*Official* England in South Africa Thread

I have blamed the umpire and I have not claimed and any point of not blaming the umpire.

So when you said:

"I have not moaned about umpiring decisions" you weren't actually saying that you were not blaming the umpires then?

You need to decide whether you did blame the umpires or not (which incidentally you quite clearly did, then claimed you didn't and finally claim that you didn't not blame them.

Stuff like you conjured up in a specific post where you said I said I put doubt on the second lbw decision cause I was proved wrong for last 4 days.

No, because yet again you fail to read what I say,

I said that in 4 days you were going to be shown to be wrong.

Nothing to do with the last 4 days.

Bugger, Tres out... Not a fantastic bit of calling from Strauss, but I think Tres could have made much more of an effort to get back there.

 

[superkingdave]

Oh Dear, turns like an ocean liner

 

[superkingdave]

its gone a bit T*ts up now

 

[Mr Casson]

Uhhh... Straussy, we really, really need you. I hope he's got one more big one left in him this series.

 

[marc71178]

It's a case of batting time at the moment.

Strauss is in form, and Thorpe owes us another good knock.

40 minutes to lunch - need to do that without losing another one and then see off the next spells from Pollock and Ntini.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Then I dont know why you conjectured me on that thread. It is obvious good bowling does get rewarded.

That is contradicting yourself in a big way...

 

[Scaly piscine]

Another day, another 3 pathetic dismissals. If England EVER stopped throwing wickets away they would only have had to have batted one full innings and the odd quick 100-150 in each Test.

 

[Tom Halsey]

I wonder if you can actually bring some insight in posts rather than wondering about reasons behind my posts.

I put my point be known. And because you things its totally wrong, does not mean so. I respect the opinion of others as they do seem to have a point when they contradict. With its well.. no comments.

He did - he said the Umpire was right, which he was. I wish you'd stop moaning about Umpires...

With regards to today, Vaughan played one of the worst shots ever, Strauss made a rare mistake, and Key was possibly a bit unlucky, not sure though.

He did - he said the Umpire was right, which he was. I wish you'd stop moaning about Umpires...

But he's told he hasn't moaned about umpires.

Then a bit later he said he'd never denied he'd not moaned about them!

I always think a batsman is a tiny bit unlucky to get out like that..but the ball quite clearly glanced the bat,and so unlucky or not, thats out

 

[Scaly piscine]

Key was also caught down the leg-side in the 3rd Test, he was playing more of a shot then but it was against the same bowler. This 'unlucky' method of dismissal didn't stop Glamorgan's opener James Test career lasting just the 1 Test.

What's this rare mistake by Strauss? Is it Trescothick's dismissal? It had me stumped for a while lol.

Not true, James got another go against Sri Lanka at The Oval (I was there & had slash next to Bob Willis in lavs! ). We still contrived to lose after making 400-odd in the first tho. Think Murali took 16 (?).

Key looked a bit unlucky I reckon.

& that Andre Nel's a card, eh? No, not "card", what is the word?...Four letters, starts with a "c"....

isnt he just...would be good if he could back up all his 'vigorous' behaviour by actually bowling two good balls consecutively.

The term that springs to mind for me is 'waste of space'..(watch it..he will go on to take 7 wickets now)

No he won't.

Now Swervs, there's tempting fate and there's just plain ridiculous.

 

[Pratters]

Except I have never claimed anything about it being equal - that is a pure fabrication by you.

Then what was your reason for arguement in the twenty20 thread!? You just contradict for the sake of it?

 

[Pratters]

So when you said:

"I have not moaned about umpiring decisions" you weren't actually saying that you were not blaming the umpires then?

You need to decide whether you did blame the umpires or not (which incidentally you quite clearly did, then claimed you didn't and finally claim that you didn't not blame them.

I thought Dar made some bad decisions. So I blamed him. But I dont moan or cry over them. Its part of cricket.

No, because yet again you fail to read what I say,

I said that in 4 days you were going to be shown to be wrong.

Nothing to do with the last 4 days.

Okay regarding the predictions..

That has to be one of the most contradictory comments I've ever seen.
