***Official*** South Africa in England

[Jono]

Wrong. Their Test averages are virtually the same, plus Hoggard hardly bowls when it's not doing much whereas Harmison bowls plenty in all conditions.

See Yorkshire's current FC match for example.

Harmison's no good. Time you acknowledge that.

 

[Richard]

You know full well the chance of that is zero.

 

[Prince EWS]

Harmison's no good. Time you acknowledge that.

Haha, indeed. If you want a Harmison-type bowler, pick Chris "I was awesome in a losing cause and then got dropped for Stuart Broad" Tremlett.

 

[Richard]

Awesome? No. Promising? Yes, certainly. But Tremlett's performances in 2007 certainly revealed a bowler with much to do.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Awesome? No. Promising? Yes, certainly. But Tremlett's performances in 2007 certainly revealed a bowler with much to do.

I think they'd go for Jones over Harmison or Temlett. Harmy is out and out for good unless something truely bad happens to Englands bowlers.

Yeah, Jones has got to be next in line, surely, even before Freddie, he's had almost a full season behind him after all.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Harmy is out and out for good unless something truely bad happens to Englands bowlers.

Let's hope so anyway.

 

[Richard]

I think they'd go for Jones over Harmison or Temlett.

And so they damn well should too. But if you're going by the "you must have variation" crap and therefore insist upon picking a tall bowler, Tremlett should be the man.

Quality rearguard from McKenzie, well played.

 

[Richard]

100 for McKenzie.

I see they picked out Mrs Mac (and baby Mac) in the crowd as well - nice moment for them. Third South African on the honours board this game - and Morkel only just missed out.

I can't stand how they do that in all honesty, they seem to show everyone but the player these days.

 

[stumpski]

Aw, it was only for a few seconds - emphasis is still on the player, as it should be - but I think it makes them seem more human somehow.

 

[Aamir Alauddin]

Is England really serious to make this series result oriented? Looking at this track it does not look so.

 

[Richard]

Don't judge a series on the opening Test.

 

[Richard]

So 229 for 1 today. SA are back in with a chance of saving this game.

 

[Woodster]

Excellent batting from SA today on an admittedly dead wicket. Was pretty obvious they were not going to bat as poorly as they had in the first innings but they still have plenty to do tomorrow to stop England going 1-0 in front.

 

[andruid]

This is gonna be a fun series

 

[jammay123]

i dont see england winning this match tomorrow

 

[Aamir Alauddin]

Don't judge a series on the opening Test.

Past behaviors determine the future behaviors. ECB officials are scared of losing another home series.
