South Africa vs England

[Joe Le Taxi]

Swann is ace and fucking funny.

 

That is all.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Letting this one go after a good start to today. Draw looks favourite on day 5 tomorrow, unless we collapse. England and collapse....i'm worried.

[Guest PurpleNose]

1-0.

 

Well nearly.

[Ian Sea]

Fantastic Test this, proper cricket.

 

We really need to dig in now, lets get the draw; I reckon we deserve it overall.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Hanging on. 208/6 with 8.3 overs remaining. Was looking a certain draw until Bell hung his bat out to throw his wicket away. That's 7 runs he scored over the two innings, how many more chances can we afford to give him.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Oh Christ. Prior out now, 3 wickets left and 8 overs to survive.

[RobbieOR]

Typical England this.

[RobbieOR]

Hahahaha.

 

9 down. This is so funny.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Swann and Collingwood doing ok here. S.A need 2 wickets and only 3.2 overs left. Fuck, Swann out as i type. Make that 1 wicket off 3.1 overs. Depressing stuff if we lose this one. Draw was always looking good until Bell end got himself out. Not just his fault like, but he played a stupid shot under the circumstances.

[RobbieOR]

Nothing to do with Bel. It's Pietersen.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Nothing to do with Bel. It's Pietersen.

 

Pietersen batted well and made 81 off 191 balls taking up valuable time at the crease. Bell lasted 17 mins and made 2 runs. Not sure how you come to your conclusion.

[RobbieOR]

Because Pietersen ran himself out. Bell got out to good bowling.

Look what they contributed. Plus Bell was out to a stupid shot, the ball what got him out was wide and he didn't need to play at it. I can only assume you ain't watching it.

[Guest PurpleNose]

Bell isn't good enough.

 

Pietersen is. But he's an egoistical, selfish fuckwit.

 

Rather a team of Collingwoods.

[Hand Shandy]

Last over - Smith has given it to Ntini in his 100th test...

I am watching it. Just because Pietersen made 81 doesn't make him untouchable. He shouldn't have run as there was no run on. The Bell wicket was back of a length. It wasn't unplayable but it was still a good delivery.

Durham partnership to the rescue?

I agree about Pietersen, but Bell contributed a hell of a lot less and deserves stick.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

2 balls left.

 

EDIT: Last ball now.

No probs mate, i don't rate Pietersen and the run out was silly to say the least. But bell is crap and losing his wicket when he did just proves he can't handle any pressure and shouldn't be concidered again imo.

 

4 balls to hold on for a draw. Oh me nerves.

[Remmie]

Last ball!

[bigal]

Bell has had a multitude of chances, like Shah etc he isn't good enough consistently.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Job done. Draw it is.

[Remmie]

Onions you little ninja!

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Phew... Don't want to sit through that again for a while.
