WHY AM I IN WORK TODAY???????

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Hopefully get them out so we have to chase less than 100. 120-140 would also be OK but any more and SA get a few early wickets it could be squeaky bum time on this wicket.

You have to give credit to this South African coverage. The birds on display here are quality

Get in Stokes, off you pop Rhubarb.

Another one bites the dust

SA 12/1 for the win, could be worth a cheeky bet in the hope it definitely loses.

Snowing like fuck here, kind of surreal watching cricket whilst the white stuff is coming down.

Where is here? It's just bastard freezing here.

I need to go to the offy - can't work out when I should go.

 

I want a tin to watch this but don't want to miss a wicket.

Fucking knew it!

Bielefeld, Germany. It's coming down that thick its like a foggy day. Thankfully I got shopping out of the way at lunchtime in the cricket.

Jammy bastard, I need to order some more of that stuff.

Very few players in the world are capable of the spell that Broad threw down in the middle of that session. Totally unplayable.

5 wickets for 1 run, that is just match changing stuff.

Not even like it's the first time he's done it. Durham 2013, Trent Bridge 2015, he's easily one of the best bowlers on the planet and one of the best we've ever had. It has it's moments but our attack is boss.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Cheers.

 

I have my JB. Tempted to go to the Off-licence near the Lidl Markt later as they sell Magners for 2€ a 0.5 L bottle. Not as good as Thatchers imo and a bit pricey, but its a case of have or have not.

When he's in this vain of form he is clearly a great bowler and like you have said, he has done this in 7 different test matches. He can be pretty naff at times though, especially when he reverts to the short ball too much, but if he is winning us series with spells like this afternoon then you have to forgive him for those lapses in confidence/stupidity.

Cheerio.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

9 down.......gone upstairs, looked out to me. It is, 9 down 1 to go. 

[lifetime fan]

Fuck and off.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

What a catch to wrap up the innings and quite deserved that broad got the final wicket and catch. Take a bow son. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

74 to win, surely we can't fuck this up. 

[Dan Vito Corleone]

And an absolute gem of a catch to finish it off. Beast.

[Stickman]

Brilliant from Broad totally unplayable

Interesting there all these years I've hated Graeme Smith and now I've found out he's a red......how wrong you can be about someone.
