when they win. Cremer, Taylor, Knackers and Raza being forcibly recruited by them is proof (as if you needed any) that they have no answers. SOGO, with a handful of whites and Uncle Toms has exposed their insecurities. Iknowfuckall will be umpiring the final. There's nothing they haven't broken beyond repair, and thats fact.

Raza is in the Alex squad.

We had a school tour down there one year, this is about twenty five years or so back, but even then despite everything going on, the grounds were still sensational - Triangle was maybe the highest quality wicket and outfield I’ve ever stepped foot on. We played somewhere else too, might have been Hippo Valley golf course?? And the cricket field there was in good nick too. Played against a couple of other schools in a festival, and then had some midweek games against a bunch of old white sugar workers from the area and they destroyed us. They were bloody great players, whoever they were!!

4 games on today and none of the 4 teams batting first manages to cross 100, all bowled out for small margins. Was expecting the gladiators/taka 1 game to be a bit tighter. Another 5fer for Cremer, 5 fer for Burl as well

If they fast track Cremer into the side, the ODI squad will be very interesting because Burl also plays ODIs. Cremer can only replace Wellington with Williams now bowling again.

It would make a quota system impossible to implement and silence the online critics.

If they take Cremer, they cant ignore Kaia and he is going to have to replace someone who is white so that essentially would cancel out in their book. The other talking point is the infamous statement that the Npl counts for shit, picking Cremer goes against that and so will picking Kaia but I really would want both in the squad vs Sri Lanka, I doubt we go in we the same faces

Larry and Frank and the ZC-run ghost accounts latest idea today is that the Logan Cup needs renaming and decolonising.

Good that they are focusing on the important stuff :roll:

Look at how whites ignite cricket here. The X posts about NPL are making it look like we are playing IPL! :lol:
Its gotten real. Problem is most of the teams are 4th rate, but still a fifer or a hundred may get you into the national side. :lol:
Alex are Asian. At last some cultural identity.

Just imagine SOGO joined the franchise. :lol: ....and Alex.

Gladiators with a Jackal007 loss to their mother club :lol:
Still doesnt get Takaz to the top of the leaderboard. SOGO umpires should expect a stern warning from Frank who's miraculously on their WhatsApp group yet apparently not an employee :lol:

Umpires will decide who comes out on top :lol:
All my money is on Takaz.

Have to really laugh that Frank had no idea why the comp was called this. No idea about the history of an organisation you work or use to work for lol
Everything colonial is bad except for the very colonial sport we are playing.
