England in South Africa

[Shevchenko]

England aren't gifting SA wickets; the umpires are however...

ah c'mon mate ! SA is really playing well and hearing the words of Geoff Boycott I would be very shamed if I were a english supporter , I dont like England but I like Harmison , let us dont hope he was a one hit wonder , and btw didnt Hoggard play for the Free State Eagles (SA) and where was Strauss born?

Charl Langeveltd bowled u out with one hand!
Geoff cant wait till england is all out! , he wants to see what vacation the guys is going take ! maybe a visit to the wine farms

No, I'm not just making excuses. You guys are going to win this one fair and square. I'm just saying that the umpiring, for both sides, has been appalling and completely unacceptable.

Certainly sounds like their not having the best game. Guys on TalkSPORT were baffled as to why Graham Thorpe wasn't out.

lol.
TalkSPORT have been trying to be polite about him by saying 'bad decisions seem to follow him around'. But in other comments they've basically admitted he's shocking.

so looks like south africa are going to win, but i still think England might be able to win or draw the match if Thorpe scores 100 plus with some help from giles and the other tailenders.

And a win for South Africa and 1-1. I think this is going to go South Africa's way although I'll probably end up eating my words.

 

[Stephen Bailey]

Says alot when our number 11 scores (42) the hishest score of the innings and our number 9 plays the most impressive defensive innings and number 10 manages to belt a quickfire 19. Think our bowlers should have a go at the batsmen.

 

[barmyarmy]

Well on the positive side, I've now called the last two results in the series and made 50-odd in reputation...

 

[ZoraxDoom]

The decider means if Eng. wins means rep. points in my pocket.......

 

[barmyarmy]

Well there are still two to go. I'm actually leaning towards a 2-2 draw atm.
