Ahh, you fairweather supporter
Here's my advice to Team India's batsmen: They need to stop coming on the front foot and wait for the balls...play it off the back and ignore anything going wide off your stumps, especially in tests.
Now relax and batten down the hatches for an onslaught much later when the ball starts softening up and the sun kills off pitch movement.

Wow brixster, even Geoffrey Boycott would be impressed with such a specific batting diagnosis as that!
Anywayz, the Wanqing One's been out and about again...
Started thinking of The Spur when I saw these American Red Indians performing and playing their traditional music at the Romford town cente this morning:
The local Phones 4U store now also has the extremely small Samsung X830 in stock, in a far more classy-looking black and chrome guise than the lurid 'blush' pink example that Orange has exclusivity to.
Dang, this handset is tiny (soz for the poor VGA quality):
Big quarter-scale model of The Green Goblin, inside one of Model Zone's display cabinets:
It's December, and this morning we experienced blazing blue skies again...(Taken from our rear garden, overlooking the neighbours' gardens )
The Poms think we're mad to still be braaing, like we did last night, but in all honesty, the weather has been exceptionally mild for this time of year.

The Indians are getting a proper bollocking
@da wanqsta: I admire how you manage to keep traditions alive during the Northern Hemisphere winter.
You shame the English by going against all common conventions for some action on the coals.

LOL, I guess I do in this regard; when we went to the local B&Q Warehouse (very big hardware chainstore) a few weeks ago to look for more coals, we got some funny looks and questions from the employees there... eg. " Are you sure you don't mean coals for fireplaces...? Summer's over..."
"So?"
Fortunately some of the corner shops/ delicatessans and the SA shops stock them all year round, unlike the big supermarkets etc, where all barbecue-related items are regarded (and stocked) as 'seasonal' only.
Some serious sosaties (kebabs to any non-SA citizens) on the coals last night:
A moody shot taken with the Nokia 3230 over suburban Romford yesterday afternoon; a crystal-clear full moon over a canopy of distant cloud cover:
BTW, a fantastic 50-overs ODI whitewash by SA! Good to see Smith getting some decent runs again...and SA eclipsing the 200 mark in the 32nd over!

Today will be an unforgettable day for Chiliboy Ralepelle; the first Black captain to lead the Boks and then an emphatic win over the World XV today in Leicester.

@da wanqsta: I thought we were done with hilarious names for our sportsmen...remember Cheese van Tonder, Vleis Visagie and Kleinjan Tromp? Now we have a new generation of BLACK rugby players and they've got some ridiculous names...Chilliboy Ralapele and Kabamba Floors.
What happened to Sizwe, Nkosinathi, Sandile and Thabang?

LOL, I remember Vleis Visagie.
I'll never forget when (Stefanus) Fanie de Villiers was bowling in Oz all those years ago, and the Aussies had this big banner during one of the ODI's back then (around '92/'93) reading 'Stick that up yer Fanie!'
Here's a few other choice names and nicknames from SA rugby, apart from the classics you mentioned, which you may remember too:
Giepie Nel, Pote Fourie, Koos Meiring, Mof Myburgh(!), Flip Geel, Tjokkie van der Merwe, Doerie van Deventer, more recently Os du Randt and who could forget that SA cycling legend, Ertjies Bezuidenhout!
Now how's this for a SA ID:
