SA Test Series

[fosseboy83]

I didn't think Onions had it in him with the bat and probably wouldn't have last much longer. but good final over from the lad

 

[Willlow]

The last couple of overs was horrible to watch.

I bet after the final ball KP breathed a sigh of relief, his run out saw a mini collapse and you could have guaranteed that the media would have concentrated on that rather than Bell's and Prior's failings

mini collapse?

 

[Willlow]

mini collapse?

Well it would have a complete and utter collapse had it not been for Onions :icon_wink

 

[glyn]

Unchanged team, S.Africa win toss and bat, Anderson gets Prince early doors. 4-1

 

[fosseboy83]

cook makes century, currently 249-3 chasing 343. 1st innings

 

[bocadillo]

South Africa have collapsed to 74 for 6 in their second innings. Still need another 156 to avoid an innings defeat with more than a day still to be played.

 

[SJN-Fox]

Bad light stopped play with SA 76-6, 153 behind!!!

 

[bocadillo]

It's finished - won by an innings and 98 runs!

 

[fosseboy83]

Swann has been immense

 

[SJN-Fox]

Swann has been immense

He was a student at the school where I last worked. His dad was a maths teacher there ... Geordie, used to upset all the women teachers by calling them pet.

 

[glyn]

Good opportunity lost today with Kallis getting yet another dull but solid century. Listened to the last hour and it seemed England were drifting towards close waiting for the new ball. Shame, as they made a good start

 

[bocadillo]

Kallis out second ball of the day and the other three soon follow him - 291 all out.

But England have already lost 3 wickets for 36 runs. SEVEN wickets today already.

Now 46 for 3.

South Africa back with the bat after tea?

 

[Willlow]

133-4 @ Tea

Bell and Cook managing to put a little partnership together. They really need to be there at the end of play if we want any chance of getting a result

Thats not gone well......

 

[fcukcov]

Broad gone 225/7. We are gonna be behind before they bat again.

 

[H T B]

It's certainly a topsy turvy game. 50 behind with 3 wickets left at end of play.

 

[Willlow]

Another 30+ runs tomorrow morning and it will all be in the balance again.

 

[fcukcov]

Well we have ****ed this one up. Only 17 runs behind all out and then go and let them get 153-1.

 

[H T B]

Now 265 -2, another second innings to save the test for England.
Here's hoping!
