*Official* England in South Africa Thread

[Pratters]

You wish!!

Good batting and good test cricket. Not particularly enjoyable for a South African fan though. I have faith in the side and they wont surrender the series as easily ..

 

[Magrat Garlick]

You wish!!

Um, I think I get it now. It's "seize" as in "grab"?

 

[Mr Casson]

Bingo.

 

[Mr Casson]

It seems to me... that Dale Steyn is an omen of death for this South African team.

 

[Pratters]

Um, I think I get it now. It's "seize" as in "grab"?

Ya. When did I say otherwise?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Ya. When did I say otherwise?

Well, the word "cease" the way you spelled it, means "stop". So, if you take it literally, he gave away the initiative...

 

[Mr Casson]

Ya. When did I say otherwise?

When you said "Cease the initiative."

 

[Pratters]

When you said "Cease the initiative."

Lol typo.. correcting.

 

[Mr Casson]

Lol typo.. correcting.

What's the point? We quoted you!

Key sweeps Boje for six. Fun fun fun.

Key sweeps Boje for six. Fun fun fun.

"And Boje'll have fun, fun, fun, 'til Key puts the full toss awaaaaay"

Gotta love The Beach Boys!!

And your perspective on that is?

I've personally always liked seeing him come in at 3, but his form has dipped and having another right hander in the team isn't a bad thing!

I would like Butcher to earn his place back in the squad by scoring heavily in County cricket as Botham said in commentary. The probably of his return so, seems pretty tough.

 

[Mr Casson]

Well Steyn coming back makes sense.

When all you've got in front of you is a pile of rubbish, whom do you call? The garbageman!

There's a nickname Dale Steyn would be happy to keep for the rest of his career!

Dale "The Garbageman" Steyn - not quite a Malcolm "Whispering Death" Marshall, or an Allan "White Lightning" Donald, is it? Mind you he's probably a bit less intimidating than the other two.....

He is just playing his 10th FC match and showing signs of improving. Bob Willis and Botham also reckon he has a bit of talent apart from me. Dale "the inexperienced Steyn" would be how I would term him.

Key gifting away his wicket...please, Vaughnie, get a fifty...

 

[Scaly piscine]

How wide was Key's out-ball?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

How wide was Key's out-ball?

Not as wide as to say he was chasing it. He just had minimal feet movement and was expecting a short ball i think...so just played a drive a bit too hard and away from his body with no feet movement = caught fairly easily at first slip.
