**Official** South Africa in England 2012

[LegionOfBrad]

JB gonna get these by himself.

 

[Jono]

Tahir will bowl one full toss in this over.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Lets see if Tahir can take a top order batsman. Will likely do a full lap of honour if so.

 

[Spark]

Tahir will bowl one full toss in this over.

Or a legside pie.

Gee I hope this knock develops into something properly substantial. Could be something to remember for the ages if so.

Me Bradford lad's doin me proud

 

[Teja.]

Haha ****. It's not even looking like he's Afridi-ing it. Really playing well, is Jon.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Shambolic first hour, good 40 minutes. Bairstow looks a better player now he has a score behind him.

If we were going to get close then Bairstow and Prior were the ones to up the ante and we needed Bell or Trott to bat out the day at the other end. Ginger Jonny has done everything right so far, needs to carry on and not get too carried away.

Still a ridiculous long shot but at least they are giving it a bit of a go and not 6 down already.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

I think that'll be Tahir done for the day.

 

[Jono]

England to win has fallen from paying $21 to $11 in the space of 3 overs.

 

[NickDB]

KP Who?

 

[CWB304]

Mixed feelings. England could easily be 150-2, or at the very least 130-3 at this point, had management taken the completely obvious and logical decision at the fall of the second wicket.

 

[Spikey]

looks like me leaving to have dinner got england playing well

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Shame i'll miss the afternoon session visiting brother in hospital as it might be quite an exciting one if Jonny stays in.

 

[four_or_six]

Great to see how well Bairstow has played this match, really good comeback after a pretty bad first attempt.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

The run rate is now 3.83 for this session. Which is what we needed at the start of the day heh.

 

[Spark]

Haha, that was an interesting shot.

 

[Jono]

It actually had absolutely nothing to do with it you slimeball

 

[Spikey]

It actually had absolutely nothing to do with it you slimeball

i'm pretty sure it did. i mean, they couldn't even run between wickets before i left.

 

[Teja.]

Have 352 pages to study for a test tomorrow at 8 am, was secretly hoping SA get them quick.

Guess, I'll have to try pulling a 10:30 pm - 8 am miracle.

 

[Dan]

Jonny's looking very impressive here.

That one from Morkel nipped back a bit.
