Cook. :doh:
Finn gets smith out caught behind but hits the stumps on his run up so it's a dead ball.
Not the first time he's done it.
Muppet.
England really don't want to be pissing about with Smith. :(
Strauss argued the 'dead ball' decision to the umpire by saying 'it's going to happen every over'...
Learn the rules, you dick. The umpire has said it can't happen so tell Finn to sort it out.
Hitting the stumps in a run up happens every over? :unsure:

It has happened with Finn 2 or 3 times already and, yeah, according to Botham he does it all the time. Interesting that it hasn't happened since the 'wicket' though...Quote:

Finn needs to sort his life out, it's not like he's Patel blubbering his way to the crease.
SA 60-0
Petersen has his 50 already
Smith only on 10
That's a sehwag of a fifty. Had about 17 lives in that. Not been impressed by him at all.
So an entertaining 50 then and scored off 30 odd balls?
The way Cricket should be played
Rather have 50 off 30 balls than 100 off 250 balls
This was more fun when we were playing the Windies.
:lol:
Don't really get why England wanted to bowl. Unless you're confident of bowling the opposition out on day 1, never bowl first in a test match.
Strauss must've considered it a fluke we only managed two wickets, rather than realising their batting is rock solid. Having said that, the Aussies annihilated us at Headingley in 2009 so I wasn't expecting too much from this one anyway.
84-0. Smith said he would've batted had he won the toss.
Good work Strauss.
116/0 off 35 overs.
smith is out
Amla run out.
Shit just got real.
Bresnan. :bow:
kallis is out, caught cook bowled anderson
Play is back on after a very long rain delay. 194-3 currently, Petersen is nearing his century.
Petersen gets it.
Love watching de villiers bat.
254-4, Broad gets De Villiers for 47. :bow:
Steyn in as nightwatchman. :lol:
259-5, Finn gets Steyn!
:haha:
262-5 at the close of play. Fairly even I would say.
318-6, KP gets Rudolph! :haha:
Forgot about this
All about the Olympics tbh
Nevertheless Rudolph :haha:
Stick to pulling Santa around on Xmas
Yeah, still don't rate Peterson....
353-7, Broad gets Petersen!
375-8, Finn gets Philander.
414-9, Broad gets Morkel. :bow:
South Africa all out for 419, Anderson with the final wicket.
Tahir. :wave:
Fuck England&SA. Absolute scum.
:rolleyes:
Anyway, rain stopped play. In fact that will probably be it for the day.
Strauss has to try and restart an innings.
:rose:
65-1, Philander get Cook for 24. :doh:
Rain stopped play, again.
