Reckon the umpires should man up and not play along with Smith's games
I agree in principle and I thought it was dire they called dead ball in the second Test but Finn's come into this game knowing full well what was going to happen if he did it again, so he has no-one but himself to blame if it bites him in the arse again. When you prepare under the assumption that it won't really matter and then you get pulled up on it that's one thing, but if he does it here then it's just poor bowling.

Haha, maybe just a bit. Need Duminy to get out before 42 as well.
Yeah I was gonna say, the most important thing for you is that Duminy gets out soon. Steyn, Morkel and Tahir should hang around long enough for Philander to make 43 if he's good enough, especially if he keeps batting like this, but Duminy going on and making 70+ would see the end of your bet straight away.

Haha it wasn't as crap a post as you think; he had $1 on Philander to top score at 49-1.
Correction, $2 at 41. The $1 at 51 was for Swann top scoring in England's innings :p

Just throwing my spare change about to make the match more interesting to watch.

Better from Swann after tea. Still not completing his action properly but he's getting over the top of the ball in his release a lot more. Wicket did him the world of good.

The way the odd ball is moving extravagantly makes you wonder what a good score actually is here. If SA get 280 they will still be well in the game.
