POLISHED ENGLAND SHOW WHY THEY ARE THE WORLD’S #1

IT’S A sporting feast, bangani bami! In the gentlemen’s game, there is some fast paced action in the Caribbean naseBhayi.

In Barbados, we witnessed a flashback moment as Sir Chris Gayle (should be knighted for services to entertainment, if he isn’t already) was wielding his willow. The “Gayle force” arrived in full force in the first ODI against England.

But, even with Windies posting a total over 350, they still took a loss to the world’s best ODI side. Now you know why England are number one.

The Poms should win this series to save face after losing the Test series.

eMzansi, it’s the final Test match against Sri Lanka. It’s day three vandag, mara the game is almost done – after carnage on the first two days.

All that said, the Proteas should bounce back and draw the series. But they have been given a moerse wake up call!

A skip pass to the oval ball stuff, with Super Rugby and 6 Nations on the go. My week one calls were amiss on the handicaps, and I was surely reminded of that (thanks Rowley).So, let’s try and rectify that. The Waratahs travel to play Sunwolves, who are licking their wounds from the basting they got from the Sharks. The Sunwolves patterns and idiosyncrasies can usually be worked out and I expect the Tahs to be on the ball.

Mr. Lover man “Shaba”, says go the Tahs points and all, the visitors will win by 20 plus, baba. Then there is Crusaders versus the Canes, in this week’s classic match. The Saders snuck in on the Blues and basically got away with murder, when winning by two measly points in Auckland.

The Hurricanes themselves didn’t give us anything to write home about in week one, but were missing ‘the dazzler Barrett’ at first five. The Crusaders at home are a tough team to beat and I don’t think this will change vandag, so go Crusaders on the handicap of -7 points.

Then the Brumbies play Chiefs in Canberra, where the home team seems to usually buck up. However, after the visitors marginal loss to Highlanders, the Chiefs should bounce back and win this game on the spread.

The Sharks came out the blocks nicely last week bru, but they will face a different test against the Blues. I’m a Zulu native and should always back our boys in black, moreso at the sauce of 11/10.

How the Blues are favourites is bewildering to most, but not to me. Last week, they were quite unlucky to lose at home.

The Blues have not beaten the Sharks in over a decade at dladla, but this may be the game to break that duck and give the new Blues coach his first victory.

Our local derby pits the Stormers against Lions at Newlands. The Lions will be moeg, but should chow the home team nonetheless. And by the minuscule handicap of -8 points.

Lastly, the Jaguares are playing the new and improved Bulls. This is a tricky game to call, but the Bulls are coming in hot and should do the deed. In the 6 Nations, the main dala is the Money man’s country versus the Poms. Les Bleus are against the Scots and Italy host Ireland.

All teams away should be the call, but the Frenchmen will dala – so watch out!

Moving onto some diski action, we have some lekker local match-ups, most notably Pirates hosting a resolute AmaZulu. The Sea Robbers have been struggling of late, whereas Usuthu are in the groove.

The Zulu fellas should come into this encounter full of energy, after a two week layoff. Usuthu will gladly leave Jozi

kusasa with one point in tow, I suspect this will be the case and I reckon a draw is on the cards. Other noticeable games are Polokwane versus Chiefs and the top of the table clash between Wits and Sundowns. These two games should be highly entertaining and the visiting teams should cash in on the three points.

In England, Arsenal face their bogey side Southampton, and Manchester

United host title chasers Liverpool.

These games will serve up one home win and one away.

You do the maths, lighty!
