***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

[Captain_Cook]

Unforgettable dismissal for an unforgettable innings!

 

[Stapel]

So, Wasim Akram remains alone in 12 sixes in a Test innings.....

 

[Pothas]

Really wanted the 300, been waiting forever to see an English player do it.

 

[WalkingWicket]

Cricket is nuts.

 

[Cabinet96]

Boooo

 

[Pothas]

It was such a Stokes way to get out though, got to love it.

 

[Furball]

How do you not complete the run there ffs

 

[superkingdave]

Wait wtf Cook, ultra conservative 99% of the time and then declare now?

 

[Pothas]

Bad Cook.

 

[Gnske]

The worst slaughter in the history of humankind

 

[WalkingWicket]

Boo.

 

[cnerd123]

Cook the Merciful

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Amazed we have come off now. Not complaining though.

 

[Biryani Pillow]

Declaration.

Personally I wouldn't have.

Another hour or so would have destroyed the last shred of SA confidence and meant at least 100 runs.

It would have also given Stokes a bit of recovery time to steam through the batting.

 

[Furball]

Could they not have waited 10 mins for Bairstow to double up?

 

[Pothas]

I wanted half an hour of Moeen and Broad.

 

[kiwiviktor81]

What an insane day of cricket this is. And after yesterday was so normal, too.

SA to be 400/1 by the close of play tonight.

 

[jaideep]

Could they not have waited 10 mins for Bairstow to double up?

50 runs in 10 minutes?

 

[Garson007]

Declared too early, imho. Should have scored 700 at the least. No point declaring on the second day when you're batting at this pace. There is always the risk you bat much slower second time.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

120-5 at close?
