Round 2 wrap:
Well not as I predicted but it happend all together. Lets begin at the turn around by the Warriors. After last round’s 2 losses they have won 3 from 3 in this round. The Cobras also played 3 games in this round and got a full house of results by winning one, losing one and one game rained out. The Titans and Dolphins each won one and lost one. The Dolphins won their game against the Knights by a nerve racking 1 run. The Lions sucking on the short straw and only taking the points from another rained out game home. This is how the log looks like now with 2 rounds to go:
1 Chevrolet Warriors. 20
2 Nashua Mobile Cape Cobras. 20
3 Sunfoil Dolphins. 14
4 Chevrolet Knights. 13
5 Nashua Titans. 9
6 bizhub Highveld Lions. 4
Lets take a look at the top players up to now:
Batsmen:
F du Plessis. 371
(Titans)
JT Smuts 337
(Warriors)
MN van Wyk. 290
(Knights)
Bowlers:
CK Langeveld. 13
(Cape Cobras)
SC van Schalkwyk. 11
(Knights)
M de Lange. 9
(Titans)
The SW top 5 looks a bid different this week:

Our leader from the first 2 rounds got everything wrong this week 
and is nowhere close to the top 5 anymore.
Now that the tour of Australia is finished the Protea players will be returning to their teams and that can bring significant change to the games the last few rounds. Remember that only the top 3 teams go on to compete for the title, then the outcome of the upcoming games is so important for each competing teams. This is the fixtures for next round:
23 Chevrolet Warriors v bizhub Highveld Lions, Buffalo Park, East London
23 Sunfoil Dolphins v Nashua Titans, Sahara Stadium Kingsmead, Durban
23 Chevrolet Knights v Nashua Mobile Cape Cobras, Chevrolet Park, Bloemfontein
25 Nashua Mobile Cape Cobras v Chevrolet Warriors, Sahara Park Newlands, Cape Town
25 Chevrolet Knights v Nashua Titans, De Beers Diamond Oval, Kimberley
25 bizhub Highveld Lions v Sunfoil Dolphins, Senwes Park, Potchefstroom
27 Sunfoil Dolphins v Chevrolet Knights, Pietermartizburg Oval
27 bizhub Highveld Lions v Nashua Titans, Bidvest Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg
I’m 3rd!
Good morning Superbru’s…enjoy your next round and good luck!
Glad to see there is another game scheduled for pmb
Pietermaritzburg Oval is a great place to be…had some great family outings there on Sundays…hope the Dolphins have a massive game at the Oval!
Hope it doesn’t rain though..slight drizzle at moment
But it still a few days to go till the 27th lol
Mickey Arthur is the new Aussie coach. 1st time ever that someone from another country coaches the Aussies.
@Ben: mickey arthur??!! Interesting..
@bergshark (Comment 8) : Yup.
To all the Pietermaritzburg Superbru’s…if you are at the Oval on Sunday…have a good time…! Maybe Maritzburg will have all four seasons in one day…here’s hoping the Dolphins have a cracker of a game…!
Cobras is hot this year. Tomorrow they wont know which team to pick with the Proteas back. Philander was ‘n doring.
@Paarlbok: philander was n doring..jammer ons veldwerk was slonsig
Sien AB, Rudolph en Tahir gaan vandag in aksie wees in Durban. Die anders gaan eers van vrydag speel behalwe Philander. Hy kry ‘n bietjie af.
Gaan ‘n nagmerrie wees vir die Kobras om te besluit wie om te kies. Graeme Smith, Jacques Kallis, Mark Boucher en Dale Steyn. Gibbs ook weer terug na sy besering.
@PaarlBok: goeiemore oom.wonder of die weer gaan saamspeel met die krieket vanaand?
Uit n dolphins oogpunt is ek bly dat philander nie speel nie .
@bergshark (Comment 14) : Kobras het goeie boulers. Seker as Kleinveldt dieselfde kans as Vernon kry sal hy net so suksesvol wees plus hy slaan ‘n bal hard. Langes is ‘n legend. Die gevaarlikste speler in die Kobra span is Levie. Mense maar hy het talent en gaan nog nog maak. Dis ons eie Warner daai.
Ek sou ook graag wou sien dat Darren Smith van die Dolfyne meer kans kry by die Proteas. Dis nie elke dag wat jy ‘n openingskolwer/wickey/leggie agter elke bos uitskop nie. Sou wou sien dat hy meer boul.
Genugtig!? N wicketkeeper batsman wat bybreekballe boul??! Nee oom Paarlbok,ek nie eens geweet daar is so n speler in die dolfyne span nie
@bergshark (Comment 16) : Ja hy het net noudie dag 95 gekry teen die onlangse game teen die TiTaane.

