***Official*** South Africa in England

[pskov]

He was out LBW anyway.

Giving it caught was poor, but giving it out was right.

Kallis absolutely stonewall plumb LBW in the first innings, Prince caught down legside in this innings both given not out. England just got them out again quickly so they didn't impact as much. Poor decisions happen, until both sides agree to referrals (which I think are a good thing as long as no predictive element is used) then it's just part of the game.

So would I be at that price, until we get past these two I would back them tbh.

Smith is looking ominous. He could do this all by himself. Don't bowl short Jimmy!

 

[gio]

Cannot understand the bowling changes here. Flintoff and Panesar should be the boys, surely?

Quite. I wonder how long Napier16's whingeing will continue.

 

[gio]

Anyone feel that all this controversy is affecting England a wee bit? Seem a bit flat since tea.

 

[zaremba]

Smith looks good for a century here.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Stop feeding Smith easy runs ffs.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Again England releasing most of the pressure by bowling rubbish after the interval.

Gotta keep it tight to allow SA to choke.

 

[gio]

AB doesn't see what all the fuss is about.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Flintoff to get Smith caught behind in a 7-ball over soon. South Africa will then get to within 110 of the target, then Anderson will bowl de Villiers with a beautifully disguised slower ball. Boucher will get out playing a dirty slog, caught at mid-on and we will move into the last day with England a sure-thing for victory..

 

[grecian]

Middle stump, shut up Bumble, it was ****ing plumb.

LBW.......Not Out.............

 

[gio]

There's one for you Napier

 

[pskov]

Realtime that Monty appeal to me looked out, but not sure I would have given it as an umpire. I suppose if you think it is out you should though.

 

[grecian]

Smith was practically stood next to his stumps, it hardly had any ground to carry and it was bashing middle stump out of the ground.

 

[gio]

Pull the dive out there Sidey, surely.

 

[grecian]

Pull the dive out there Sidey, surely.

He doesn't look fit, and the Saffies could argue that he had the injury coming into the match.

More controversy, perhaps.

Poor over by monty there.
