wtf man

 

[Jacknife]

This, it sounds like Scaly-style whining, but they have bowled much better than us, so why these crap shots, it really reminds me of the nineties.

Don't think they've bowled any better than us tbf this test match, just so far we've not had the concentration of the SA batsmen.

To be fair they were 157-3 we were 142-3. Not a lot in it when 3rd wicket went down. Can we have anyone bat for a long time and score heavily though?

One was a run out though.

True, need a KP/Bell partnership here big time though.

 

[BeeGee]

That ball is swinging a mile after it pitches.

 

[Spikey]

Why does that get called wide 30,000 balls like that haven"t been??????

 

[Jacknife]

It has done all day, really goes after the stumps.

The balls swung a bit more in general today though.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So each side have gifted wickets then. Point still stands that as we are now 160-3 isn't a bad position. Could go either way I know but a decent stand and England are back in the game.

 

[Spikey]

certainly it's well set up for a random SA collapse that costs them the game

 

[Jacknife]

Yes the point was I personally don't think they've bowled better than England on the whole so far.

Bowled quite defensive in parts, which was a bit strange considering the ball was relatively new.

 

[Ruckus]

odds on Pietersen getting out for <50?

Weather may play its part in proceedings but certainly if England gets a lead it could put pressure on the Proteas.

120+ for me

 

[Briony]

120+ for me

He's certainly due and has been copping criticism. Will have a point to prove.
