5-1, Bell goes for four.McKay with the wicket, Bell should've spent less time messing about with his helmet and gloves.

Alec Stewart's comments about Boucher.

Also feels he needs to comment on Andy Murray. Leave it to the experts, Alec.
Looks like South Africa were busy before they came to England:
England should do the same. FatelSmith and his players have prepared for the demanding series with a training camp in Switzerland, which included biking and climbing on mountain peaks in the Alps.
"We scaled a few Alps and it was three or four of the toughest days physically that the guys have had in their careers," added Smith.
"It was a good three days in terms of breaking down mental barriers and getting the mental confidence to come away and to perform on tour in England."

Rain stops play. What a shit summer.
Time to build a retractable roof tbh
Over the entire country? Sounds good.
Players are coming back out, England need to bat 20 overs to consistute a game. Come on spinners.
29 over game now.![]()
34-2, Clarke gets Trott! Great ball.
England look safe now.
Chris in Aberdeen, via TMS inbox: "For me, Mark Boucher will leave a legacy similar to Freddie Flintoff's; not a great batting average and not many centuries. But a true match winner, who can change the momentum of a match in a second. He will be very difficult to replace."![]()
Yeah, England just haven't been able to replace a #decent-pace-bowler-and-shit-batsman. That's why they're not the best team in the world right now.
Flintoss was shit. Boucher wasn't great but he was usually good for a 30 not out in the days when SA had no middle order. Can't remember much of his wicket-keeping; a WK has to be exceptionally good to get my attention. All my focus is always on the bowling and batting.
98-2, Cook gets another fifty.![]()
