Sportswave Diary - Chapter One
A relatively early morning for me getting to work at 06h30. A chat to Sky Tshabalala and then a quick search for the Neymar goal scored at the Olympic Games last night.
The fastest goal in Olympic Games history as the Brazil striker pounced on a defensive blunder in an eventual 6-0 demolition of Honduras.
Not great news for Africa with Nigeria losing 2-0 to Germany in the other semi-final.
I have gotten into the nasty habit of having too much coffee.
This did not change today with three cups down the hatch by 8am - I know!
I had four stories up on the Sportswave page by 9am, including a KZN south coast shore fishing update.
It seems Nyoni Rocks has been fishing well for shad.
I seem to recall a shark attack at that spot several years ago.
I have an exciting afternoon ahead with Chad le Clos due to arrive back in Durban at 14h45.
I wonder if he will be happy with his two silver medals?
I am also looking forward to the Test cricket starting in Durban tomorrow.
Dane Piedt reckons variation will be important for him in the opening Test against the Black Caps.
I am wondering if there will be added bounce for the spinner at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead?
Cell C Sharks and Manchester United are also on the menu tomorrow.
Sharks will face Boland Kavaliers at 3pm and United have an English Premiership date with Southampton later on Friday.
I am going to have just one more cup of coffee and after that only water and green tea - I promise!
