Cricket/South Africa test series

[the plasterer]

South Africa out for 223, leaving England with a first innings lead of 46. Handy, given it's likely to be a low scoring match over the five days. If we can get around 300 second time around, that may well be enough.

Even England won’t fuck this up...................................will they?

Did Trescothick get dressed in the dark this morning?

Be interesting how the openers will bat defend or attack? 300 lead and that should be enough.

Crawley gone for 25, another batsman who got in then didn't push on. 28-1.

I see the experts who wanted to drop Anderson or Broad have red faces this morning. The tail beautifully wrapped up by Jimmy to give us a lead.

 

[jimharri]

Not a bad start; 52-1, lead nearly 100 now. Next target, get to lunch with no further wickets down.

 

[Jacob Smith]

Crawley gone for 25, another batsman who got in then didn't push on. 28-1.

Still a good building block - we’ve made a solid start this morning and put ourselves in the driving seat

Name names Blasphemy!!

98-1 effectively, I think we would have have took that at the end of day 1, Jimmy and Broad showing their class yet again.

250 looks like it should be enough unless the pitch dies completely. So 200 in the second innings. Loads of time, but mustn't get stuck not scoring.
