**Official** South Africa in England 2012

Called the road and the fact that 385 was below par but FMD I never anticipated what was to follow, haha.

Glad the weather has held out though; potentially exciting finish coming up.

Shame it rained, ball was doing a bit and if they'd had 2 hours of it to bowl in who knows what may have happened. Though the way the pitch has played you would say SA would have batted the draw out anyway.

If we bat sensibly then we will save the game. All about who is dropped for Finn at Headingley as he has to play but is Broad injured or not?

I see they have declared, surprised by that. Now we see how badly England did in the field.

Most of these guys would have played in the tests in SA and the Cardiff Test when they secured some tight draws, Nasser.

 

[Prince EWS]

Good call IMO. Bopara's triple can wait.

Haha yeah it's definitely the right call IMO; exactly when I would have declared. Was so keen on that triple though. Should've bowled more yesterday.

 

[kingkallis]

SAF declared...woow! I think its too soon, they should have batted for 10 more overs!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good call IMO. Bopara's triple can wait.

Hopefully he never plays again so doesn't get it.

**** me, this has been fun, I think I'm just going to grind my genitals in a vice, all during tea, just so it can be as fun as those two sessions.

Good call IMO. Bopara's triple can wait.

55-3 at close.

Good call I think

Still pissed about that, Jimmy was bowling really well and tbf so was Broad, then the rain came and ballsed it all up

Can't believe we're batting to save the test match after that first day, what muppets,

I bet the SA's can't either.

 

[kingkallis]

Morkel to Strauss - gonna be some fun!

 

[Valer]

That almost looked like Hughes vs Martin in the middle of that replay set...

 

[Stumpcam]

Phew - no pair for the captain.

 

[Prince EWS]

Did Nasser just completely forget about the UAE tour?

[vic_orthdox]

Haha, probably the best over that I've seen Morkel bowl this game.

 

[Prince EWS]

Best over Morkel's bowled all Test.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha, probably the best over that I've seen Morkel bowl this game.

indeed

 

[Ruckus]

Tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.

 

[Prince EWS]

Magnificent ball.

 

[kingkallis]

Cook gone...woow!
