NPL 2024

Another blistering big hundred from Kaitano. He's on fire!!

The game at Alex has been abandoned because umpires deemed the pitch 'unfit for purpose'!

[Googly]

Who was playing there? That pitch is generally half OK.

Rainbow and Takas 2

Just needs cutting, watering and rolling to make it at least playable. Its a 1 hour job. You have to wonder.....

We should have access to the umpires' reports on that sort of stuff. The groundsmen must be accountable. A shit pitch is one thing, but an unplayable/unsafe one should just be an immediate sacking. You just gotta sack one dude and they'll pay attention. There's no excuse in winter. Summer you make sure the covers are on and there's a non sleeping security guard to stop someone liberating the covers for some chicken run roofs.
Should also have an umpire review board accessible to everyone with ranking points so we know who the tsotsis are. We know anyway, but good to have their names in lights. Captains should submit a report on what they perceive to be bad decisions and Langton and Vijoen review it and deduct points. We need to get rid of a couple of these guys. It's been a lot better these last couple of weeks. I have been really surprised and pleased that Rangers haven't been targeted...yet
But seriously had there been a team of predominantly whites in the last few years it would have been a shit show. They've been pretty even handed so far.
In fact in the Rangers Takashinga game the Takas lads got a couple of absolute stinkers.

Just tuned into the Rangers Knights game.
The pitch is soaking wet but either playing easy or Basson and Campbell are making it look easy.

Basson hasn't done much, but here's a guy with a really solid looking technique. Where are those talent scouts? One in UK and one relaxing at home

Surely they aren't still paying Jarvis?!

[Googly]

I'm fairly certain they are. I'm sure it's a contract thing and it was the only way he'd get to see the balance of his cash. I just can't think what else it would be.
We've got him, DH who seems to have taken a sabbatical and Hamilton who doesn't appear to do much. Three huge salaries for no return, plus they probably haven't finished Ratshit's contract, plus this terrible cricket ending stadium they're building.
It's a mess.

The Sables have just administered a rugby lesson to Namibia!!!!!
Unbelievable

Just wish the Parallelograms had done the same.
