South Africa in England

Howcome ALL our bowlers suddenly forgot to bowl FULL on this pitch? Or do they want to make this game more interesting and give it a close finish? Seriously...stop bowling wide and short guys! sheesh...
 
Well the one bowler who you'd expect to bowl full is Steyn. Maybe Kallis as well, but I think he has bowled fairly well so far.
 
Steyn would have filled his boots in this test. He probably would have took loads of wickets as well.
 
OMG ! KP throws it away!
The last hour was edge of the seat stuff.
England will now look to Freddie and Ambrose to take them to a 250ish lead.
Its been the best test match cricket I`ve seen in the recent past.The atmosphere is fantastic.

Go Freddie !
 
Would I be out of place if I were to predict a collapse now?

Well done Harris, your straight spinners are doing wonders!
 
:crying
Damn you KP...He might just has thrown the game away for England..

And now Flintoff.. :eek:
Now you..:crying :crying

Please Colly just add more 90 odd runs and it will be all up to Sidebottom and Flintoff.
 
Lmao, never before did I think i'd see cricinfo using internet lingo;

What a wicket. What a moment that is. England were owning South Africa, and Pietersen looked in utter command. Flintoff receives a huge cheer

Thais session sums up England's series i'm afraid. Flashes of brilliance that ultimately ends in bitter disapointment. Far too many batting collapses in this series.

Ambrose and Collingwood need to do the goods. They have to do it or we've lost another Test series at home. Something which we should not be doing.

Why Pietersen played that shot i'll never know. he was going great guns until he did his usual "i'm bored of being brilliant and despite them not looking like getting me out, i'll try to be even mroe brilliant and give them my wicket when I could quite easily win the game for England" thing.
 
Oh yeah, and let that shut all you Harris doubters up. South Africa need him in their team for situations such as this. The seamers were giving the game away and Harris has come to the rescue. Well played.
 
I was just about to say that. From what I read he wanted to get his century in style by hitting a six. But if England can reach 200 runs lead I would say the match is still balanced, because making runs here sound difficult.

Cricinfo iz t3h sexorrds. My infraction awaits.

We've got about a 130 odd lead (my maths is shocking), and still need another 150 runs for my liking. We can't keep saying; "Oh Sidebottom and Flintoff, they're alright bowlers. Let them do it."
 
We need 200 minimum in my opinion. I think that we can get there and above the whole game and series really depends on this partnership.
 
KP got carried away there. Really did. With the situationand the man on the boundary, that was a stupid shot. Kinda undoes the good shots he played.
 
Yet again, as mentioned before, a bit of brilliance then leads to dissapointment.

KP was looking very set for a big score, and that one bad decision has cost him the wicket that we needed to still be out there till the end of the day.

Freddie, well, yet again we need him to give us the runs and he fails. Not looking good for us now.

Fingers crossed lads, It isn't over until the fat lady sings. (And I cant hear her singing yet)

DPRA added 1 Minutes and 40 Seconds later...

Gotto love that beard!

Are you Freddie's secret love child?

You always seem to go on about him and how nice he is. (And looks)

KP is my idol, but I don't go on with it this much :laugh
 
Colly showing his worth here.
These are the kind of situations where he thrives.I`ve always regarded him to be the stubborn Steve Waugh type character who never shirks.
If he can string something here with Ambrose and take the lead to about 250, we will have a match on our hands,although it still looks like a very good batting track.
They must first look to play out the day.

Who knows what could happen if Flintoff or Anderson can nip a few early with a total of 250 to chase.
I think we could see them choke. Oh ,Yes! I just uttered the `C` word !
