Dumanny (sp?) gets a thin edge of Flintoff to Prior and its 7 down

Morkel hits 2 sixes then caught and bowled 134 for 6

Boucher bowled by Patel when he decided it would be a good idea to take a step back and then swish at the ball. Rather telegraphed the move and Patel put in a faster one that still turned a bit. 119 for 5 at the moment.

That's better. Laptop, glass of wine, SA on the rack.

Its at times like this I am glad I only live 100 metres from where I work. Right i'm off to watch the cricket. They better not get all out in the next 2 minutes!

77 for 3.

You wonder how many games of chicken are going on? Lowe was always the expert of giving clubs lowish offers, letting them stew and picking up players relativity cheap in the end and you wonder if we are on the receiving end this time hoping others coming in before people go for peanuts?

Back to the cricket and first SA wicket down. gibbs out for 12.

People who are optimistic tend to admit to it. People who are pessimistic are more likely not to admit it so hide behind the term realist. Confusingly at the moment I am optimistic about tomorrow but past experience has shown that that may not be good so I am pessimistic because of my optimism!

I am sure it is, not mine though. Parsimonious Edgetoslip isn't my name either

Neither. Its a rather boring combination of the initial of my first name and the first 3 letters of my surname.

296 for 7. Should be an interesting chase. Really glad to see freddie has got the hang of batting again

Given that the alternative was that he did not sign a contract and the hawks would then be on here questioning his commitment and that he 'wants away' etc I think the down sides to him signing a new contract are so much smaller than the downsides of him not signing a new contract that it would childish not to greet it as good news.

First time for everything I guess :smt048:rolleyes:

Maybe that's why we are getting in gasmi to make sure the medical staff are occupied

Scooby is definitely a troll. You only have to look at sundance winding up Daren W to see that he is almost certainly a troll as well (though a cleverer one than scooby). Besides that until Greenridge says who he thinks all these lowe lovies are I can't really say if they are trolls or not. All obviously IMO which is why I tend to put in lots of maybe's and most's as I would not want to come over implying any absolute knowledge (except for scooby who definitely IS a troll).

And I am trying to point out that most of the people doing the ramming of bias prolowe opinions are trolls who's only aim on this forum is to generate the ill feeling you mentioned and in terms of normal posters on this forum there are none that meet your description despite you claiming 'There are others of course'.

Almost certainly another troll but a more subtle one that scooby (its like good cop bad cop). I suspect though that if you ask him if he still would support Lowe if he became as axe murderer he would say no. Maybe he will say so himself?? So beyond those two who else do you think fills your spec for being a lowe lovie?

So by that definition the only Lowe-lovie is scooby and he is a troll anyway.

I thought he played in some of the preseason matches and did not appear to get the hang of it from reports?

In the right set up he is a good striker, no argument about that but in the current setup at saints he would be like a duck out of water.

If he is on a season long loan can we actually sell him before the end of the season? If not then not so much of a problem if he is out of the shop window for a while I would guess.

Ask im what?

Quite an achievement drawing a match that has to be finished on the night!

It all depends on which direction you pointed at the start.
