Hore set for hefty ban
26 Nov 2012
New Zealand hooker Andrew Hore has been cited for an off-the-ball incident which subsequently hospitalised Wales lock Bradley Davies.
Hore hit Davies off the ball during the initial stages of last Saturday’s Test in Cardiff. The incident was missed by matchday officials, but Hore has now been cited and looks likely to receive a lengthy suspension.
The time and date of the hearing, before the IRB’s appointed independent judicial officer, have yet to be fixed.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen expects the hooker to be sidelined for some time. Hansen did not say as much, but has already called for a replacement ahead of the coming Test against England.
Dane Coles is expected to start at Twickenham.

The only problem is, you’d probably enjoy it…

@skopdiekan-20354: “morally objective ‘christians””… Me?
Yet another lie…
And they keep coming… the intellectually challenged copy and paste rather retarded dribble has turned into a raging stream…
No, I am not morally objective… I never claimed to be… I also have not claimed to be “Christian” either…
I have claimed respect for faith though… And I have claimed that you are a blasphemous, lying scum… Which you are.
Now stop being the mad vegan lying coward you truly are and man up… Face facts… You are one scared mofo…

A memorable day for SA cricket as well as Cobras/Western Cape cricket.Well done King Kallis on 13000 runs,Steyn on 300 wickets and Big Vern for ripping the heart out of the Kiwi batting lineup.Things are really looking up in WC cricket.Great young batsmen and young fast bowlers coming through the system.Proud to be Capetonian.Did not even touch on my Stormers sermon!!

@nortierd-20361:
yeah nortie… and i must put my hand as one of those… was a big fan of his before he even made the protea side…
but always felt he could and should have dominated more bowling attacks… but, as has be discussed often, he had a central role to play…
but happy to see how he has become a more positive dominant batter…
i believe the turning point came when he was first not selected for the 20/20 side… he said he’d prove them wrong and has become a far more authoritative, positive and commanding batsmen since then… IMO anyway…
and will deserved and recognised place in cricketing history without any doubt whatsoever…
and.. damn… he’s just lost his wicket…!!
2 Jan 2013, 17:09 pm
and will get his deserved and recognised place in cricketing history without any doubt whatsoever…
confused words due to the wicket falling…
2 Jan 2013, 17:09 pm
Hola. Happy 2013 to all.
2 Jan 2013, 17:10 pm
@ufo-20364:
Yep, you right, but look at his strike rate now.even today, 60 off 89.
He has a new lease on life, he can pass Dravid and Pontings scores this year, will be second only to Tendulkar

@willievz-20373:
absolutely…
@victoriabok-20374:
that’s the bushism i never forget…
2 Jan 2013, 17:22 pm
@willievz-20373:
Yeah, I guess its between Kallis and Sobers.
IMO its a tie.
2 Jan 2013, 17:24 pm
@nortierd-20367:Yes Nortie – 248 to get to Dravid (13288) and 338 to get to Ricky (13378).
I was hoping that he could get closer to them in this innings. I don’t think he’ll bat again in this test ! – but yet another half-century !!
2 Jan 2013, 17:24 pm
@Jeraldjay-20377:
Will give it to Kallis, those stats don’t lie.
Difficult to choose between different era’s though.
Imagine Bradman seeing the strokes the guys are playing today.
2 Jan 2013, 17:26 pm
@CharlesM-20378:
Thanks Charles, closer than I thought.
He is still 2000 odd away from Tendulkar, not sure he’ll get to that, but definitely should get past the other two
2 Jan 2013, 17:26 pm
Howzit Katman and Victoriabok !! Hope you guys have an awesome year !!
2 Jan 2013, 17:27 pm
@nortierd-20380:
will depend on if and when sachin calls it a day…
2 Jan 2013, 17:29 pm
@nortierd-20380: Yep, Sachin’s total might be a bridge too far but never say “never” !!
2 Jan 2013, 17:30 pm
@ufo-20382:
@CharlesM-20383:
True, will be awesome if he does pass Sachin’s score.
2 Jan 2013, 17:30 pm
@CharlesM-20381:
Dankie Charles, selfde vir jou en jou familie
2 Jan 2013, 17:31 pm
Hope Petersen get’s his ton.

2 Jan 2013, 17:32 pm
@nortierd-20379:
Kallis is ahead on stats but Sobers is way ahead in terms of entertainment value.
Sober epitomised calypso cricket.
2 Jan 2013, 17:32 pm
Think the new definition for an optimist in SA can be someone who buys tickets for days 4 and 5 at Newlands.

2 Jan 2013, 17:36 pm
@victoriabok-20385: Dankie !! I’ll be home over the weekend and have a look at those sites!
Nortie and Ufo – Sachin on 15645 – still 2605 to go – quite a long way!!
Any ways I’m out for the next couple of hours to visit relatives and to have some fun / dinner !!
Enjoy all!!
2 Jan 2013, 17:36 pm
@Jeraldjay-20388:
No argument there, but Kallis brought much more value to the SA side over the lean years.
Look at him now without the pressure and knowing Hash, Biff or AB is good for some runs.
Will never disrespect Sobers in any way, he was awesome, but if I had to choose, it would be Kallis.
Remember, it’s my personal choice, so anybody is free to disagree, that is what these type of discussions are all about, personal choices.
2 Jan 2013, 17:37 pm
@victoriabok-20393:
He he, I prefer your definition.
2 Jan 2013, 17:37 pm
@CharlesM-20394:
yip… still a long way to go…
cheers charles have a great evening…
i’m outta here too…
cheers and good evening all…
2 Jan 2013, 17:38 pm
Kallis to 13000 in 159 tests versus Sachin 163, Ponting 162 and Dravid 160 and his average of 56.94 is higher than all three as well and UFO says he hasn’t dominated sides as he would have liked
. Maybe I’m missing something ;wink:.
Ufo only joking mate and I know exactly what you mean, he had the potential to be destructive but I think when he came into SA’ s test side we weren’t a dominant force and just getting back from isolation. He didn’t have the luxury that say Ponting had in terms of walking into an established side and always having a bowling attack to support the batting and enable one to play with a little more flair and aggression.
2 Jan 2013, 17:38 pm
@CharlesM-20394:
Cheers, thanks for the info.
Have a great evening
2 Jan 2013, 17:40 pm
@bananaboy-20398:
Thanks, my point exactly, only you have said it so much better than I ever could.
Agree 100%
