Nice shot Bell.

Top shot Bell. What a player. I rate this guy so highly. Especially in test cricket.

Over pitch ...Bell hits for FOUR

Be interesting to see how many chances he gives today.

Anyway on a side note, 5000 posts have been made in this thread.

Has Langeveldt got quicker? He is pushing it through in the high 80s which I could never remember him doing.

Virtual QF....interesting

Man I am so nervous atm.

KP should be at 3, with Colly at 4 and Strauss at 5. That order would settle my nerves no end.

What's the feeling about Vaughan choosing to bat first? If the pitch slows down as expected, isn't he making life tougher for his own quicks when England bowl?

Lol. You just realised?!

When he has his rhythm completely right, Langeveldt is quite quick, yeah. I remember him touching 140km/hr on test debut against England a few times.

Vaughan is going through a terrible phase and he has not been able to rise to the occasion. He has just scored 113 runs in 8 matches with an average of only 16.14. He has to do something brilliant today to make sure that the team does well in this all important match if the team has to keep its hopes alive

 

[simmy]

Did that hit the stumps?! Yes!

 

[grecian]

England really using the power-play here

The over-exaggerated stereotype that South Africa can't play spin in ODIs probably had something to do with it.

Vaughan=woeful.

 

[simmy]

England should have bowled. Anderson would be causing all sort of trouble on this track.

 

[Raghav]

Swinging like a pendulam.....Tough to bat against that type of bowling

 

[simmy]

Vaughan=woeful.

Perm = stating the obvious

 

[GGG]

This is just bad batting by Vaughan, it's not swinging that much, he might as well just go for a slog.
