The hoggmeister strikes again.

You beauty. Rudolph b Hoggard 2.

Now if Harmison could just join in...of course, this is probably the hardest wicket to take...

Edit: WAH00T!! I wanna skip economics now.

 

[Galactic_Soap]

Kalis is gone All credit to Hoggy though he's bowling beautifully.

 

[Pratters]

Start watching tennis and this happens!

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Fantastic bowling by Hoggard.

 

[Mr Casson]

In hindsight, I wish I could have bet on Strauss and Kallis getting ducks in the same innings. What do you reckon the odds of that would have been!!

 

[twctopcat]

And again.........and again...........WOO HOOOOO!

Sorry mate, over exuberance on my behalf as ever!!

 

[Mr Casson]

Well, I just read that Graeme Smith appeared as a witness at Michael Vaughan's disciplinary hearing. What a filthy trashbag he's turning out to be more of than I first thought.

Yep, I'm still left wondering why there have been no disciplinary hearings for Smith - his on-field antics are ridiculous and nobody can tell me he hasn't broken any laws/rules in the process.

Well how he can get away with claiming a catch that clearly bounced the best part of a foot in front of him, and then motion for the selectors to check with the third umpire, is completely beyond me. What he did is telling umpires how to do their job; the same thing Vaughan is being accused of, only much less subtly and far more inappropriately. It's even more inappropriate, for a captain of all people as well, when you consider that Herschelle Gibbs (was it?) lost half his match fee for simply signalling for signalling to the umpire something that he shouldn't have.

 

[Mr Casson]

There we go, James Anderson robbed of a wicket, hit for four next ball. Same thing that happened when he missed Gibbs' off stump by half a centimetre.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Gibbs get an extra life because of Aleem Dar.

 

[wpdavid]

On the radio, they're giving Dar an absolute pasting over an lbw shout he's just turned down against Anderson. Are they justified?

 

[twctopcat]

Jimmy's bowling toilet poor bloke.

It was hitting halfway up middle and off stump.

I think he looks more like getting a wicket than Flintoff at the moment.

I wouldn't know though, am not watching it so will go on your opinion!Was just referring to the number of boundaries.

Speaks a lot about Fintoff's bowling then
