Oh no... deep square has gone back...

Queue Strauss holing out!

 

[Raghav]

Strauss is so good to anything that is short, short of length delivery on the middle and leg,

Queue Strauss holing out!

no

Strauss edged a slower ball to Smith at slip... It was a real shame that it didn't bounce up and hit him in the face.

 

[Raghav]

Nel comes in

 

[Perm]

Strauss gets lucky as the edge drops short of the slips. Be interesting to see how Nel handles his aggression bowling at these two, both of them prefer the short ball and can deal with it comfortably so Nel can't get himself too worked up.

 

[simmy]

Raghav... I am telling you now that he won't be able to resist the hook/pull and there is a good chance he will give the catch.

Nel on... come on... hit him round the park.

 

[Perm]

Looked plumb for me, suprised Bucknor took so long. Great start Nel.

 

[Raghav]

Out

 

[GGG]

Looked leg side first view, lets see.

Vaughan misses a straight one and here comes KP. This game could be decided in the next half hour if he goes.

Yes..

Strauss has a serious affinity for the pull shot. Although he plays it reasonably well, this shot has often got him into trouble. In fact he was dismissed trying that shot on most occasions when England last went down under.

 

[GGG]

Yeah fair call.

 

[Scaly piscine]

ffs. That's both openers who've done their fanny around and get out for sod all job.

Vaughan gone, LBW to Nel. England 37/2.

 

[Perm]

Looked leg side first view, lets see.

Hitting leg stump by the looks of the replay.

KP in now, this should be a great battle between him and Nel.

 

[grecian]

****ing liability Vaughn

 

[Raghav]

Hitting leg stump by the looks of the replay.

KP in now, this should be a great battle between him and Nel.

plumb infront!!!

 

[Raghav]

Vaughan's misery continues. This brings in Kevin Pietersen into the crease who has an average of over 150 against the Proteas.

 

[simmy]

Great ball by Nel and perfectly played by KP.

This could be the most intense half hour of cricket in the WC.
