I must admit that one of the best parts about this blog for me is the interactivity. I know for a fact that many owes that view this site are no slouches in the Sporting World and have probably encountered some hilarious and amazing incidents in sporting events around the world. Obviously Ive had some great expreiences at Cricket, Tennis and soccer matches. I want you owes to contribute to this post and write your piece for me regarding a memmorable Sporting Experience involving The Greats.

No childish, religeous or racist articles will be accepted.
Il start off with one experience that I have had that stands out
Venue: Centurian Cricket Grounds
Event: Total Power Series. South Africa vs Pakistan
As we all know in Kingsmead South Africa were chasing a modest Paki Total. They were cruising at 150 for 1 when Fierce Inswinging yorkers were witnessed around South Africa by Waqar and Waseem who were both in their prime. We all know what happened after.
So to Centurian where South Africa were still reeling from that melt down. Now the beauty part about our owes is that when thay smell blood they need no introduction. We were in a massive crew that consisted of the likes of some firece Cricket Fans (Asif Laher, Abu Loonat, Imtaiz Kola Anees, Hoosain Mayet, Myself. A thick Alipor crew that ARE NOT SHY. these owes SAY THEIR SAY.
Then there was another Cat a few rows away who kept on chanting in Gujarati "MAROR, MAROR. There were alot of heated exchanges that day between rival fans. The day was also remembered for Alan Donald mimicking a male mastubation action to the Paki Fans. This famous picture evidently made it on the Back Page, Lenasia Times. Owes like Cutty Amod probably started his column From My End because of this.
Also as Big Mac was walking back to the pavilion one of our owes(paki fans not my crew) yelled something to the effect of "Hey Mac, Why dont you put Bells on the ball so you can hear it coming" Mac started belting at the supporter. You know some owes. I can only remember what a India Pakistan Game nust be like. But this incident was in the phrases of the blog "In the class of Zak Akals throwing masala on a parcel on a cold Saturday Night"
Among the many games that I have seen, Two games really stand out when I think of cricket.
ReplyDeleteIndia vs Pakistan , ICC Cricket world cup 2003, centurion, with all the our guys…
Pakis scored a massive 273, Saeed Anwar I think got 100, But India bounced back winning the game scoring 276,
Sachin Tendulkar, the little maestro scored 98, but what a crowd, the stadium was literally jumping, crowd was phenomenal, “Sachin, Sachin” was chanted around the stadium, an absolutely electrifying experience. If you weren’t there u missed out big time on one of the greatest games.
Another is South Africa’s amazing victory over the Aussies, Wanderers stadium , THE Bullring atmosphere, MAGICAL, AUSSIES scored 434 for 4 a world record(Ponting 164) and South Africa WON SCORING 438 for 9…Gibbs was brilliant
Eb
ReplyDeleteMust have been brilliant, Hell I seen you on the highlights package on Supersport for three weeks after.
I agree Gibbs was superb. But lot of pundits are calling for Gibbs Head and saying he is klaar.
I know you a big cricket Fan. Whats your views. Toppies in the plaza are even calling for Hash to replace him?
Anybody else that responds to this comment. is Gibbs Klaar
Maybe my step lity will fill his shoes one day

To me probably da greatest comeback in da history of soccer was liverpools against ac milan...istanbul 2005..Half time..Ac3-0liverpool...Within a quater of an hour of da restart it was all square at 3-3,& wen shevy missed his penalty ..Everyone were in ruptures..I watched it again yesterday n man it felt good..Badat
ReplyDeleteWho could 4get ..Sa vs aus at England 99,wen we required a few runs to win n da big Sheep Mix Up between Zulu & donald,it was comical ,Zulu wil always remain my favourit cricketer 4da way he smashed dose sixes ,however his days are over..Badat
ReplyDeleteBadat I think the blogger means moments that you witnessed with your own eyes...........
ReplyDeleteUnless you were obviously present in Istanbul. The TV doesnt count.
Becareful you hovering on a Yellow Card.

Badat, your F@#kin idot, rather shut up... n keep ur comments to yourself and all ur lighty buddies in the farm towns...
ReplyDeleteRashaad Gibbs Mayet, opening batsmen Year 2015... lets wait n c!
ReplyDeletethis aint a comeback but one of the funniest moments ever at the cricket was once when Boje was bowling like an ass against OZ in 06 everyone ws booing him.
ReplyDeleteHe gets pissed and tells our owes shit . One uncle stands up and says "Hey Boje, what does that zero next to your name mean(number of wickets zero"
One lity chuns "Its for the number of degrees he turns the ball"
We were finished.
JoeyP
We were sitting in Durbs Kingsmead the once. West Indies were playing South Africa. A bally next door us had a banner "DONT PLAY WITH CURTLY BECOZ HE IS NOT IN THE MOOD-LY"
ReplyDeleteWE WERE TORN
I heard Yusuf Abdullah that plays for Dolphins is the same Lity that was a talented footballer for Lesco Under 10'S way back in the day.
ReplyDeleteMany of the owes will remember him as CUCCI'S BREW. THE Toppie used to drive the Land Rover in Mosquito Valley and bring the Lity's to the ball.
GOOD TO SEE OUR OWES MAKING A NAME
Speaking of Boje , i once heard okes call him a straight spinner, meaning he cant turn it an inch.
ReplyDeletei once wanted to start chanting" we got the worst spinner in the world, we got the ......., we got the worst spinner in the world" at boje when he was at the boundary.
i know this is a lil of the topic.but i would like 2 know if anyone thinks HASH will make the one day squad?his a bit slow but then again KALLIS is just as slow at times.what u think swoosh? . . .faheem_vezharz
ReplyDeleteSwoosh plz take notice as to who starts us of n leads to us givin unstructured comments,i wont say nothin,but u are aware now of who starts us of..Atleast give him a warnin or send him to 'the ban' badat
ReplyDeleteBadat read n then post, we all watch tv and can recall many great moments... we talking about watching live games fool!!! I think you need a Mike Tyson blow did you ever watch that on TV?
ReplyDeleteThe S.A Aus game was great... no one thoguth S.A had a chance... but they pulled it how... As for the comment on the Liverpool comeback... yes it was great... but the Italian Mafia told Milan to sell the game... You know how much money they made... where in the world do Italian defences let in three... they didnt concede three goals that whole campaign... ITs all about the money...Rumour has it bango was giving the odds...
ReplyDeleteFaheem Vahzerz I think Hash has maybe a season or two to go before he establishes himself in the one day set up. In the Tests he is definate.
ReplyDeleteBadat uts comments like yours above that will get you a second ban. We have no room for your squabbles on this website.
The Abu's vs Ali's Post was a pleasure to read without your childish comments
We dont like Cricket We love it
