South Africa bowl Australia out for 322 to win third Test and secure series victory, No.1 ranking
(Actually 322 wasn't too shabby. Pity about the bowling on days 2 and 3 - I think they'd given up)

Somebody's cheating...
300 is the highest score you can get in bowling.

It was painful Meade, especially it being Punter's last match. Though I have to say, the RSA players were more than magnanimous in their send off for him.

Everyone in the press, and side, was pinning their hopes on a brilliant last Captain's knock from Punter.
When you pin all hopes on the dying Captain being able to steadfastly bat solidly for two days to score an unbelievably amount of runs, then to paraphrase Darryl Kerrigan, you must be dreaming!

London slang for costumer, may also be used for "johns" (among prostitutes and police agents), people who watch porn movies or go to strip joints regularly.
No punters, no business.
2. punter
Also a customer in a shop/establishment.

The former Australian captain's famous nickname Punter was given to him by spin legend and his team-mate Shane Warne. It was a long time ago that Ponting became Punter and it has since then stayed.
Ponting has the habit of placing bet (punt) on greyhound racing and that is the reason behind his nickname. He recently told a website that he enjoys the "vice". Ponting also owns greyhounds.

The "bug sex" thread is far more interesting.
