*Official* England in South Africa

[Uppercut]

Swanneh the next Botham imo.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Currently averaging under 30 with the ball and over 40 with the bat.

Love it when the tail wags even if it's on the opposing team.

Love it when the tail wags even if it's on the opposing team.

Heh, I typically dislike it even when it's on the team I'm supporting. I don't mind seeing players like Broad and Swann score runs because they can clearly bat, but Harris and Morkel doing so genuinely annoys me, even when I'm barracking for SA.

 

[King Pietersen]

no they said Cape Town. But blame our selectors for picking Ntini over a guy like Philander who is hot in form and goes for 2.5 rpo. Anyway would have been better to play Nrini (who wasted the new ball) after winning the series. At least then there would be more reason to have a free beer.

I don't agree. Ntini's bowled pretty well in this game, and has been the pick of the South African seamers I think.

Swanny with another beautiful shot, takes him to 76 and the partnership past 100. This is brilliant stuff.

Miserable bastard

Great partnership lads, they'll be boring us all on Twitter about it for years, I'd of thought

He's going to get a ****ing century isn't he.

Worst thing in cricket the opposition tail doing well

I fear you have summoned the mocker Gods

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Switch hit again

 

[King Pietersen]

Nope, he's summoned the gods of the switch-hit I <3 Swanny.

Current prediction: England to wipe of deficit and make us bat chasing a target to avoid defeat. In response to our woeful selection of Ntini and De Wet, Philander goes kolpak along with Tsotsobe after realising that there is no merit in the SA team. And to all the boucher lovers: Kuhn has 1 less hundred than Boucher in 133 less appearances in his career.

 

[GIMH]

Whatever happens from here, we're very much still in the game. Great effort from these two, we've gone from a situation a few years back whereby it was five out all out, to the opposite

 

[chalky]

England review the no ball LOL

 

[King Pietersen]

Looks like Jimmeh's gone. Morkel took a clean catch but didn't look too convinced. Really need Onions to stick around with King Swanneh.

 

[GIMH]

Well played Jimmeh, you hero

Well it's when test cricket becomes less serious. Obviously the bowling team gets frustrated but for the tailender, I'm sure it's a joy for them to be there and doing well. Averages and all other bull**** goes out the window and it's just about survival or for most other tailender, to play some shots.

Great partnership from Swann and Anderson

I basically stopped watching the game to cook the bbq and have a few beers as I thought Eng was gone

In with half a chance now

 

[King Pietersen]

Swanny gone Awesome effort though, brilliant innings of 85 from Swann. Defecit of 62, not too bad at all for England considering how bad it looked when Prior got out. Just need to bowl well tommorow now.
