Cricket – Final word from Alfie of YFM
Pheww, THE CRICKET WORLD CUP finally came to an end on Saturday – for me the highs & lows of this World cup were most definitely the death of The Pakistan Coach, South African Bob Woolmer, who was found murdered in his Hotel Room, GIBBS six 6’s, The South African Team’s drinking Spree, The fat wobbly comical player from Bermuda who was the oldest player at the World Cup, Australia’s unbeatan run since the 1999 World Cup, India & Pakistan’s First Round Exit & Bangladesh’s victory over South Africa. By far Australia showed that they were the best from the rest of the Cricket World when they ended the tournament unbeaten & making history by having a hat-trick of World Cup wins. The Australian Captain RICKY PONTING was right when he said that out of all the matches they played not even one of them was looked at as a close game & he was right. I think they dominated from their first game & for me the heavy rain that came down meant the end of one of the most rememorable World Cups in the History of the game – from The Unfinished Stadiums, Heavy Ticket Prices to the Death of Bob Woolmer. The World Cup Curtain has closed & we hope to catch you again in four years time… ************************* So it’s over. We urged, supported, believed and enjoyed every moment of the Cricket World Cup. We were astounded by the incredible power and strength of Australia last night as they gave us a pounding that the team will need a lot of Caribbean rum to even begin recovering from. Congrats to the Ozzies on their win. We’d like to thank the equally optimistic Alfie Phokobye for his generous and entertaining commentary throughout the series… We wish him luck as his sporting star continues to rise. Represent! Alfie: I’m normally very talkative & very chirpy. well today I dont know where to start. I mean the australians dominated in all department & if u remember properly, I said on my column yesterday that they’ve got a psychological adverntage & boy did it work. The only thing that South Africa won yesterday was the toss & it was really sad to see the likes of Smith & Kallis go out the way they did, It really showed that their game plan wasn’t working & attacking the Aussie bowlers was out of the question but they kept on using the same game plan & were rolled over by a team that I think its the best Cricket Team I’ve ever seen in my life. We must all remember that this...

Support Michaelis 4th years CT tonight.
Lovers of art in Cape Town support the next breed of artists coming through the ranks by attending the 4th year of Michaelis School of Fine Art students at their “early friday pub” fund-raising and networking endeavours. There’s one tonight which is so early for a Friday it’s on a Thursday! Click on the flyer for more but here’s the scoop: We’re the 4th years of Michaelis School of Fine Art, it’s our final year and we need to raise money for a catalogue of essays and student’s work to be published at the end of the year. For this reason we have picked up on something that was started by graduates of a previous year – the early friday pub – which provides students, the art community (and anyone and everyone else, 18 and over) to network, party and shake their rump. Every week since the beginning of March Early Fridays have featured a different theme of music, DJs, dress code and other specials, while the tequila raffle has become a returning feature – lately forming part of an established artist’s special edition series (a future investment?!). We’ll continue Early Fridays throughout May, and possibly right till the end of the year. Upcoming Fridays are: Thu 26/4 – Early Early Friday: New Media DJs & VJs, bottle by James Webb. Fri 4/5 – Early Friday Art Stars: DJs Joao Ferreira (tbc), Suzie Bell and Ed Young. Featuring polaroid booth Fri 11/5 – Early Friday Sexy Death (rock night): assorted DJs and dress up Fri 18/5 – Early Friday Karaoke with competition, dress up and more Always 4-8pm, always The Waiting Room 273 Long Street, always...
