Australia conquered… again!
Deservedly the Proteas reaffirmed their position as the best test side in the world with an outstanding display in the third and final test. We all were a bit disappointed after the first […]
One Pint of Bitter, please barman
On Saturday night, the English team were drowning their sorrows, as yet another opportunity to beat South Africa, slipped through the cracks. The pub they were sitting in, is one of those typical […]
Oh, to be in England
It was quite scary, reading on Monday morning of the late citing of Eben Etzebeth. I quite like the way Gavin Rich put it: After a marathon disciplinary hearing, it was confirmed by […]
