South Africa in England

In fact not.
I Was waiting for Peterson from morning and that was insane.
Good Bowling change by Smith and I think now England is in mighty trouble.
Cook can stay their but He can't save the Match for England.
Still more than five sessions to go in the Match and its a tough job for Cook ,Bell and Flintoff to save the Match for England.
 
Pietersen can do it under pressure. The last test of the Ashes 05 springs to mind and his performances against S.A in 2004.
 
A typically unreliable Pietersen innings. Ah well, he can't do it all the time.

Barring something utterly miraculous this match will be finished today. Hopefully Flintoff and Ambrose can make the most of their time in the middle and get a few runs. The game is out of our reach, but they should still make the most of this batting opportunity. England just need to regroup, drop Pattinson and be confident ahead of the next Test. This series is still there to win.
 
It's not that depressing to be honest. Two Tests left. Two Tests we are capable of winning.

This series has so far gone shockingly similar to the one against India last year though. Missed a chance of victory at Lords and then lost the toss in a game where winning the toss would win the game.
 
Its not over yet a Cook double century and centuries from Ambrose and Flintoff are in the offing. :upray :rolleyes:

I don't see England saving this Match until Flintoff will bat as same as He used to couple of years ago.
As an Englnd's fan I am still not losing this out but England needs to score runs,the only way they can save the match.So Equation sounds "Save your Wicket and Score quick runs'' and only a Fit in form Flintoff can do that.
Ambrose does sound mature and talented to me so Hope He makes sure that Flintoff will not have to come today to bat.
 
It's all about individual milestones now. If Cook can bag himself a hundred then his confidence will be done no harm at all. Ambrose should use this opportunity to prove to his doubters that he does belong in this England side. It's pretty shoddy that James Anderson has shown the rest of our top order how to get stuck in.
 
With all my sarcasm aside England do have a chance of drawing.
If there is someone in the crowd with a mirror he should be kicked out. How stupid. I've not been impressed with the behaviour of the fans all match to be honest.
 
Now they don't have a chance :(
South Africa will deserve this win. England batted rashly first up compared to South Africa who batted superbly well. I do feel England did bowl well just out thought by the batsman.
Well played SA
