Whinging Saffies - oooh what a surprise

This.

Was Broad running to field the ball and used his foot as a last resort to stop it, or did he just walk on it or something like that?

omg wicket

I went to see what Smith's career average was now (50.4) and every Saffer batsmen has an average of 10+

:O

Yeah they don't really have a number eleven. To balance that out though they don't really have anyone good enough to bat #8 - their tail is essentially three number nines and a number ten.

True, it's a bit of a catch-22 when tossing up between Morkel and Harris (and Steyn) for that spot.

Yes, why not? Not only that, but Anderson picking at the ball and now England are using up 4 to 6 minutes between overs. Why resort to this sort of thing? They beat us fair and square every match this tour so far. Very dissappointing! and disrespectful. To their opponents, the cricket community and the spectators.

Looks like your team think otherwise

The home side are most curious about the effect England obtained in the second innings of the second Test in Durban, where South Africa were all out for 133 and lost by an innings.

To me anyway.

It was on Sky before play, footage from one of the other networks apparently.

Anderson shining the ball on top, whilst digging his nails in beneath, and then later, picking at the ball.

South Africa already getting their excuses in for when we draw this? Bizarre.

 

[GIMH]

TBH if they have been ball tampering in this innings then they should all be fined for doing it soo poorly

 

[Jayzamann]

415 runs already, surely they'd have powered on in those 10 overs before lunch to push for a declaration? No sense to keep on keeping on in this manner.

 

[jot1]

"most curious" being the operative words. Could it be we've been losing through other factors and not good cricketing skills on England's side? Makes one wonder.....

 

[GIMH]

South Africa were undone by good bowling and nothing else in the last Test. Swann took five of the wickets, and Broad just hit the top of offstump. Honestly....
