OK we are done in this cricket. I am so acid. Unreal how they could have put Australia out of this test at 203/1 and somehow managed to throw it all away on what is now a very good batting wicket. Bookies have us now at 4/1 and Aus at 1/2. Devastating.

I might need to tweet again how bad it's going. Can't believe how bad it's going.

I cannot believe how we have thrown this test match away from a complete position of strength into a proper position of weakness. Such bad application. Depressing.

That day was going really well until Australia used sandpaper at 203-1. Jokes. Not really.

Question to anyone who knows about all these “your call is recorded” calls with banks or telcos. Do we as a consumer have the rights to get access to our call recordings?

To go from 203-1 to 329 all out. What an absolute collapse. Bowlers better show up in a big way tomorrow cos this game has moved on at pace and a draw is out of the question now.

The Proteas just do not know how to operate from a position of strength.

"There is no water security crisis" Then goes on to detail that there is a crisis because of failing infrastructure, lack of maintenance and wrongful appointments. That's the crisis, you idiot.

"There is no water security crisis". That is the word from Deputy Water Minister David Mahlobo. Where problems exist, Mahlobo blames poor infrastructure, lack of maintenance, and wrongful appointments. Tune in to #eNCA, on #DStv403.

I feel Helen Zille has timed her campaign badly. Lots of good stuff months ago but I feel it's been quiet of late.

Yesterday 2 of our senior creatives went to the Portfolio Day for all final year students from almost all design schools/colleges in Gauteng. They asked one simple question: “what agency do you want to work at?” None of them could name a single one. What are they being taught?

Worth a read. T20 is trash.

T20 franchise cricket is trash sport and killing the red-ball game is cultural vandalism. What would George Orwell have made of this?

That has to go down as one of the all time great wins. Lost by 214 runs one week ago, put into bat during the worst time in this match, were 12-2, 92-5 and 110-6 and managed to win in fading light by an innings!!! What. A. Turnaround. Bring on Newlands.
