**Official** South Africa in England 2012

[Stumpcam]

****ing ball is swinging around corners now!

Bodes well for Jimmy

 

[Scaly piscine]

Oh so predictable, Scaly bagging Bopara.

Although it is most definitely justified for once. WAC of a shot.

As I said on Facebook:

Please can we just get rid of Ravi Bopara ffs? It's like resurrecting Bambi's mum just so you can see her get shot again.

 

[Ruckus]

This is a brilliant over from Philander

 

[Stapel]

England's no 6 problem continues

IMHO, they're invented problems. Ravi is proven non-Test material.....

 

[Jacknife]

If we can get up to and over 380 I reckon that could be very handy, reckon our bowlers will be very handy on this deck.

 

[GIMH]

Swann looking unusually stern

 

[Dan]

Is Ravi Bopara starting to show signs of Hick [...]?

Somehow I don't think Bopara is in the class of Hick yet. Needs to be a better FC batsman.

 

[Spikey]

that was the first over I've seen of today's play.

it was some over

 

[Burgey]

Nah I don't believe you

Steyn looking great.

Agree with the thought that those runs on the board from yesterday and looking all the more valuable now. Can see us bowling very well in this.

No I do like him. Principally because so many England supporters don't.

 

[bombay_bomber]

That's a beaute from the trundler. And another.

Looking a wee bit quicker than a trundler atm....or maybe it's the situation

 

[smash84]

great over from philanderer

 

[Ruckus]

amazing how a match can go from monotonous to completely exhilarating in one day. SA finally turned up.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

They've got to get the scoreboard ticking over here. You can't just let the bowlers keep bowling over after over at the same batsman. [/geoffrey boycott]

 

[smash84]

****....missed run out

 

[GIMH]

Bit of a shambles

 

[Stumpcam]

Great shot from Prior - pouncing on a wide one and guiding it to the boundary.

Bloody awful running, and not particularly good fielding either!

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Costly miss

 

[MW1304]

I see you haven't been following the thread.

Dire running.

 

[uvelocity]

wow

poor

 

[Jacknife]

These 2 need to keep the runs ticking over, can't be too defensive it will end up getting us into trouble.

Not like that though.
