***Official*** South Africa in England

[wpdavid]

I wouldn’t knock the innings that much for it might be the biggest knock by any England player.

All true.

 

[Richard]

Looks like it's a good job I missed what was evidently a blatant bit of cheating from ABdeV then?

 

[Richard]

Ambrose gooooooooonnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeee. Finally Ntini gets his first wicket of the series.

 

[wpdavid]

Our latest number 6 not quite looking the part.

And here comes Fred

 

[steds]

Shot!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand then he gets himself out. Crap.

Ambrose looks like he's pulling his finger out.

...I'll shut up now.

 

[TT Boy]

Ambrose looks like he's pulling his finger out.

His ass?

Ntini strikes with only his third good ball of the game.

 

[Richard]

And here comes Fred

Massive cheer for a defensive shot.

Who says MSP is more popular than him? And this is a Yorkshire crowd.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Trouble is England are losing wickets to nothing bowling and there's Morkel to come back on yet.

England back to struggling to make 200 as per usual.

 

[Athlai]

Flintoff to score big and do nothing at all with the ball.

 

[andruid]

We would like to think that there is no quota system so if Ntini gets dropped we can replace him Nel. And having Amla and Prince in the team should make everyone happy

I though the quota was on the squad rather than the playing XI. Nonetheless Ntini souds kinda out of gas.

 

[duffer]

Reckon Bell will ton up here and get England to a respectable score.

Kallis on instead of Morkel is confusing me though. Surely Morne against Freddie would be the better bet?

 

[wpdavid]

Nice placement Fred

Kallis should do juuuuuuuuuust fine against Flintoff... if he could actually get any swing. Outswingers should always do the job against Flintoff.

But so could just bowling. Ntini almost gets him with a nothing ball outside off, instead he gets his first Test runs for over 18 months.

 

[sanga1337]

Would like to see Flintoff make a century off 70 bowls.

 

[popepouri]

Morkel has an extremely short run considering he bowls 88+mph

 

[Richard]

Flintoff flying to a flyer.

Question is - will it continue for long? Never looks convincing.

 

[Richard]

Kallis bowling was obvious all along wasn't it?

Innings to be over before 60 overs.

 

[duffer]

Oooh, this will test Broad now.

 

[Neil Pickup]

I give us till tea. Maybe ten minutes past it if we're very lucky.

 

[popepouri]

LOL at the commentary and Kallis' line.
