**Official** South Africa in England 2012

[Prince EWS]

Trott has a chance to get his Test average below 50 for the first time in over two years here.

 

[Jacknife]

annnnd the all wickets my team looses are erorrs not good bowling is back.

LOL never said it wasn't good bowling but the point still stands, didn't move his feet and a ****ing **** start again.

 

[Valer]

Nicely set up this one. England would obviously be going for this total given they are 0-1 down.

Why doesn't Steyn open the bowling any more, btw.

Smith's horses for courses thing.Philander (Cook) Morkel (Smith).

Well, it was a good ball but a fairly gentle inswinger and the brand new ball has swung gently all the match. Cook planted his front foot and played all around it.

A good ball, but not really exceptional.

Yeah Steyn will be back opening the bowling as soon as Strauss isn't one of the openers.

 

[MrPrez]

Well that was a nice start

 

[Prince EWS]

Oh wow, wtf.

 

[Valer]

No footwork from strauss here. Obviously just not up to it with the bat.

Still no footwork.

 

[Teja.]

Haha, England in a pretty **** situation here.

The can't afford to just play the day away as they're battling against time and they can't afford to play their shots because they are one down, will almost be sealed if two down and have Andrew ****ing Strauss batting there.

 

[Prince EWS]

Philander is just way too good for Strauss in general. One of the plumbest lbws I've ever seen.

 

[ankitj]

Haha. Philander. WAG!

 

[Jacknife]

How are these two gonna play this now, just survive and play no shots or and play a few and risk being 3 down at the close, proper balancing act.

What a time this would be though for a Captains knock.

LOL spoke too soon, Strauss and those ****ing brainless leaves, how many times as he done that. Vern has been bang on the money th0ough, gave them nothing to hit.

 

[GIMH]

Shambles

 

[BeeGee]

Great time for Cricinfo to put this article up today - He found overwhelming success in his first seven Tests but is now struggling in England. It's all to do with the nuts and bolts of how he bowls

What a complete load.

He'll win this game for SA and get MOTM.

Well that's one problem solved.

But what the **** was Strauss thinking. Full-ish ball coming back in. Use the ****ing bat you idiot!

and that's him gone. Never thought I'd see the day when Andrew Strauss would be such an obvious lollipop wicket.

 

[Jacknife]

How many times is that in the last few years has he been dismissed in such fashion.

[Viscount Tom]

I'm going to go shoot Russian fellas on an oil rig, watching this is too much.

Good bowling but really poor batting.
