And Lee has creamed a cover drive for four.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

WARNEY! Odds on Langer to come out at #11, anyone? He'd have to I'd imagine.

High odds. Martyn and Lee will add 60.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

What a good shot. He hasn't lost that aggression from the morning.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Haven't been able to catch most of this match. What happened to Langer?

Hit on the head first ball in the first innings.

Dunno about that. If he is still out of sorts, why risk serious injury, especially in a dead rubber. tbh, I have no idea about his state of health though.

And of course, it's all irrelevant, as Lee will see them home anyway.

 

[Pratters]

Hit on the head first ball in the first innings.

Thanks.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Just showed a picture of Langer in the dressing room. Not in whites, so he probably won't bat tonight, maybe tomorrow.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Kallis getting some serious away swing with the old ball here (and it doesn't seem to be reverse).

 

[Pratters]

How many overs left today practically?

How many overs left today practically?

I think they said half hour about ten minutes ago. Not sure though.

 

[Pratters]

Halsey: I would love a finish today as will not be able to watch tomorrow. Looks a bit unlikely some how.

LOL it's Langer's 100th test? Imagine him winning it batting at number 11!

If Langer comes in, I want him to hit the winning runs.

If not, I'm gunning for the Saffies.

Could SA claim another 30 minutes to finish the game? Maybe they'd need another wicket or two to be able to do that.

No idea.

 

[Dasa]

I think they'd have to be 8 wickets down to be able to claim the extra half hour.

Yeah RSA can. The thing is bad light would most liketly come into play.

 

[Pratters]

Good bowling change to bring in Pollock. He is economical which is needed to tie one end up.

They effectively are 8 down.

The commentators don't reckon that Kaspa or Langer will bat tonight.

Obviously tomorrow they might both bat, but not tonight.

EDIT: Doubt they'll fit it in what with the light anyway though.

I doubt there's a proviso for "effectively" in the rules, tho?

Twenty minutes till scheduled close, btw.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Umps discussing the light, and off they go.
