EP Amateur Cricket
Old Grey relenquish their lead the top, and PECC sneak into the lead undetected. Old Grey lost against Despatch in a shock result. No one made runs of note as wickets tumbled regularly and Despatch were left with a meager total to chase. The Old Grey bowlers, as hard as they tried couldn't get the final wickets, but at least managed to salvage a bonus point. Last weekend Old Grey Supers managed a resounding victory over Greenbushes, raising some much needed confidence. NMMU1 are in second … [Read more...] about EP Amateur Cricket

Can I have Your Autograph?
Over the past few weeks I have been 'conversing' with a PE boy, Clayton Morar, (I can say boy can I!) who moved to Cape Town to pursue his passion for autographs. Watching the dwarves in action at the Proteas vs India game on Friday made me think that maybe Clayton should start a school teaching the snotty little buggers a thing or two about how to collect autographs - like getting the name of the Indian cricketer right to begin with (those little okes sure did mangle a name or two in their … [Read more...] about Can I have Your Autograph?
