Stuart Broad sure is one terribly over-rated bowler. After all the hype based on performances in matches I didn't watch/didn't care about/decided didn't count because they weren't against my side, he's come into this match - a match on which his entire reputation hinges for some reason - and not bowled quite as well as he has regularly in the recent past. He even bowled a spell before tea in which he operated in the mid 70s, which should obviously have him automatically condemned to hell for all eternity. County trundler.

Going tomorrow, so happy that I am not going to have to sit in the rain all day that I don't really mind that we are behind in the game.

An early collapse would be nice obviously but I can live with watching AB smashing it to all parts and an Amla triple. Kallis would have to get out for that to happen of course.

Going on Monday as well so will be there for Tim and Jimmy batting out the last session in heroic fashion.

Tahir to take six wickets and bowl SA to victory.
that would be a massive psychological blow if it actually happened.

Interesting to see the poms mindset when they come out this evening my time. It was telling how the saffers came out guns blazing day two, is England up for a fight, or just more of the same...

Hang on, you're not suggesting that this tour thread is pretty much unreadable because a bunch of muppets are posting absolute drivel are you?

Tomorrow will be a good test for Kallis. Will be very interesting to see just how much he ramps up the run rate.

hey ****er it's been done

I've only looked at the cricinfo scorecard, but it looks like Stuart Broad has gone back to being **** now that's he's been removed from bowler friendly conditions

Samuels, Chanderpaul - guys who were willing to get stuck in there (and even Sammy at times during the past series) - did very well against this same attack two months ago. No surprise what's happening here. And the supporters now suggesting Finn over Bresnan? Weren't the same guys flabbergasted at the notion after that first Test against the WI where he looked so toothless, then proceeded to grab a few cheap wickets against a ****house batting order? Finn is going to be leader of this bowling unit, and it's about time he gets his chance ahead of the trundler that Bresnan is (now).

Just saw the highlights of Day 3. Got to say it was a treat to see those highlights and the shots from Amla , Smith and Kallis....

Amla and Kallis are pretty similar for me, love watching their highlights clips. You have to respect their patience, but it can make them a bit tiresome to watch against your own team. Especially when they are getting runs.

Saffas for a lead of 200, bowl Eng out for 150

1-0 to SA.

If this doesnt happen I will not have Virat Kohli in my avatar until October.

Thanks.
