  • Elgar given not out to Stokes LBW which showed that would have been out on replay - England didnt review.
  • It's weird looking at their batting lineup and seeing so many unfamiliar faces

    When you consider that, over the past 12 months they have lost Smith,Kallis,Boucher(retirement) and Philander(injury).

    I suppose the difference between them and other countries is that the replacements don't seem to have made a name outside of their country (e.g. in Country cricket or IPL) beforehand
  • EOD 137-4.

    Probably England in better position maybe 55-45.
  • 55 for 45 ?
    That's either some triffic bowling, or appalling batting.
  • Tight as you can get, but looked a catch to me and was expecting the finger to go up

    Interesting way to celebrate!

    Brilliant !
  • Speaking on The Verdict, Bob Willis said AB de Villiers is the best ever player across all formats. I'm not disagreeing but that's quite a big statement

    Still only no 4 batsman in the Test? rankings behind 1) Williamson 2) Root and 3) Smith.
    However, i do agree with our Bob.

  • Well I guess he means those who have played Tests, ODI and IT20 which of course will only be a limited number.
    Bradman by his extraordinary superior statistics will always be regarded as the greatest Test bstsman and I'm sure Goose stil personally thinks that The Master Blaster is the best he has ever seen as far as Test cricket goes.

    ABV's average of a little over 22 from 60 T20 Internationals certainly doesn't, statistically, put him near the top of the rankings.

    From purely the perspective of having the greatest range of shots and single handedly winning so many games, however, he has to be right up there.
  • Player? Not just batsman? Just wondering if there is an allrounder, or maybe bowler, more deserving of the title. If all three formats are given equal weight, how about Chris Gayle?

    ABV is a great shout though
  • England having a great start to the day.

    SA now 166 for 7
  • 194-7

    Elgar proving a bit of an immovable object and has carried his bat for 108 to date. In fact, if you exclude ABV's innings of 49, it means that the seven other batsmen have made just 26 between them.
  • 214 all out

    Elgar carries his bat for 118*
  • Well done the bowlers. Lead of 89.
  • Reading through the bbc text commentary and states South Africa have not passed 250 in last seven tests !!!

  • ABV fails to deny that he intends to retire from Test cricket.
  • Steyn off injured having pulled up in the middle of his over. Big blow for SA.
  • Cook out LBW to the spinner Pied

    13-1
  • Steyn off injured having pulled up in the middle of his over. Big blow for SA.

    Taken off to hospital for a scan on his shoulder

    The way he was holding that shoulder suggests a tear. I doubt he'll play again in this series. Huge blow for SA

    LOL - misinformation from commentary box. Steyn hasn't gone to hospital and is actually back on the pitch now!
  • Compton has faced 7 balls in 12 overs
  • That's a seriously impressive leap from Piedt, we should play him at CB this afternoon...

    Trying to protect him from the strike. Well he does bat like a tail ender desperate not to give up his wicket sometimes. He now has 6 from 26.

    Hales 23* (64)

    36-1

    Lead of 125

    This is getting farcical. Steyn bowls another three balls and has to "retire" again.
