*Official* England in South Africa

[Nate]

Love South Africa, but normally go the underdog. Hmm. Go cricket. (face)

 

[Nate]

Ah, it's raining. Fantastic.

You'll be supporting South Africa then.

I support England. Go rain.

 

[Stapel]

So, what's the forecats for the rest of the day? Will there be a start at all?

 

[Nate]

Extremely unlikely.

Raining cats and dogs.

Raining cats and dogs.

Its quite clear the South African weather system is gradually forcing the cats and dogs out, By 2013 i expect all the Cats and Dogs will have defected to England where they will get more opportunities to show off their raining skills.

Old ladies in Northants are rumoured to be shipping in the cheaper Kolpak cats to keep them company.

 

[zaremba]

jboss to start a thread about how he refuses to buy any South African pet food now that so many of his country's cats and dogs have emigrated to England

Kallis is out of the series. Fractured rib.

 

[chalky]

FFS Mahmood starts

Looking at South Africa they look a bowler short without Kallis looks like they will have to get 10 overs from Morkel.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hmm how many bowlers short would England be then?

 

[superkingdave]

Hmm how many bowlers short would England be then?

We can probably cobble one together between Anderson and Collingwood...so we're only 4 short

 

[four_or_six]

Good start. We need to just keep chipping away here.

 

[four_or_six]

Colly, one of the best fielders in the world. Definintely.

 

[Howsie]

Tim Bresnan Great start.

Mahmood into the attack

Edit: Second ball Four
Edit: Third ball Four Wow I didn't see this happening

 

[four_or_six]

I really really want Luke Wright to have a good series. I think he could turn into one of my favourite players in the ODI team.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Sajid has enough to contend with in the form of his crippling lack of talent without that sort of stuff.

 

[four_or_six]

To be fair, Saj is doing okay today. 5 overs for 23 with what should have been a wicket is pretty decent.
