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.

Robbie “Air Punch” Petersen and Rory “Fatty” Kleinveld taking two wickets each after Rory helped Elgar to reach his maiden century must have bugged the bejeezes out of John Galt.
============================================================
Congrats Elgar. Well done boy. Keep it up.
Question: Is Elgar the son of Allan Elgar, former WP opener? Anybody!!!
If he is, what a tribute to his father. Coming back from a pair on debut (1st SA player to suffer that feat) to scoring a century in only his 3rd test. A credit to his top 3 inches.

Dean is a Welkom lad …
&
the normally accurate Wisden does not indicate any family relationship between Dean and Allan.

@nama1-23351:
Indeed.
And how was the average player faf?
13 Jan 2013, 07:54 am
Yes Nama, I can confirm that Allan is his dad (as Gunther has said as well))

@nama1-23351:
Surprised you never mentioned Philander you assclown. Still searching are you?
These black caps are special. Proteas loving this series for their averages.
13 Jan 2013, 11:10 am
Another one gone!
How long will the match last ?
13 Jan 2013, 11:16 am
@CharlesM-23356:
Morning Charles.
Perhaps over by today or early tomorrow?
13 Jan 2013, 11:18 am
Morning all. Happy New year to everyone. Go Boks and Go Proteas.!
13 Jan 2013, 11:22 am
Hi Nortie I guess the Black Caps will put up a similar “fight” in the 2nd innings asa they did at Newlands
The only good thing as mentioned by J Galt is that the SA players can get their averages up !
13 Jan 2013, 11:23 am
As, not asa
13 Jan 2013, 11:24 am
A fiver for Dale ?
13 Jan 2013, 11:26 am
@stormersboy-23358:
Happy belated New Year’s to you too.
@CharlesM-23359:
I’m just glad they are not sitting back and expecting it to fall into their lap.
Seems like this team has learnt some lessons and are going full out and have developed a bit of mongrel and killer instinct.
Steyn is on fire, another one down
13 Jan 2013, 11:26 am
@CharlesM-23361: There’s your answer mate!
13 Jan 2013, 11:27 am
@CharlesM-23361:
These NZ batsmen are literally s.hit scared out there.
13 Jan 2013, 11:27 am
@nortierd-23362: Thanks boet.
Second innings before lunch??
13 Jan 2013, 11:29 am
@stormersboy-23365:
Probably 2 down by lunch
13 Jan 2013, 11:32 am
@nortierd-23366: At this rate it will be all over by the close of play today.
Sad really.
13 Jan 2013, 11:36 am
Bloody fiasco
13 Jan 2013, 11:37 am
Sri Lanka looking to square the series against Aus.
13 Jan 2013, 11:39 am
@I am a stormer-23369:
If they don’t get 170 it will be the start of another commission.
13 Jan 2013, 11:40 am
@nortierd-23370:
Don’t go there.
But the Lankans are more competitive at the shortened versions.
13 Jan 2013, 11:44 am
How was that chirp from Dale to Wagner: “nice country hey, ….enjoy your 2 innings today!”
13 Jan 2013, 11:47 am
@CharlesM-23372: Classic!
13 Jan 2013, 11:52 am
Time perhaps for Kallis to have a bowl ?
13 Jan 2013, 11:55 am
Poor Rory. Brilliant yesterday, getting hammered today.
13 Jan 2013, 12:01 pm
Mcullum and Hesson are the jokers in the kiwi pack
two average and mediocre individuals with inflated senses of their selves
there is a wealth of psychological work here.
13 Jan 2013, 12:08 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-23376:
Both have delusions of grandeur.
13 Jan 2013, 12:13 pm
Poor Kiwis.
13 Jan 2013, 12:18 pm
@I am a stormer-23377:
absolutely.

Is this the sign of things to come?Afrikaner desperation or is it the work of paramilitary groups?Weapons are expensive and the need to fund it somehow.
Durban – A gang of heavily armed, white men, possibly with military training, is thought to be behind a spate of ATM bombings in small towns in KwaZulu-Natal, it was reported on Sunday.
The Sunday Tribune reported that the gang was believed to be responsible for at least four ATM bombings in recent weeks. CCTV footage had revealed that its members were white men.
“It would appear that the type of crimes perpetrated by whites has changed and this is a very high profile turn,” criminologist Nirmala Gopal told the newspaper.
“Perhaps white people are getting more desperate, considering that they are turning to such violent means.”
Research suggested that security experts of police officials were often part of ATM bombing gangs, and that mining industry explosives experts were also sometimes involved.
Captain Thulani Zwane told The Sunday Tribune that the Hawks were investigating the crimes.
He said some arrests had been made, and that those arrested did not have police or military training.
The gang was believed to have carried out ATM bombings in Nottingham Road, Howick, Merrivale and Greytown.
It was also thought to be responsible for murdering Constable Vidhur Jadoo, of the Pietermaritzburg dog unit, and wounding his partner Warrant Officer Livingston Mpangase.

Hore, huh, yeah
What is he good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
Hore, huh, yeah
What is he good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y’all
Hore, he ain’t nothing
But a heartbreaker
Hore, friend only to the undertaker
Ooooh, Hore
He’s an enemy to all mankind
The point of Hore blows my mind
Hore has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die
Aaaaah, Hore-huh
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting Hores these days
Hore can’t give life
He can only take it away

Not any more.
13 Jan 2013, 12:31 pm
This Cricket Test is a good game to win from here.
McCullum and Guptill just need to stick around for 3 days. Then you Okes are fcuked.
13 Jan 2013, 12:32 pm
3 for no wicket so far.
Game going according to plan.

@cane-23384:
Now you see – you too have delusions of grandeur.
SA just needs the Boks to emulate the Proteas.
13 Jan 2013, 12:39 pm
@I am a stormer-23386:
There are some in NZ who take delight in Our Cricket Teams performances.
They see it as just retribution for NZC being a bunch of pricks.
13 Jan 2013, 12:41 pm

@cane-23387:
The board of CSA has been no different. One board member – anonymous obviously – said that in 9 meetings in the past 12 months, not once was cricket discussed or transformation for that matter. Everyone was just fighting for their political survival, outcomes of discipliniaries etc.
Sports administrators in this country are of the same ilk as our notorious and illustrious politicians – what’s in it for me. And stuff the sport.
13 Jan 2013, 12:48 pm
@CharlesM-23388:
Piece of cake Charlie.
One of Test Crickets greatest come-backs is about to flower.
Actually it Will be Test Crickets greatest come-back…………………………………..forget the “one of”. this is it.
