SA 48/1 off 9.4 overs.
Is it the worst pitch of all time?
Not if the beach at Stamford Bridge still existed.
South Africa are 111-1 at the moment.

Did it in silence I suspect.
Also, South Africa won by eight wickets.
Aussies. :haha:
Amla :bow:
India 334-3 in the second test. Dravid 116* not out, laxman 64*. Looking good for a big total.
345-5
Me :lol:
346-5 at the close
India 613-6 at tea. Don's on 138*, laxmans on 168*.
631-7 declared
Dhoni out on 144. Laxman stuck on 170 odd

Yadav and Ashwin with the wickets

ENGLAND will not host the Test Championship in 2013, the ICC has confirmed.
The newly-establish tournament, between the top-four ranked Test teams, had been pencilled into a packed international calendar.
But ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat has revealed it has been delayed until 2017 at the earliest.
Lorgat said: "I am afraid that [the Test championship] is no longer going to happen in 2013.
"At the last board meeting we decided the first opportunity to play the Test championship is 2017.
"I am disappointed it is not going to take place sooner but it is a reality of the commitments we have already got through to 2015."
Lorgat has been fully behind the introduction of a Test Championship and major venues in England were primed to host the semi-finals.
The intention then was to stage a final at Lord's, the home of cricket.
The ICC admitted last month the tournament was on shaky ground due to the apparent reluctance of broadcasters to embrace the idea.
The Championship was set to replace the Champions Trophy, but the commercial appeal of the 50-over game is set to win out.
Tests :rose:
WI 153 all out
195-3 following on
South Africa are 183-4 at the moment in the second test.
India won by an innings
Real team performance
India won by an innings (and a day and half) against WI even though WI scored 463 following on.
Good news: Dravid, Laxman finding form ahead of the series against Australia. Spinners Ashwin and Ojha impressive. Yuvraj flops and must surely be dropped for Kohli now.
Bad news: Yadav impresses and so will be picked ahead of Aaron again.
A team comfortably wins a series at home? OMFG BEST TEAM EVER!1!
Ollie? :unsure:Quote:

Looks like they have some English in their team as well
South Africa bowled out for 266, Aussies are 83-0 in reply.
152-0 now. :blink:
Watson on 65, Hughes on 79.
Cock! I want Australia to fucking lose and lose well!Quote:

:haha:
Dave @ cricinfo: "Ponting's last 13 scores are 0, 9, 12, 1, 10, 20, 44, 4, 48, 28, 8, 0, 0. Can anyone survive that ? On current form, he's a weak link!"
Tendulkar has been playing, by his own unparalleled standards, awful. His last 13 scores are: 38, 7, 76, 23, 91, 40, 16, 56, 34, 12, 14*, 146, 13...an average of 47.1
Michael Clarke gone. 211/4
Would anyone bet against Australia being bowled out under SA's 266? 174-0 FFS.
This series has been awesome.
Aussies :pal:
(C'mon Saffers - just 2 to go cheaply and Australia have thrown away their advantage!)
Aussies bowled out for 296.
So they lead by 30.
Anybody's game from here. The small first innings lead is probably wiped out by the fact that batting in the 4th innings is a disadvantage.
These next 20 or so overs left today are absolutely crucial.
Play stopped for bad light after 4 balls of the SA innings.
Well judged, umpires. :lol:
Apparently there's a storm heading tonight but they're optimistic it'll be fine for play in the morning.
Would be a big shame if rain prevented a result.
Why not turn floodlights on?
South Africa are 40-1, Rudolph goes for 24.
94-3 at lunch.
Pakistan beat SL in an ODI
Some English/South African cricketer who played 40 Tests for England back in the 60s has died.
I see the England&SA isnt a recent thing then
Also rip
SA 191-3 at Tea
South Africa are 266-7, Amla got a century. They lead by 236 currently.
Developing into a cracker this one. SA lead of 264 with three wickets remaining, and it's turning all over the place.
Immediately after the lunchbreak a wicket goes. South Africa are 314-8.
314-9, Cummins gets another one! He's on a hat-trick.
