What's DFTT mean?

And Pratyush, partway through the First Test you made the claim that England wouldn't do anything in that game (at a point when SA were marginally in front) - after what you said the game somewhat changed.

OK, we're up against it now - but crucially, crucially, crucially we made stumps without loss. A long bat tomorrow and well into Day 4 to make an absolute minimum of 400 will keep us in the game.

Six of our top seven are due, if three come off then we will make that 400. There's no way that this is over yet - remember Durban last time around and Kirsten's 274?

Clutching at straws somewhat i would suggest but you are still definetly a chance to take the series. Your best bet would be to play for the draw. As for the series it really is harder to pick than a broken nose..could go either way as both tests have been completly one sided

Years of playing and coaching for junior sides with win-loss records of Bangladeshi proportions have honed my straw-clutching skills to a great extent.

I prefer to call it "positive thinking", however.

Its the end result which I have never doubted. England wont win the trophy. I was sad South Africa lost but South Africa can lose a test like they did and still not lose the series.

All hail Strauss!!! This is great positive cricket from these guys...

I think all Siobhan's positivity must have paid dividends!

Why are people asking me this now and not in September?

I just like them is all... The players are a fantastic bunch and they look more like a team than anyone else at the moment.

This is a very Australian way of coming out when under the cosh - the talk was it'd be tea before England were anywhere near parity, but that first hour and a quarter have really turned this one on its head!