Ek hou hom al ‘n paar jaar dop.
Hy is 5de op die SSS kolf gemiddeldes met 63 lopies per beurt en 2de beste paaltjiewagter met 12 paaltjies.
Het hom lanklaas sien boul maar glo my hy kan.
Sy geskiedenis per cricinfo
http://www.espncricinfo.com/south-africa-domestic-2011/content/player/47490.html
Hy doen redelik goed met die bal in T20s. 18.05 lopies per paaltjie wat uitstekend is.
Myself natuurlik nie ‘n groot mik en moer liefhebber nie. Ek skel sommer die afrigters hier as hulle die laaities die moderne tendense leer van mik en moer kolfwerk.
Ek voel hierdie mini krieket wat hulle geleer word vanaf 7 jarige ouderdom is die verkeerdse ding vir hul krieket dissiplines.
@Paarlbok: dankie vir die info,oom.
@PaarlBok (Comment 18) : daai is die beste krieket info site… Laat niks te wonder nie
@bergshark (Comment 19) : My plesier. Persoonlik dink ek ons almal is skuldig om ons plaaslike provinsiale krieket af te skeep. Myself loop lyn met die laaitie en kan jou verseker dat krieket baie gesonde platforms hierrond het, nes rugby in die winter. Ek het nog nie DsTV lank nie en geniet die krieker veral.
@Franshark (Comment 20) : Dis verseker. Ek weet regtig nie hoe hulle dit regkry nie want hulle saai regstreeks uit tot op die vlakke
CSA Provincial 3-Day Challenge
CSA Provincial 1-Day Challenge
CSA Provincial T20 Challenge
CSA Under-19 Competition
CSA Women’s Competition
Waars die dae wat ons na Charles Fortune geluister het wat R2000 nie eers meer doen nie.
@PaarlBok (Comment 22) : en bal vir bal kometaar van elke game in elke land tot op junior vlak met statistieke op-datum elke dag
My belangstelling in krieket maar so met verloop van die jare getaan..eens op n tyd een van daai wat al 5 dae van n toets sou kyk,maar nie meer nie.
@bergshark (Comment 24) : 10 jaar terug het ek 5 dag krieket op radio geluister in die nag terwyl ek met vakansie was, moet se dat ek ook nie meer so erg is nie, te veel reen beinvloede wedstryde en te veel 5 dag wedstryde met geen wenner… Wereld krieket sal iets daaraan moet doen…
@Franshark (Comment 25) : Hansie Cronje het ook my aptyt geruk vir ‘n baie lang tyd. Ek verstaan nog nie hoekom ons net twee toetse teen die Aussies gespeel het nie? Ons speel nou 3 teen SL hier, 3 teen NZ weg en 3 teen die Pommies. Ons gaan Des volgende jaar Aus toe en net miskien speel ons 4. Hulle speel 4 teen Indie in die nuwe jaar.

Dolphins/Knights/Titans in a dog fight for the 3rd spot to qualify for the knock outs.
Well, I must say that; first of all I am cheering for the Dolphins,
but the Warriors are in good form. And Colin Ingram is showing a lot of promise for them, with his moderate Batting at the crease.
@Prohibitid (Comment 45) : and now even captain…….
No cricket thread today? Weather look fine this side for the top of the log clash.
Kobra side of:
Levie, Smith, Kallizzzz, Gibbs, JP Duminy, Boucher, Petersen, Steyn, Kleinveldt, Langes
will look good for this one.
Laat die spel begin!
