Hockey never gets much of a plug in South Africa but two of our players have managed to qualify for the Men’s and women’s World All Star teams which is a fantastic achievement considering that hockey is an amateur sport in this country.
Congratulations to the SA Men’s captain Austin Smith, and joint women’s captain Marsha [...]

One of my mates has just sent me a link to this article on Sport24 which says that Tiger Woods has checked himself into re-hab…
Hahahha I think this quote is brilliant – “He has been there for a few days since his handlers forced him to enter the programme. They feel that if he blames his cheating [...]

I was cheering Aston Villas’ hard-fought draw with their “more fancied” rivals from Liverpool and then bloody Fernando Torres strolls in and knocks home a last-minute winner.
Talk about a good way to spoil an evening for a Villa fan.
Anyway that was my grumble for this morning - what’s the weather like in Durban? Is the rain [...]

I drove by the new Nelspruit football stadium for the 2010 World Cup earlier this week – Geez it looks impressive from far out!
A really good advert for the city of Nelspruit – think they just need to sort out that last bit of roadworks and then it will be ready to welcome the international tourists.
The [...]

I have made two changes to my side with Graeme Swann replacing [...]

I have just read that Wayne Parnell has been dropped from the Proteas test side for the next two test matches against England with the selectors reducing the squad from 15 to 14.
Pardon my ignorance but we are battling to take 20 test wickets on a pitch which has been relatively helpful to seamers and [...]

Yes please! Liverpool down, Aston Villa wins and believe it or not Fulham even managed to give Manchester United carrots.
I missed this last night but I believe that Mark Hughes has been sacked as the Manchester City boss… the year hasn’t really worked out for them in quite the way their big spending backers would [...]

But I reckon they will battle to beat Portsmouth today.
Maybe I am just being a bit nasty but things just aren’t going their way at the moment and Portsmouth fans won’t miss any opportunity to remind the men in red about this.
C’mon Portsmouth!
