*Official* England in South Africa

[Quaggas]

Broad runs him close tbh

Poster boy for the Loughborough finishing school.

Disagree strongly, but I'm glad to see *someone* actually got my pun.

My call about the tail folding like a deck of cards is looking better by the minute.

 

[Uppercut]

=') Ntini. WAG.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Suppose it happens fairly often, but a guy making his debut batting with a guy in his 100th Test deserves a mention.

 

[GIMH]

Onya Swanneh

Hopefully we can get to close 0 down

 

[Quaggas]

Not discounting the possibility that Swann is a more than decent bowler, but was the decision not to risk Steyn a good move?

 

[chalky]

Don't see how Swann's performance would alter the decision to pick Steyn or not

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Cook already prodding outside off. AB should have held that tho.

Harris to get a 5fer

Poor drop by De Villiers of all people

BTW Love the advert on this thread

"Find your African Queen"

But Harris would have played anyway

After seeing that, it is no wonder that he does not want the gloves.

Yes, but if the wicket had nothing in it for spin, it would've been hard to take 20 w/o Steyn.

 

[jboss]

Wooooooooooot

Can put money on him getting out like that

 

[grecian]

What a novel way for Cook to get out...

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

How many more times does Cook need to fail before he gets the arse?

 

[popepouri]

Let's go Friedel.

Not many, I hope - getting pretty sick of it.

Here's a difficult question - if you could force England to drop one player only, would it be Cook or Bell?
