*Official* England in South Africa Thread

[Mister Wright]

Skipper drops Boje!

Thank fully the tennis is over and as is the tumbling of wickets

Erm, it's hard to pick up wickets during the Tea interval.

 

[Pratters]

In which case England must be bowling really well then

However I would lay odds that light will the final say again.

Hoggard has bowled very well with the new ball. No denying that :P

And I would like South Africa to earn the draw rather than because of the light. I also think that may happen though.

Freddy not coming on after tea.

"with the passing of freddy comes the dawn of bell"

it has been prophecised and the light was seen.

Vaughan misses lots of relatively easy catches, as mentioned in the 'worst drop' thread.

I would imagine they havent taken many wickets since then either.
And just when I type that one is gone.

 

[Mr Casson]

Matthew Hoggard!!! What more to say?? Good show chap!

 

[Mister Wright]

What about 5-30?

Try 6-43.

 

[Pratters]

Yes, and look at his overall career.

I asked why such a disparity was there.

Never questioned him about being capable of playing international cricket. When I mentioned he had an avg of 50 in home tests, it pretty much does not imply me saying he is ncapable of playing international cricket which you so stupidly assume me saying.

I'm sure it was a ploy to allow Hoggard to get 10 wickets in an innings.

 

[Mister Wright]

I am very impressed with Vaughan's captaincy, the field he had for Dippenaar was excellent, and the two short mid wickets for Smith first ball is brilliant - reminding Smith about his weakness. Well done.

OMG hoggie = god

 

[Mister Wright]

OMG hoggie = god

which equals TEC got it wrong.

 

[tooextracool]

What about 5-30?

let me rephrase that then, hoggard is a support bowler in conditions that dont suit him, and flintoff is a support bowler regardless.

 

[tooextracool]

which equals TEC got it wrong.

because i said hoggard wasnt capable of picking up wickets on a seamer? and thats despite the fact that hes already once got 7/43.....

 

[Jono]

Great decision by Dar. If Gibbs was given out there it may have been goodnight SA.

 

[Pratters]

Even after six wickets, our openers are still batting

 

[Scaly piscine]

Can't really say it was a great decision from Aleem Dar when all he does is say not out every time.

Heard it all before. He can only do this on that, he is not capable of that on this, all batsman and bolwers around the world play on different surfaces with different conditions, so to pick and choose is a bit of a waste of time.

 

[Pratters]

Can't really say it was a great decision from Aleem Dar when all he does is say not out every time.

I am not complaining till he keeps giving them not out.
