If Eng can get the last 3 wickets for say 20 odd runs they have a chance of winning this test !!!

Finn bowling a cracking spell...

Cmon, lets keep these last 3 wickets cheap and get them under 350. We have the batting quality to chase 350 on this pitch

The record run chase was 344, its a very tough ask

FFS Cook play straight you prick and get your head over it

The faults of 2 years are back again for him, playing around his pad all the time...

 

[Richie]

FFS, our top order have been so poor this series

 

[Jurgen the German]

Cook out already!

 

[Richie]

Lets be honest, South Africa have been the better side in all 3 games this series. Looks like we'll lose to the better team, it happens

In the 1st test they were, but the 2nd and this have been nip and tuck every session

Its close, but I really think they have edged it in every area even this and the last test

 

[Jurgen the German]

brick!!

 

[Richie]

If Strauss wasnt captain, would he even be in the side?

But SA have won all the key moments pretty much

No he wouldn't, he really isn't up to it anymore. Try telling the selectors and flower that though.

Good show on Aussie tv at the moment called Howzat about when Kerry Packer started World Series Cricket. If you can download, it's worth a gander. Fair bit of it you poms would relate to, Tony Greig is a key character in this.

 

[ArcspacE]

I think it's gonna go down the wire today!

 

[P.D.]

What when you are 4 down already? I dont think so. Will be 8/9 down by tea I'd expect.

 

[Greg]

If Bairstow bats all day we win.

 

[markysimmo]

115/4 at lunch, if these 2 can bat till tea, it could be on !!!

 

[Richie]

Trott gone, game over. Might as well see Broad and Prior just play some big shots now
