First topic message reminder :

Yeah, the fielding certainly has left alot to be desired. Still the chances are being created and things must surely stick soon.

by Hibbz Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:33 pm

Sickening way to get out.

by mystiroakey Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:33 pm

swann great knock did your part!

Very stupid run out. With that said, England are still in this.

by mystiroakey Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:34 pm

required rate is 2.6- this is hurting my insides

by alfie Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:35 pm

Bl...y run outs...

Good work from Tahir ...

At least that onslaught has meant they only need two and a bit an over now.

But it is a lot to ask of Anderson and Finn to stay with him...

by Peter Seabiscuit Wheeler Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:35 pm

Ah well. Prior Englands man of the series? For his keeping (and lack of competition) more than this innings

by mystiroakey Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:36 pm

prior on strike- last over before the new ball!!

by trebellbobaggins Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:37 pm

Tahir.. Average but seems to get some wickets.

by mystiroakey Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:37 pm

another wicket

by Mad for Chelsea Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:37 pm

by mystiroakey Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:38 pm

by Mike Selig Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:38 pm

Great effort from Prior.

Right shot to take on, just didn't get hold of it.

Or not. No-ball!

Game on still.

by mystiroakey Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:38 pm

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

by kemet Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:38 pm

HA HA! Those no-balls always come back to bite the quickies in the backside! I recall a situation involving Kemar Roach in the NZ series.

by eirebilly Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:39 pm

Steady as she goes Prior Wink

by mystiroakey Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:39 pm

Drama at its best lads.. What a game

by Hibbz Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:39 pm

Quality they got one for the run too!

by trebellbobaggins Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:39 pm

Prior has been a rare positive for sure.

It's been a cruel examination of what is probably the Third best side in tests.

Let's hope England can respond in future. SA have some old duffers kicking about now and eng have found some youth.

by guildfordbat Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:39 pm

Real test of concentration for all coming up after the no=ball ...

by **Fists of Fury** Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:39 pm

What a criminal waste that run out was. We still had a sniff with Swann there. Alas!

by Mike Selig Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:40 pm

Anderson on strike now. Hang in there son.

by dummy_half Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:40 pm

First no ball of the innings as well Very Happy

by mystiroakey Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:40 pm

get your hat toaster ready FOF

by eirebilly Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:41 pm

Just a couple of lucky Anderson edges required now Wink

by kemet Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:42 pm

If England go on to win this, that no-ball will haunt Morne's dreams for a while.

by hodge Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:42 pm

Damn Smith's bucket hands! that would have been a couple

by Duty281 Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:43 pm

New-Ball time, Anderson on strike. 60 to go.

by Mad for Chelsea Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:43 pm

ach, Prior can't get the single, Anderson on strike against the new ball.

by Mad for Chelsea Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:44 pm

or not. Tahir still on

by hodge Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:44 pm

interesting, not taking the new ball.

by JDizzle Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:44 pm

Good call I think. Keep Tahir on with Jimmy on strike. Leave the new ball for a few overs.

by mystiroakey Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:44 pm

New balll.......... Shocked

by Mike Selig Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:44 pm

New ball then. Could be over quickly now.

Or not. Tahir to continue.

by eirebilly Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:44 pm

Hhhhmmm, thats interesting...

by dummy_half Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:44 pm

South Africa's biggest cricket screw up since Klusener dropped the catch in the World Cup semi-final?

Still don't see us making the runs, but it's been a more than creditable effort from the lower order batsmen. Pity four of the top 6 only got single figures (OK, you can remove the blame from Taylor, but the other three...)

by trebellbobaggins Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:44 pm

Pollock on tms is loving seeing his side go top. Can't blame him.

Never felt secure at the top for us, seemed ropey as soon as we got there.

I reckon they will be there a long time. The new Aussie.

by mystiroakey Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:45 pm

JIMMY JIMMY

by JDizzle Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:46 pm

I think that's out.

by hodge Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:46 pm

benefit with the batsman.......

plllleeeasseeee!

by mystiroakey Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:46 pm

oh balls

by Mad for Chelsea Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:46 pm

not out, just got back Very Happy
