South Africa in England

[The Dark Knight]

Go South Africa!!!!

[Media Park]

Yeah I think Kallis is a legend, but he was quoted saying that he was keen to have a good series, I think his Test average in England is like 33, so if that's his worst, you wouldn't be too upset generally.

[Squids]

Bopara out for 22

well safe to say he has scored doubled what I expected him to for the entire series.

[Media Park]

Hope he plays in the Ashes, there'll be at least one bunny in their top seven that way

[RustyCage]

Eng 5/177 at lunch on day 5

Smith out but it was a dead ball. Did anyone see what happened?

[stampy]

saffers 0/84 at lunch, whats that now 2/700+ so far this series?

[brod]

Bit of a surprise to drop Swann.
England won the toss and had to bowl with a seam only attack and then couldnt get a break through in the first session
And yes SA 2/721 in 216 overs in the series

Smith out but it was a dead ball. Did anyone see what happened?

Steve Finn kept hitting the stumps with his right knee as he bowled, apparently Smith said something to the umpire about it and fromt hen on (including a wicket) it was called dead ball under the following law
Law 23.4 (vi) which states that either umpire can call dead ball if: "The striker is distracted by any noise or movement or in any other way while he is preparing to receive, or receiving a delivery."

[the joker]

Smith out, including the first test the poms took 10 hours between wickets

[Media Park]

RSA 5-262 at Stumps:
AN Peterson 124* (batted all day, and I considered him the weak link in their batting department)
GC Smith 52
AB Devilliers 47
With the use of Steyn as a failed nightwatchman (out for 0 from 6 balls), next man in is Duminy batting at a lowly 8.

Anderson, Broad, Finn, Bresnan all one wicket each, Amla run out.

It took peterson four hours to make seventy runs after he had played himself in. He's the weak link in that line up all day long but averages more than 40.

Smith Amla Kallis Devilliers are on a completely different level compared to Peterson Rudolph Duminy Price McKenzie Boucher. That has always been South Africas problem.
