    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    The last 25 mins have allowed us to be cautious against the new ball...hopefully. Come on boys

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

    True, but with a new ball imminent surely Jimmy and Finn wont survive long enough.

    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.
