South Africa in England

[Sureshot]

This situation where batsmen are not able to pick a full ball from Flintoff is becoming a farce. It's really not a fair contest between bat and ball.

Morkel bowled from that end. He is about 3 inches taller than Fred.

It's same conditions for both sides. It's fair. Albeit slightly comical.

Thats what the commentators are saying as well but they're not thinking about the fact that Morkel, being taller, must obviously be avoiding that black area. It is the same conditions for both teams but having one bowler exploiting a fault in conditions is not good.

What a damn joke this is now.

Saffies are crying like babies, there is nothing wrong with this. Keep doing it Fred.

 

[Simbazz]

Its simply an occurance where one bowler can use something to his advantage. Batsmen can use things to thier advantage (The switch hit?),

Fred gets Kallis, second time with it! I agree with Aggers, the SA guys should go and sit on them blue seats!

 

[angryangy]

Now that is just piss.

 

[venom2011]

Haha...now the commentators are talking like Flintoff is a hero...he shouldn't be proud of this at all.

 

[Simbazz]

He is using something to his advantage. All the time people talk about Cricket being a batters game, he's levelling it up.

Hey, hackers play the same game that everyone else plays, but they exploit a fault....it's not technically wrong but it's unfair, plain and simple.

 

[angryangy]

Why is he not just piffing full tosses then? Obviously it's fair to do so...

 

[Simbazz]

It is fair to bowl full tosses. You're correct.

Prince just gloved it to the keeper, but not out.

Oh yes Oh Jimmy Boy! :happy

 

[aussie_ben91]

The ball was going to go over Kallis' hip but dipped late.

Ahh, Edgbaston 2005, 281 runs to chase down. Was the last time Ponting was dismissed for a duck in Test cricket and that was over 3 years ago!

...South Africa are chokers!

 

[Simbazz]

This is fantastic! Jimmy Anderson showing he can do it! He really can!

Chokers indeed.

ABDV needs some short stuff!

This sightscreen business is annoying me now. What some of you fail to realise is that BOTH sides have batted with the same problem. Are you seriously suggesting that because Flintoff is causing them a problem we shouldn't bowl him just to be fair? Yeah, because i'm sure the South Africans would do that as well wouldn't they? Stop being babies and deal with it. It's not as if you're condemned to defeat already; with Smith still out there you're still bang in with a chance. Stop moaning.

 

[Simbazz]

Its apperently some doors, not sightscreen.
