England tour of South Africa 09/10

[stefan]

Cook and Strauss have been solid so far, been tested by steyn but survived so far.

The pitch doesn't look to have too many demons anymore, those 3 fours off Steyn from Strauss were wonderful! Either side of Harris <3. I reckon the game is gonna come down to how England play Harris and how he bowls. If England want to stand any chance they have to be positive, if you look at the trends being very defensive you will normally lose. England came close to it in the 1st Test and hopefully they will have learnt from that and look to be positive. If we need a batsmen to anchor the innings we have Trott (hopefully).

For some reason I'm feeling a collapse coming on in this session. I see us being 4 or 5 down at close of play and effectively out of the game.

Ah the delights of being an optimist!

Ah for the likes of Mike Atherton once again to step up out of the mists of time.................. At least he really knew how to fiddle with a cricket ball!

Where as me on the other hand, I'm thinking about a bet on England to win!

Why not! Yesterday afternoon you could excellent odds on an Aussie victory: 8 to 1 or something!!!

 

[Ollie_H]

Thats the same odds as an England win at the moment, well its 9/1.

He is being optimistic! We could very well be all out in a matter of minutes.

I was the first to be an optimist during the Ashes and predict heroic victories but I think that 460 is too much.
Good opening partnership but they've been a bit lucky with lbws and catches not quite going to the fielder. I'd say 350 all out at best bearing in mind that the words "England", "cricket" and "collapse" are never far off being realised.

If someone can get a hundred before Bell than you can minus the required total by a 100!

 

[Sureshot]

How did the ump miss that inside edge? It was bigger than my stomach!

This test match is playing mostly to script.
