Consistently inconsistent

The only thing that I can say about the South African cricket team, the Proteas, is that are the most consistent inconsistent team in international cricket. That makes them a very dangerous team to play against because you never know who you going to play. After embarrassing defeats against Bangladesh...

Weekend Sport

What a sporting weekend. First up were die game between the Blues and Sharks and what a game it was. I think the Shark showed everyone that it’s not safe in the water with them around. They beat the Blues with rock solid defense and showing that mistakes will be converted into points. Second on the menu...

2007 F1 Grand Prix

This weekend marks the start of the 2007 F1 Grand Prix season. At the end of the season I think we will look back and say it was one of the most interesting. With Schumi gone and the other two top drivers of 2006, Kimi and Alonso, both in new cars predictions will be difficult. If Ferrari can produce...

Kobus, irony and Lions

On Friday last week we got a puppy, a 2 month old border collie. My wife called him Kobus, don’t ask my why. Well Kobus kept us busy most of the weekend, not that he’s naughty but because he’s a puppy. Don’t you think it’s ironic that our health minister seems to be very ill from symptoms that remind...

4 out of 5, IE7 and expensive toys with low ROI.

Well the past weekend was properly one of the best weekends SA rugby had in a long time in the S14. SA teams won 4 of there 5 matches, only the Bulls lost due to there own arrogance. What was exciting was the number of times that the backline players got to run with the ball. The last couple of years...

Changes and a lack of it.

For the past couple of days the weather in Cape Town reminded me more of winter than summer. February is supposed to be our warmest months but outside its raining cats and dogs. Last week was presidents Thabo Mbeki’s state of nation speech with the opening of parliament. We all hoped that he would address...

Super 14, governing a fool's paradise and Steve our man.

The past weekend marked the start of the 2007 Super 14 rugby series. Unfortunately the two teams I support in the series played against each other, the Western Cape Stormers and the Free State Cheetahs . Well the Cheetahs showed why they where crowed the best South African team for the past two years...

Why SA rugby will never be a force like a decade back

As I was sitting this morning at the breakfast table, reading the morning news paper I realize why South African rugby will never be a force like a decade back. I was reading an article about the Bulls third choice hooker that wants to go to the Cheetahs. The Bulls say no and now the parties want to...

Cricket

Wow, amazing, action packed, unbelievable. All words to describe yesterdays record breaking cricket match between Australia and South Africa. First Australia scored the highest international limit overs total, 434 runs from 50 overs. I think nobody believed that South Africa stood any change to win this...

Cycling update

Well, I've completed my first race as a licensed cyclist, and apprentice member of the Cycle Lab racing team. It was the Hyper to Hyper on Sunday, and I'm fairly happy with my results. I finished the 100km in 2:30 at an average speed of 40km/h, and finished about 8 minutes behind the main bunch, and...
