348-9, Morkel stumped!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

SA all out for 351. Come on England.

Philander gets Cook lbw again.

[Syn]

Cook lbw Philander.

England 5-1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

6-2, why is Strauss leaving ones like that?!

[Syn]

Probably hitting leg

Philander is unplayable at times though. He goes through spells like the one where Australia got bowled out for their lowest score - he sets the batsman up with one that goes straight. But the swing/speed ratio is probably more impressive than even Anderson's.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It doesn't help that Strauss has had multiple brainfarts for quite a long time now, wait, except for the century against the Windies which shut the critics up.

[Syn]

England just looking to survive today, it seems.

12-2 off 10 overs.

Thought, with the big total to chase down, it's an opportunity to score quick runs off the new, hard ball.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Australia are getting closer to that No.1 spot according to Beefy.

16-2 at the close of play.

Time to end Strauss and Cooks Test careers?

All well and good doing it v a piss poor Aussie side but they are on the up, SA are better than us and we are on the way down

Plus it solves the KP conundrum, he is better than both and most if not all would rather have him in the team than either of those 2
