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.

Then we heard the news of Morne v d Merwe, rugby player from SA but played for Wellington in NZ – brain tumour and not long to live

Hi Charles, I read about the deaths, sad, but a daily,hourly and a by the second occurrence. For those that knew these people very tragic.
5 Jan 2013, 20:54 pm
Best way not to have to worry about losing weight is not to put it on….apparently dieting is a b*tch and can make the partners life a bit hellish when you have to eat the same foods lol….am a bit opbeskof or onbeskof…..whatever the word is that Dawn uses when feeling a bit aggro or out of sorts.
5 Jan 2013, 20:56 pm
Sure Tree but the 2 deaths were not natural which makes it even worse! Like you said, it happens so often, yet so very sad !
5 Jan 2013, 20:58 pm
Onbeskof is the word lol!!
Yes but she knows I’m not into diet food !!

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-21312: Ja, I reckon those two old Dutch ladies you posted about in the early thousands have much more kick left in them than this one has.

please tell me what it is?

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-21317:
I watched that live:
Warne vs Marlon Samuels: Samuels throwing bat in general direction of Warne without any intention of actually hitting Warne (he threw bat way over Warne’s head), after Warne needlessly threw the ball at Samuels (ball striking Samuels on chest area) without a snowball’s hope in hell of catching Samuels out of his crease. Warne was looking for k_a_k with Samuels all day long (just like a yapping brakkie).
He’s farkin lucky Samuels didn’t grab him by his new-fangled pencil-neck… Samuels was provoked & showed remarkable restraint… imo

@Angostura-21318:
a mini version of Lillee vs. Miandad:
“Lillee vs Miandad
Described by Wisden as “one of the most undignified incidents in Test history”, the clash between Lillee and Pakistani batsman Javed Miandad occurred during the first Test at Perth in 1981.
Miandad turned Lillee behind square for a single, and in completing an easy run, he collided with the bowler. Eyewitnesses agreed that Lillee was to blame and most observed that he had deliberately moved into the batsman’s path. The two players’ versions of events differ … As Lillee turned to go back to his mark he maintained that Miandad struck him from behind with his bat; Miandad countered with the claim that Lillee had kicked him as he passed. What isn’t in doubt is that Lillee then turned to confront Miandad, and Miandad lifted his bat above his head as if to strike him. The unedifying images of Tony Crafter, the umpire, stepping in to hold back Lillee while Miandad wielded his bat like a deranged javelin thrower were beamed around the world. … The media were in no doubt where the blame lay–with Lillee. Bob Simpson, the former Australian captain, wrote that it was “the most disgraceful thing I have seen on a cricket field”. Keith Miller, in the Sydney Sunday Telegraph, added that Lillee “should be suspended for the rest of the season,” and Ian Chappell added that Lillee’s actions were those of “a spoiled, angry child”. But Greg Chappell, Australia’s captain, supported Lillee and … even suggested that it has all been part of a plot by Pakistan to entrap Lillee. The Australian players–who sat in judgment on such matters in those days–announced that Lillee would be fined A$200, a decision which attracted almost as much anger as the incident itself. The two umpires complained at the leniency of the punishment, and the Australian Board acted swiftly, reducing the fine to A$120 but adding a two-match ban. Cynics noted that the punishment ensured that Lillee missed two fairly low-key one-day internationals, and none of the Tests.”

I would’ve donnered him right through his plastic face.

He was swearing and verbally abusing the guy. They had to turn off his mike.

Shane Warne – great cricketer but a bit of a query though – however there’s nothing wrong with his girlfriend!!!

