***Official*** South Africa in England

Has to be Strauss. Strauss now he's established in the side again should be the Test v\c automatically for mine, he's a decent leader.

Yeah, got a feeling he'll become captain after next year's Ashes

 

[Richard]

This partnership needs to be broken soon

Well it's now worth 50 as Broad is smashed for two fours in an over.

Should have been nipped in the bud in all likelihood, of course.

 

[GIMH]

LOL I thought our use of sub fielders was going to be clamped down on

 

[Richard]

Not "our" use specifically, use in general. And it is, just hasn't been quite yet. Think it's very soon.

 

[GIMH]

oooh looked closer than it was tbh

 

[GIMH]

Well yeah, in general, but we are probably the worst offenders

 

[Richard]

Thought you were recently saying you hardly watched non-England games?

All teams use subs lots. And TBH I don't have much of a problem with it. If it helps get a better standard of cricket, which presumably is the idea, I'm all for it.

 

[Richard]

Maybe sooner.

 

[GIMH]

I didn't say I hardly watch them tbf just that I don't stay up at night and watch them or give them my 100% attention at all times

Basing my comments on what I have read on here and cricinfo, and other media. Could be wrong of course.

Pattinson's hero is Botham so he must consider himself English

 

[Richard]

Finally we hear - Pattinson definately did play club cricket in England in 2007 and 2006. Well, I suppose 2 seasons of club then half of First-Class is something.

Tell that to Daniel "Swervy" Jackson.

 

[GIMH]

Hehe I was thinking of him when I made that post ITBT

 

[GIMH]

Is AMla so bad against the short-ball that every 3rd delivery needs to be short?

 

[GIMH]

Pattinson makes the breakthrough...

 

[popepouri]

Another one for the umpires.

 

[GIMH]

Hawkeye reckons not out, but as Amla should have been gone yesterday I have ZERO sympathy, sounds like he's getting booed off the field as well

 

[GIMH]

Ah no, the boos will have been for de Villiers, my bad

Yeah ditto TBH, apart from the fact it should've been Flintoff not Pattinson who got the wicket you'd have to say there's some element of justice there.

Haplesss Harper strikes again.

Pattinson with the break-through. Knew all along he was going to do well today.
