Hope he has done enough to convince WW he is good

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah that thread is just incredible

 

[Cabinet96]

Have never known what I'd get as a CW custom title, but I think I've decided I'd get "Is Stuart Broad that good?".

Thought you meant windie weathers then

 

[Stapel]

With only 74 needed, it's fair to say this day did not bring what I had hoped for: A well balanced test and series.

You mean Sturat, not?

7th time Broad has taken 6 or more wickets while conceding 51 runs or less. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...iew=innings;wicketsmin1=6;wicketsval1=wickets

McGrath did it 5 times. Bowling records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo, as did Steyn http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...iew=innings;wicketsmin1=6;wicketsval1=wickets

Will he make it to the Indian All Time XI now?

 

[MW1304]

Going to be a horrible little session this.

 

[Howe_zat]

Safe to say both these two need runs.

 

[Cabinet96]

Safe to say both these two need runs.

Not really enough left for them to make a major impression, but not out 30/40s could do the world of good.

Hales needs 'm quite a bit more than Cook!

So is this officially the Death Knell for SA's time as the No. 1 ranked Test nation? Can't see them coming back from this too easily.

 

[91Jmay]

How on earth was that not a wide. Dar ffs wake up.

 

[Howe_zat]

This is hard to watch, Viljoen is all over the place and Hales is nervy as hell.

Do they actually lose the ranking after this? I thought we had to whitewash them, and tbh not really sure I do want them to lose it right this second, as that'd mean the Indiansget it, and I'm not convinced that even as good as ourselves, the Aussies or New Zealand, let alone better

Hales in particular, especially if it was a quick one. He just looks a bit rubbish right now though.

Think Aus move up to no.1 if England win 2-0 or better.

Aren't India above us?

 

[Black_Warrior]

I think India become number 1 if SA lose this
