Cricket/South Africa test series

[Jacob Smith]

I'm only joking but if they are going to go to 4 day tests then they may have to debate their approach.

I don’t think 4 day tests will happen. People who don’t like test cricket still wouldn’t watch it if it was 4 days and people who do like it want to keep 5 days

With a lead of just 209 and two days left? Are you mad or just joking?

I'm joking lol

Possibly, the issue in this country is of course the weather.
I dont think it will change and will stay at 5
days.

Good haha.

England now effectively 217 for two. We can't lose this one now............can we?

Nice to see Jimmy get another five-for. He has 29 now in Tests, I believe.

Correction -it's 28. Still a great feat.

Potential collapse notwithstanding, we should try to bat until lunch tomorrow. Should be close to 350 ahead by then, which ought to be enough to at least not lose. That'd give the bowlers 5 sessions to prise out the Proteas.

Be nice to bat South Africa right out of the game.

 

[andyhinch]

The most professional batting performance I’ve seen from England for a good while.
