Parnell and fscking Kleinveldt in the test squad. FFS man!! What do Abbott and De Lange have to do to get a call up ahead of these mediocre hacks?

They are pals with the coach
The selectors are ultimately responsible for the squad.

Anyway I hope that everyone remains injury free so that we don't have to endure any of these mediocre second-stringers. Looking forward to this series. Any of you guys up for a get-together at any of the matches? I should be heading to the Centurion one :)

Nice!! Seriously contemplating Centurion!!! About 80% sure I'll go on day 1...

Centurion is awesome. We usually walked down from my cousin's house, then spent the day drinking beer, watching cricket and having a braai for lunch.

I don't think there is a better way to spend the day quite frankly....

I simply cannot understand Kleinveldt's continued inclusion. It beggers believe, especially when Abbot, de Lange and Hendricks are playing the way they are.

Perhaps if they sold some other beers barring Castle :D

Don't you guys have a long room or anything?
We normally buy seats to the Longroom in PE which has it's own bar, food & bathrooms.
Even waitresses sometimes.

It generally costs R30 more for a way more comfortable experience.
I can buy whatever drink I want at a better price.

My son can go to the bathroom or go get food without me worrying about him getting lost or nabbed by some paedo bear.

the grass is much more fun :D

And no one worries if you spill a bit of your beer. (not that I ever spill beer! :eek:)

I think Centurion has on or two wooden houses. But then I would rather get some box-tickets.
