I havent changed my mind. But why do you waste time on such 'what you consider drivel' any way as you cant even prove a thing.

Dont shut up and keep blabbering like you did on the final I didnt watch and earlier on changing the minds.

Cheers and happy typing.

I havent changed my mind.

Moaning/not moaning about the decision, not skewed towards batters in 20/20, conditions not favouring the bowlers after all, et cetera.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Dont shut up

I won't.

Do you have command of the English language?

 

[Swervy]

has this not gone on for a bit too long now

 

[Pratters]

I won't.

Do you have command of the English language?

I am quite proficient in the language.

I have serious doubts about your proficiency in understanding the language however when you can make accusations about me saying the twenty20 final was lost because of the conditions specifically.

Prove I did. Or else keep babbling without much sense. Get an education first before you can question others regarding having a command of the english language.

 

[Tom Halsey]

I questioned it because you've said things like 'don't shut up' when you clearly meant things like 'do shut up' (although with different phrases) several times.

Very probably, and I know I'm to blame for an extent, but I have to reply to something I majorly disagree with.

Has an 'Official' thread ever been locked before?

 

[Pratters]

Agreed. Its bringing in negative atmosphere in general and its certainly not an atmosphere any one wants.

So for the best interests of healthy discussion, its better to call for peace. It isnt a war any way.

Cheers.

Richard and TEC... Oh, it's not them?

It will be a very sad day on Cricket Web when one does..

As usual, it is just a case of people not letting others have the benifit of their own opinion.. Live and let live

 

[sledger]

SA now have 2 days to get 17 wickets and bat again in between...If England bat into the second half of the middle session tomorrow,I think the series is Englands

I'll be very pleasantly surprised if England manage to bat into the middle of the 2nd session - judging by Flintoff & G Jones' efforts to date, it's not hard to see the last 6 wickets falling before lunch. If those guys throw their wickets away yet again, it may take me a while to produce a report that's fit for public consumption. My guess is a lead of 80-90 for SA, followed by a quick thrash to set a target of 300 with half an hour or so to bowl at us tomorrow night. Of coure, the weather could make a complete mockery of that particular prediction.

I'm not going to make a prediction 'cos I hate tempting fate, but given we're only 130-odd behind now I reckon a lead of 80-90 for SA is a tad pessimistic.

But I'm touching wood as I type!

England will limp to 180 for 7 before harmy takes us past the SA score with a maiden half century off 15 balls.

I think the stage was set for Thorpe when he walked in this morning - it's the sort of situation he really thrives on.

I wouldn't be surprised if he makes it to 3 figures tomorrow - if Flintoff and Jones can both hang there for a while to let him get going then Giles and Hoggard can just dig in and avoid dismissal.
