Sanjay: Already okay. And how many runs for Gibbs?
Hansie: Less than twenty.
Sanjay: Less than twenty?
Hansie: Yeah.
Sanjay: Okay, so everything is according to plan. They have to score at least 250?
Hansie: Yeah.
Sanjay: And if you score 270, it is off?
Hansie: Okay. And financially the guys want 25. They want 25 each.
Sanjay: Alight, okay.
Hansie: So that’s 75 for those three and what you can pay me? I do not know how much you pay me.
Sanjay: You say.
Hansie: If you give me 140 for everybody.
Sanjay: 140 altogether?
Hansie: Yesh.
Sanjay: Okay that’s fine.
Hansie: Okay.
Sanjay: And we will sort something out for the previous one as well.
Hansie: Okay, sure.
Sanjay: yeah?
hansie: Alright. So we definitely are on.
Sanjay: Okay and one last thing I want to ask you. You know just in case India bat first and if they get out for less then 250 and when you come to bat in second innings, is it possible that you could ask Gibbs to (throw) his wicket or try and score slowly and not so fast so that you know, may be we can get out of it.
Hansie: Okay.
Sanjay: And just in case India is out for less than 250 if they bat first.
Hansie: Okay I will tell him.
Sanjay: Yeah?
Hansie: I will tell him.
Sanjay: And because if he starts scoring so early then we won’t be able to get out of it.
Hansie: Okay. Not so early for the first five or six in the Indian innings.
Sanjay: Yeah.
Hansie: Okay.
