**Official** South Africa in England 2012

Reckon it's just because Steyn has been searching for the swing he was getting before, but now that the conditions have blown over it's just not there anymore

Will be interesting to see what happens when England bowl. Will it swing and for how long.

And the worst bowler picks up another cheap wicket. Jesus.

Good knock, no idea what Warne's going on about though

 

[91Jmay]

Be a good time for SA to bat if the weather stays as is.

Still enough in the air and off the pitch if you bowl in the right areas.

Hope Jimmy survives Morne so Swann can play some shots against Tahir.

Welcome to cricket.

Think they're trying to bowl very straight at Prior. It hasn't been too bad for them though. Prior has just been getting singles square instead of the boundaries he'd be looking for with number 10 at the other end (no disrespect to Swanny)

Yep, but if you bowl where Morne just did you could get him out. Happy with what we've got here really, of course could all change, if the pitch stops hooping when England bowl, think Bop will get a few overs.

I am still sticking with 380-400

Loving my predictions on my first day at CW!

Reckon the extra bounce got the nick there

Isn't that what IT Botham used to do a lot?

 

[91Jmay]

Warne varies between some really insightful stuff to utter gibberish. Sometimes in the same sentence. Better than Nick Knight though.

 

[Ruckus]

Predict the SA innings then nostradamus

 

[Jager]

And here's the sun

Yep, bit of uneven bounce, priors got to go for it at this stage, so Morne picks up 4, oh well.

 

[MW1304]

Welcome to cricket.

Honestly though if he has a good series bowling like he has done then I may give up on life.

 

[Prince EWS]

Hate cricket so much sometimes.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So we want a couple before tea then and put them on the backfoot.

385 is a good effort by SA today,the poor first day may end up costing them though.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Another England score where they've gotten a decent total despite themselves. Not many of them have been gotten out by good bowling.

All this stuff about a fightback from England but they've scored 118-7 today. ****ing awful.

Don't want to ruin beginner's luck too soon

 

[MW1304]

Don't want to ruin beginner's luck too soon

Haha that makes no sense.

 

[BeeGee]

Good total, but not a great total. I still think this pitch is very good for batting.

The game is interestingly poised.
