Richard has 4x as many posts in this thread as the next person.. Now taken to commenting about the posts as well as the cricket..

Harmison just improved his high score..... I'd love to see him register his maiden Test Fifty.

Yea, I know people will say it's easy to pick the team from here... but well it is.

At home barring a freak bunsen you pick your 4 best seamers, 6 batsmen and your best wicket-keeper. England are lucky they've got Flintoff which makes up for the lack of quality keeper-batsman and this should make the selection a lot less painful than this bunch are making it.

***-having ridiculous, if anything.

Shocking innings, anyway.

Absolutely painful cricket, typical South Africa not being able to finish off these rabbits..

Reverse sweep from Anderson says it all, tbh

It's said a fair bit including yesterday but the Yorker isn't bowled enough.

Not once has anyone tried Yorking either of these two. They should be trying it every ball pretty much, if you bowl Full-Tosses you could hardly do worse than they have so far and they're bound to miss one eventually.

Haha then leaves a straight ball.

Would probably be the worst chanceless half-century in Test history, certainly between these two sides.

I don't really care. I've always liked Harmison. It's good to see him back in good bowlign shape. An ugly but usefull effort with the bat is a nice bonus.

Quality arm ball from Harris

Boucher's drop was a chance, imo.

Gulping gargolyes, completely forgot that.

Anyway, at the run-out that means Harmison gets 49*.

Blasphamy! Twas a doosra.

That's as maybe, but it's still a shockingly poor innings.

FFS.
Gutted. Harmison is one of my favourite batsmen to watch. Im heartbroken for him.

Love to watch a good old fashioned tailenders thump. Though with CW logic, he will probably be playing as an allrounder next Test.

So, he missed it because Pnesar was hesitating? That's bad.