That may be so … but notwithstanding some are not averse to a bit of divine brown on the side …

Is the Hore stil living ?
7 Jan 2013, 03:26 am
She’s in ICU now and the doctors have been summoned…
7 Jan 2013, 05:59 am
morning all…
it obviously won’t carry on in the same way it did over the holidays when there was nothing else to chat on…
but the thread with keep ticking over with a few posts a day… and then spring to life like a namaqua daisy field when it nears a 1000…
and then tick over again…
and then burst to life again…
so don’t fret…

having watched the Warne incident my feeling is he’s overstayed his welcome in top flight cricket and is showing signs of frustration at not being able to do what his still young mind wants from his now much older body.
7 Jan 2013, 07:53 am
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-21328:
So he takes it out on Marlon
7 Jan 2013, 08:16 am
I believe the Aussies call it a stoush.
Warney has been suspended for a match and Marlo ( the bookies favourite) has a broken eye.
7 Jan 2013, 08:21 am
Surprising that Samuels got nothing for chucking his bat but there you go.

@gunther-21330:
Warnie’s just upset they fined him when he was expecting a bonus!
His WWF antics will draw more attention to Big Bash League than anything else.
7 Jan 2013, 08:27 am
@WP-Forever-21333:
Warnie is a marketing machine.
They probably bunged him some wonga under the table.
I’d love to see him giving it the full treatment against the sweaty poms in the ashes.
Sadly these comebacks never end well.
7 Jan 2013, 08:30 am
@gunther-21334:
The poor bugger has been giving Big Bash his all.
Even drags his wife-to-be out to entertain the crowd.
What a winner.
7 Jan 2013, 08:32 am
@Dawn-21329:
i dont know what you want me to say?
sure it was bad and he deserves the punishment he’s received. probably Samuels will be punished too.
7 Jan 2013, 08:33 am
@WP-Forever-21335:
His team mates are not very happy with him though.
He missed a game to go to Scotland with the Hurler and then was so jet lagged when he came back he looked like someone had tied his shoelaces together.
7 Jan 2013, 08:36 am
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-21336:
Marlo is out with a broken eye.
He should certainly have been fined for throwing his bat.
Reminded me of Javed Miandad (another bookies favourite) trying to remove Dennis Lillee’s head with his Slazenger.
7 Jan 2013, 08:38 am
Warne’s face leaves continually uneasy.
there’s a lesson in there for any man who’s toying with the idea of having plastic surgery. either dont use the same surgeon he has or at the least adopt a less is more approach with these matters.
7 Jan 2013, 08:40 am
@gunther-21337:
I’m sure he made up for it when he shared some of the photos of her on his phone with the lads.
7 Jan 2013, 08:44 am
@gunther-21338:
yip agreed.
they both deserve censure imo too.
Samuel’s injury, which is pretty bad, has probably pushed back his disciplinary hearing.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-21339:
Warne’s face leaves ME continually uneasy.
7 Jan 2013, 08:52 am
He threw his bat cos plasticface Warne chucked the ball against his arm.
7 Jan 2013, 08:56 am
I would love to see somebody try to provoke Jacques Kallis.
I reckon he could have been a heavyweight boxer in another life.
7 Jan 2013, 09:05 am
@Dawn-21343:
Now now Dawnie my lovely.
Provocation is no defence.
Ask Eben.
7 Jan 2013, 09:08 am
@gunther-21345:
Indeed.
Who, out of the current crop of international cricketers, would you back most in a prize fight?
7 Jan 2013, 09:09 am
There seems to be history with the Samuels brothers in Oz.
His elder brother Robert toured there for the West Indies and was sledged so badly he left the field in tears.
He never played for the Windies again.
7 Jan 2013, 09:10 am
@WP-Forever-21346:
Biff.
Mind you I reckon Hash knows some Jedi mindshit.
7 Jan 2013, 09:16 am
Decent looking SA ODI squad for the Black Caps. Would definitely have had Miller in for Ingram though. And perhaps Davids for Behardien. Davids age may have been an issue for the selectors.
Quinton de Kock is going to become a Protea legend. Unbelievable talent.
AB de Villiers, Hashim Amla, Farhaan Behardien, Quinton de Kock, Faf du Plessis, Colin Ingram, Rory Kleinveldt, Ryan McLaren, Morne Morkel, Robbie Peterson, Aaron Phangiso, Graeme Smith, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe
7 Jan 2013, 09:17 am
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-21341: It indeed has.
