Norwood's on Fire
You know, after a couple of weeks off I don't actually mind going back to work because I quite like my job. But how annoying that South Africa is the only place where the cricket falls entirely into my working day. Haven't checked the schedule for the fourth Test, hope there are a couple of weekend days involved next time.

Yes I've already had to dip into next years holidays to watch the next two days of the Test, gutted I'm not watching the whole Test but couldn't use four holidays early doors.
I think there is definitely a weekend involved in the next Test.
Well he did not jump before he was pushed but as mentioned a few days ago by a few people it looks like Ntini is going to call time on his international career and take up a Kolpak contract. BBC Sport - Cricket - Middlesex hoping to sign South Africa's Makhaya Ntini

Bloody hell, took Onions 5 balls to realize that he needs to pitch it up. This is poor stuff.

The field had been set for Onions to pitch the ball up to Harris and DeWet. 5 out of 6 balls were short of a length or just short and that is just criminal against the likes of Harris who really is a bunny when you pitch it up to him. The 6th ball was pitched up.
And Anderson pitched one up first ball next over and immediately earned his reward.
On a side note, the slip catching has been top notch today, both the Trott and Swann catches were excellent considering how fast the ball was travelling.

Cheers for the explanation mate. I actually missed the first 2 overs of the day.
As I type this Strauss is gone.

WTF, Steyn not opening the bowling.

He may have been a touch short, but poor stuff is a bit harsh.
The ball Onions got Kallis with was an absolute beauty. Great start to the morning for England with the ball, did exacgtly what they needed to do and wrappen the SA innings up sharpish.
However, Strauss was loose on that drive, big test here for England with this new ball.

Strauss needs to put the drive away again. It was the main shot that was getting him in trouble when he was out of form before, and now he's getting out playing it regularly once more.

Its the first time since his Napier 08 revival that a bowler has actually bowled to him their often TBF.
