England tour of South Africa 09/10

[barmyarmy]

Swann is incredibly unlucky with the review system. Gets a lot of bad calls which don't get overturned. Also in the first innings had the last man plumb with no reviews left before they then added 60 more.
Lack of hot spot and snicko makes the system pointless for close catches unfortunately.

Another review! That looks well out to me

Yep, AB is gone, SA in dissarray

 

[Sureshot]

Good rhyme.

We have them on the gallows, now to take out the blocks!

See the interesting thing about that review was, had the umpire said not out, and England had referred it, De Villiers would still be batting.

 

[CaptainOZ]

Oh my Lord, another one!

 

[barmyarmy]

Hattrick time?
Loving it!!!

Who is this England team and what have they done with the normal idiots?

 

[Maxkarter]

This is ever so slightly embarrassing, you English fans never really give your team the credit that it's due, but they aren't this good surely?

Can't really blame our batsmen for whats happened, been some really good bowling out there. Once again the fault lies with some flat and crap bowling from a South African point of view, since the away and home series against Australia there has been a serious dip in the general performances of all the players. Perhaps Mickey mouse needs to teach them not to get big headed and complacent. This really hasn't looked like the side that beat the Aussies in their own back yard, something has to be done.

 

[CaptainOZ]

Oh they haven't lost Smith now have they? Ooooh I reckon that's out.

 

[evertonfan]

SIT DOWN YOU MASSIVE PIECE OF FAT! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

Still gonna lose though...

 

[CaptainOZ]

Swann and Broad are kicking ass here.

I don't think we have that great an attack and I reckon the teams are pretty evenly matched. Runs on the board always brings pressure though so well played England.

England are playing some great stuff right now - SA are looking at a huge defeat here. It's great to see the team carry on the good work after winning the Ashes, and not just sit back and relax.

Yeps - it's nonsensical that SA TV doesn't have snicko and hot spot.

For those watching on Sky, how's the light doing? Have we any chance of finishing them off tonight?

Great performance from England - I'd never have expected this.

Just woke up after a heavy sesh last night and can't believe my eyes, a truely magical performance from the bowlers. Well played England.
