*Official* England in South Africa

Watson has him covered. Remember Swann is batting against a rubble which the Australians duly disposed of.

Yea but Swann smashed the rubble that disposed of SA.

Well Jimmy will enjoy having a bit of fun on here with the bat.

Steyn finally gets a wicket,could polish off the tail here and end up with tidy figures despite bowling dross.

TBF Graeme Smith has finished off two England captains

And looks like the poms will finish him. Surely he won't survive two home soil defeats. Admittedly his side his average but he hasn't helped the cause at times.

Find myself agreeing with Botham a lot today

I'd take Swanneh

England haven't won yet.It will be hard work to get 10 wickets on this pitch if the Saffers apply themselves properly.Then again they may choke and bottle it.

They'll be dog tired after so long in the field and quite humiliated getting this pounding on home soil aftet pronouncing that England would be feeling the Centurion collapse scars.

Bell gone, declare FFS

 

[Scaly piscine]

More poor captaincy. Should have declared at Swann's wicket as said.

 

[grecian]

Well thank gawd he's out, need to get bowled out, coz Strauss isn't ever going to declare.

Well done Ian Bell

 

[Scaly piscine]

Can you imagine now if one of these two tailenders gets injured?

Bloody stupid.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Why stay out there,What happens if one of these gets hurt?

 

[Pothas]

Yeah really well played, delighted for him as he always has come in for overly zealous criticism on here, obviously he needs to keep making runs now, something which i have always believed that he can do at 5 and 6.

 

[GIMH]

Please declare

TBF Graeme Smith has finished off two England captains

And he gets done twice by the one bowler. World keeps spinning

 

[archie mac]

Shocking captaincy, lets hope England run out of time, while they are well on top.

Aust will beat Pakistan because the captain has some balls, and England will draw this because their captain is a unich (spelling)

 

[GIMH]

There we go, don't really see what the point of that was but better late than never

 

[grecian]

Right, so we're not scoring runs, they're trying to injure one of our bowlers, we'll need all the time we can to bowl this hi-quality batting side out.

So WTF are we still doing out there.

Oh thank **** for that

Strauss might be saved by the saffers' tiredness etc. but this is hardly inspiring captaincy.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Thank god.

Oh and Australia will probably beat Pakistan because they completely outplayed them. But Pakistan still have a reasonable chance of winning because Ponting is a total moron. Look at how slow the scoring was in Australia's 2nd innings, you think they'd have scored that slowly having a free slog from 454-5?
