We get like one match a year which always seems to be a rain affected draw.
Irks me no end as Sky has 4 specialist sports channels (plus Sky Sports News) and seems to play 24-hour golf on most of them. Few county games would surely be a better call.

Well the USA loves golf, so plenty of that at a cheap price

Don't shoot the messenger! Only going on what Jackman's told us.
EDIT: 50 partnership up. Kallis has comfortably outscored ABdeV too. Well, well.

To be fair to sky they show a hell of a lot of the county one day games and i think 2 4 day games a year, which is pretty good. Generally if you put the tv on in the summer theres a county game available more often than not.

Ah Jaques Kallis - the toffee apple surrounded by candy floss.

Err, there was nothing 'debatable' about it. It was clearly not out. WI back in the driving seat.

They still have about 40 minutes - it may not be needed. And yea, if light permits, they would probably go the extra half hour.

The last away Test victory against a non-minnow was in England in 2000! Back then, it was Walsh and Ambrose leading the pack. Seems like another age, doesn't it?
Seven years. It's got nothing on the 15 year dry spell that India had in the nineties, but its pretty amazing nonetheless. They've won four away matches since, but they were all against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.

Smith should not be criticised for that, his bowlers were the ones who failed to perform and bowling first at P.E is usually the formula for success, especially when the Eastern Cape has experienced one of its wettest summers in years and the West Indies biggest weakness is their batting. The captain should be criticised however for getting out to practically a half volley from Jerome Taylor and wanting to keep the partnership of Dumb & Dumber together.

Smith in no way deserves to be in the side. Captain or not, he is an embarassment and must be dropped.

Smith should do what Ray White suggested if he can not be asked changing or accommodating his game and bat at number five for South Africa. Imagine Graeme Smith against a ball that does not swing? It would be runs galore for the man, unless his playing in the subcontinent and then their could be problems for his a pretty basic player of spin bowling but it is a pretty decent idea from Ray in my opinion.
Smith would probably not go for it however, for he thinks he needs to open. To lead from the front and cover up ones anxieties.
