Talk over here of Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake being approached to play in the T20 Big Bash tournament. Bloody pantomime.

Depends how good they are really. After lunch at Lords today he talked about how they both play for a local side. Both fast bowlers mind.

Well bowled son!

I rate Onions, very good bowler, been unlucky with England

Decent fightback but always a mountain to climb. 320-330 would be excellent today but possibly a step too far

 

[Spursalot]

Same back at you.

Seems we could be saying something similar by the close or lunch tomorrow.

Who is he, he has been rubbish...

Bairstow out for 95, he seemed to lose a bit of concentration and the nerves got him, batted superbly well though

Champs to Chumps within 12 months, relegation looms large.

 

[Richie]

Not over yet, but damn dropping Amla for the second time this series could prove costly.

I think we're in this game if we can keep them under 350 and have at least all of Monday to bat. I think that all predicates on getting Amla out without him hurting us much more though.

3 wickets including Amla in the morning session tomorrow and this game is still on.

 

[P.D.]

Lead of 255 with 5 wickets left but Steyn has already gone so SA will bat down to 8/9 now depending on Philanders form.

 

[GLENROYID]

This umpire is an absolute DISGRACE to the game, he has got NOTHING correct this game

Indeed, he gave it not out, it was hitting the stumps so should be given out, its LBW
