  • I went Friday & Sunday. There's no doubt SA are the better team. They have the edge in both batting & bowling.
    We've given them a good game, but there's only going to be one outcome.

    NB Had to watch the afternoon's play on the big screen at the Nursery End yesterday as it was far too hot for me in the sun. No doubt it's just me, but how people can sit in that hot sun all day is beyond me.

    Len, I always shyte meself when you post on a cricket thread cos 9 times out of 10 it's to say another wicket has gone down!

    Sorry!

    Well it's a dirty job but someone has to do it.
  • 208-6. Broad 37* & Prior 34*

    138 to win, 35.3 overs left.

    There were plenty of red sweaty faces on friday as we left at the end of the day. thankfully we were in the lower tier and in the shade which had a lovely breeze.
    I've got very sunburnt at cricket before, especially if its breezy and I've had a few pints of pimms!
  • Well I jinxed that. Next ball, Broad is caught out in the deep.
  • I'm not going to post anything to jinx this...but if you're not watching turn the tv on.
  • don't! Guaranteed disaster to start watching something like that.
  • Surely we can't pull this off...surely...
  • 73 needed.
    26 Overs Left.
    3 Wickets in hand
  • I think SA are just letting the fans get a bit excited. These two need to pretty much see it out. A new ball is due soon aswell. Steyn, Philander and Morkel are too good to lose this. We won't score more than 300.

  • hope we just keep hitting it around the park, don't start playing slowly
  • New Ball due in three over, buys us a bit of time for caution, we will hold our nerve?
  • run rate of 3 won't be an issue, especially with these 2. New ball due any minute though.
  • 66 off 151. New ball 2.1 overs.
  • The last 25 mins have allowed us to be cautious against the new ball...hopefully. Come on boys
  • the bbc text feed is like a match day thread on here - refresh refresh refresh!!!

  • Bollocks. All up to how well Prior can protect the tail-enders.

  • no protecting, he needs to hit bout 10 balls for 6 and we will win
  • It's the hope that kills ya.
  • Run outs are criminal in this form of cricket and we've had two!
  • oh no Swanny!
  • no protecting, he needs to hit bout 10 balls for 6 and we will win

    True, but with a new ball imminent surely Jimmy and Finn wont survive long enough.
  • I would snap your hand off if you gave me the win now.

    24 overs left
    63 needed
    2 wickets left
  • And that is that.
  • nah, its all over now. Strauss, Cook, Bell and Taylor scored 12 between them. If one of them had made a fifty we could have won.
  • amazing scenes
