+cincol Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 The number of wickets lost by England are not shown but assumed to be 10 after 50 overs. The target for SA at 43 overs would have been 207 - so the match was already won at 42.5 overs!!! Quote Link to comment
+TeamDJ* Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Nope. Just a hint: A Duckworth/Lewis calculation under the rules in 2006 would have first set South Africa a target of 273 in 45 overs, and then reduced this to XXX from 43 overs. South Africa lost that game. Quote Link to comment

+the pooks Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Isn't it one of those poor sods who has had his tubes tied so when he tries his luck the bell rings to remind the farmer or ram (who has real goonies) to step in, so to speak?

+Carbon Hunter Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 The SA Army held a victory parade here (see photo) - it is famous for other vehicle normally - where is this? Quote Link to comment
+cincol Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Looks like Greyville Race Course in Durban or perhaps Turfontein in Johannesburg. Either way, a race course in SA. Edited April 24, 2013 by cincol Quote Link to comment

+cownchicken Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Goodwood Showgrounds? (There used to be Stock Car (Hell Drivers) races there long ago.) Edited April 25, 2013 by cownchicken Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Actually the army is South African, the location is not. So this was a Victory Parade at a famous venue during wartime. Quote Link to comment
+cownchicken Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I would think somewhere in Italy seeing as there were so many South Africans stationed over there during WW2. Quote Link to comment
