Yesterday’s performance of the Proteas against the 2019 World Cup Cricket hosts, England, reminded me of a nerdy, pimply teenager opening a box of condoms for the first time – clumsily fucking up the first few wrappers, tearing the condoms in the process and finally inflating the last two effies with his nose while stretching the lubricated mess over his forehead and ears. Even if he somehow did manage to pull it over his dick correctly the first time and get a boner, he would have nowhere to put that wood. Just like the Protea batsmen yesterday…
I don’t get it. England only managed to get 311 runs, so we bowled and fielded well enough. The required run rate wasn’t an impossible ask but South Africa was bowled out for a dismal 207 runs. It was the very first match of the Cricket World Cup 2019! Wat die fok, ouens?! England beat us by 107 runs at The Oval. Do you know how much 107 is as a margin? It is 21.4 times what Faf managed to score, because when Faf was standing on 5 runs, he tried to hook a ball by Archer. You don’t hook balls that early in a match. You hook them when you are in die fokken kak, my bra! Like at the middel to the end of the fokken game when you’re chasing a stressful score.
But Faf was not alone. All his tjommies were pulling effies over their heads. Dwaine Pretorius thought he was Duane “The Rock” Johnson because he tried to be a hero. He was run out in the most awkies fashion while he was trying to steal a second run when we really, really didn’t need that run, because we had all the overs in the world. We just had to keep our heads down and get stuck into the match. In fact, we had so many overs that we didn’t even use 10 overs and one ball:
“No thanks, we’ll take the 207! Can we get a doggy bag for the overs, please? Bietjie vol.”
*poep*
England didn’t really have to work hard for our wickets. They didn’t take it from us – it was more a case of the Proteas giving it away.
#NotSoSecretSanta
There were only three South African batsmen who really brought their milkshakes to the yard – Quinton De Kock (68), Rassie van der Dussen (50) and Andile Phehlukwayo (24) were the only three guys with #ProteaFire in the squad. They were the only okes managed to score more than 20 runs each. I feel very sorry for Andile, though. Shame man. We was doing really well but he became the victim of one the most spectacular catches in cricket history. Ben Stokes took a super-human, one-handed catch on the boundary off Adil Rashid’s delivery.
Jirre buddy, that was shit luck, hey? But what a fokken catch!
This now leaves the Proteas with a must-win situation when they take on Bangladesh at The Oval this Sunday. It will be their second match of this World Cup and they are already in the deep end.
Are they going to do their usual party trick and hang on for dear life to go home after the second last game of the World Cup? Or are they going to surprise us by sommer going home after the second game?
