Opened crapinfo. Headline said Amla solid as lead passes 300. Clicked link to see he was out just that ball. You English CW fans owe CI one here, I think.

Nah we owe Dawson and his one apparent skill - reviewing.

Bavuma must be due a blob

Your posts are always the highlight of any England series thread, Fred. Juz love how well you come across as a biased England fan without ever treating the opposition team/fans/posters/players with any disrespect.

And that's Dawson staying in the side now.

Hash cost himself 2 tons, gone too into his shell in this one.

Like how Reifel was gutted he got it wrong.

Hey, we doing our best to keep Daws around for the Oval. Why not.

The England set up surely has room for a DRS coach, right?

 

[SeamUp]

Still no 100 from SA this series. One big one from England after being dropped on 5 and 35.

In a way its good. The one's scored will certainly be remembered.

They have a coach for everything else so yeah. Joe should let Cook retain the right, he was always discerning.

I like to use a bottle top on the keyboard - reverse gambhiring - it seldom works, but looks good when it does

SA batted perfectly, slower and steady. England could learn a lesson, but they won't

I don't think you can blame Root when his vice captain adamantly wanted to review one crashing into 4th or 5th stump

With Bayliss in charge no chance.

On the flipside they are giving us less time to salvage a draw.

 

[fishyguy]

1st quota to be dropped Duminy. Next quota player Bavuma's gotta go! Total failure!

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Bit brainless before the new ball, but I suppose big Vern did ok first dig. They've probably got enough already anyhow ?

 

[MW1304]

I wonder how many balls it will take for Vern to get his 50 this time. Thinking 63.

 

[Daemon]

Got a bad feeling about Philander's injured hand here. Hopefully he just belts a few and then gets out quickly.

 

[Spark]

That's nowhere near plumb enough for that sort of appeal.

EDIT: Lol, nowhere near.

May have been hoping for glove, Stokes was certain though ffs

Seen another example just now. The captain has to be the discerning figure since bowlers are often adamant they should be reviewing ones that aren't close enough. Keeper also helps in this regard.

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Keeper also helps in this regard.

So not Stokes in the gully then?

Haha no not usually.
