Thanks, and I promise I'll let my team (The Proteas) do any nationalistic dick waving for me and just talk about cricket

Fat Gray never gets much of a mention in terms of standing as an AT opener, but 100 plus tests at an average of over 50 is substantial in anyone's books, despite his batting being less than easy on the eye.

Didn't do too badly in CW's overall rankings - alongside Sehwag

Welcome mate.

All about the sailing

 

[Jacknife]

Don't know about Headingley but it's stopped raining at mine a few miles away

Best second post.

 

[Jacknife]

Seriously hope this balls still swinging after the rain, it would almost kill whatever contest there is if it doesn't

 

[Spark]

Hmm. UDRS would've been handy in this match Sky are showing. Some... interesting decisions to say the least.

The 1998 match at Leeds?

 

[Jacknife]

FFS by the sounds of things another shower coming over.

2.55 start but it's going to be on and off I reckon

Haha, and the winning wicket is curiously odd too.

Yep.

Broad looks on.

 

[Jacknife]

Good first over back for Broad.

Backed up by Jimmy.

Don't think it's swinging quite as much but it doesn't have to, still enough there for the bowlers

 

[Jacknife]

Close but edge not carrying to Cook.

Ruined a good over with that last ball.

 

[Jacknife]

Rudolph feeling at anything on that 4/5th stump line.

 

[Spark]

Too short from these two. Need to get them driving.

Just reading back the last few pages, doesn't seem much optimism about from the fellow English after this morning's play. Ideally yes if we could have made a quick lead of about 60+ it would put us in a better position, but top get a lead in the first place was an excellent effort, and at least the game is moving along and gives us more time to bowl SA out.

A couple of early ones is just what we need, there's enough happening through the air and off the pitch to maintain the belief we can bowl SA out. Not saying it'll happen, but we do have a chance here.

 

[Thriel]

match will end in draw .. I dont think England can win this series anymore, Can only draw 1 all or lose. Guess the descider will be last match

 

[Jacknife]

That one there, that's the length he needs to keep to.
