**Official** South Africa in England 2012

So parity it will be, or near as dammit. Given the forecast Strauss might as well declare.

 

[Jacknife]

Oh FFS, get on with things does not mean play **** house shot and get out

 

[BoyBrumby]

Pretty much worst thing ever.

Wicket for Tahir and an English bat getting out to a spinner sweeping.

It's how Hitler started, tbh.

 

[MW1304]

Broad is responsible for both of the last two wickets. You stupid stupid man.

This has gone from looking promising this morning to looking pretty unlikely. And isn't our lower order supposed to be good? They've been godawful.

 

[Spark]

Haha, great shot.

Nah these two may as well try to bash a few runs. It will, no doubt, give Tahir a further undeserved wicket.

 

[MW1304]

Beautiful Jimmy.

I wish we had Tino.

 

[hazsa19]

My word they've batted poorly this morning

 

[Spark]

Lawl. Odd, odd morning.

Tahir finishes up with a frankly rather undeserved 3-for.

 

[Uppercut]

Three for Tahir, good effort from him

 

[Jacknife]

Jimmy's got out playing that exact same shot and as I speak.


****ing pretty dire morning on the whole

 

[Burgey]

Certainly fair to say this is evenly poised.

 

[Scaly piscine]

I mean did these ****wits even have a plan this morning?

You've got Bresnan pissing about for 9 off 50 balls. Then Broad just wipes out up in the air and Prior gets caught on the boundary. 6 run lead. ****house.

 

[grecian]

*sigh" 3-92, for bowling ****e, no-balls and flinging it outside the leg stump.

Just horrid.

 

[uvelocity]

tahir so excited lol

dont be mad pommy ****s, you'd have taken that in a heartbeat yesterday - how well can you bowl

 

[MW1304]

And what a disappointing morning. Had been set up for a good match.

Mind you this seemed inevitable since the 2nd ball.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Is this sort of equilibrium thing from the Olympics?

If so does that mean Australia are going to win every single game by an innings for the next 50 years, including ODIs and T20s?

 

[Jacknife]

Can't do with his OTT celebrations of tailenders.

 

[uvelocity]

I mean you were so depressed you all switched to the olympics. pietersen has a dip and you think its an automatic 600+ they've done well.

 

[Jacknife]

Hope was gone really when KP got dismissed 2nd ball but Broads shot and Bresnan not getting a move on when he should have, makes you think we should have done so much better, at least another 70/80 runs.
