  LMAO!

  For those who don't speak Afrikaans:

  "They were hit so hard, their teeth marched out their butts with a marching band and everything"

  Doesn't really translate well :-)

  But yeah, I can understand moving to a different country to improve your career etc, but once a seffrican always a seffrican I reckon.

  My favourite Scottish words on the telly (normally uttered by the obligatory Scottish DI [just cause its called Scotland Yard - doesn't have to mean that all detectives are Scottish, right?]) 

   

  - It's perrsonal

  - Looks like murrder

   

  Back to the r'ce - not sure why Paul would want someones Arrse in their drink (Bags might have something to say about that) - why would you want your drink to be warm?

  I think you mean "eish"

  Which is from a recent TV advert...

  eish is slang for yowsa, dayum, wtf...

  the advert references a transliteration of the word eish, from isiXhosa to English.

  Insurance salesman visits a farmer, is plied with loads of brandy and at the end of the ad, the farmer asks "nog een?" which in English is "another one?" and the insurance salesman says "Eish!". The farmer replies, "ja, met ys" which translates to "yes, with ice".

  Damn funny advert :-)

  And to get back on topic, I have a feeling Australia is gonna kick our butts in this 3 test series. Mitchell Starc is truly terrifying on his good days and we don't have anyone that understands how to play a left arm fast bowler who wants to remind everyone that he's back.

  We have some decent bowlers, but I reckon it's gonna be a battle between our batsmen and the Aussie bowlers that will decide this series.
