    Australian cricket tour of South Africa September/October 2026

    That was the highest ever net run rate at Kingsmeed for an innings at 5.41. Next closest was SA in 2008 when we did 4.63 vs the West Indies. Incredible batting by Australia led by Renshaw. Sorry our boys are not doing well out there but I have to respect the quality of cricket the Ausies are...

    SA to ban cash sales of scrap metal to fight vandalism

    Banning it will do little. Same thing that happened with illegal cigarettes during the covid ban. The illegal trade will just take over and will provide less tax and more crime around it. In a country with this poor enforcement banning stuff does little.

    What's up with the endless Robocalls some numbers are subjected to?

    There are two types of people. The first type have a number for life. I have had my number for about 25 years now. I do get spam calls but it goes in cycles. Sometimes its a lot, other times almost never. Currently quit thank goodness. Then there are people who are dodging debt collection. They...

    Renshaw at 50. What a match for him.

    Russo-Ukrainian War - 2022 Edition - Part 11

    Kind of hard to not see the current deal as being analogous to FDR signing trade deals with Nazi Germany in 1940 while throwing England under the bus and demanding they stop bombing German stuff. USA showing its true colours here. Astounded that the general populous is accepting of this.

    **** Cancer

    So good news. He has the most common type. Acute lymphoblastic Leukemia. For kids under 15 the chance of survival and cure is over 90%. At specialized centers like the place he is being treated its closer to 98%. Huge sigh of relief. Still hard road ahead but that is at least good news.

    So best hope right now is a draw.

    Maddinson. Getting a duck of 33 balls in the first innings of a test. Is he trying to get dropped from the squad? This is not day 5 when trying to eek out a draw after all. Just not good enough in the modern cricket era.

    [USA] Ex-Cornell student sues fraternity members and college over alleged gang rape and claims several were punished with essay-writing

    The internet can be a terrible thing. Accusations are out. People are all acting like judge, police, and executioner. These guys with no due process or trial are losing jobs, being targeted by death threats (as is Jane Doe). People should just calm down and let the law take its course and not...

    Museums you've been to, would recommend, or want to go to?

    **** Cancer

    Just found out about a nephew with Leukemia. He is 10. Doctors seem to think its treatable at least.

    10-year driver’s licences coming to South Africa

    Eish. The relevant part for those due to renew soon: So hurry up and wait. Hoping they can resolve this before my card expires next March but not holding my breath.

    Hollywood's worst casting decisions?

    Thinking hard about this as sometimes it's a bad script more than a miscasting. The two I know a lot of people disliked from the comic book world would be: 1. Toby McGuire as Spiderman. Again, I thought he did a good job but most fans of the comics disliked it as Spiderman is typically an...

    Hollywood's worst casting decisions?

    Two that fortunately got fixed Eric Stoltz in back to the future. Refused to see the script as a comedy and acted deliberately against the script and director continually taking it in a much more serious direction. After 5 weeks of filming on the first movie the entire cast and crew hated him...
