*Official* England in South Africa - Page 61

Colly skips down the wicket and smashes Steyn over the covers for four. That's the shot of a bloke who's full of confidence.

9 from the over; looking all too easy. With the obvious rider this is England, so never say never.

Would be fantastic if both of these two could get to 100.

Pothas · 22-11-2009, 08:02 AM

This is almost disturbingly competant from England. I even half enjoying Collingwood for once.

four_or_six · 22-11-2009, 08:03 AM

Shame. Still, very good innings. Up to Colly to take us home then.

Love Boycs - he's just put the throwing issue totally into perspective

GeraintIsMyHero · 22-11-2009, 08:07 AM

What did he say?

Boycs chips in with "it's ridiculous that anyone is banned whilst Murali is still playing", "Murali should be called as a witness for the defence in any throwing case" and "it's unfair that a lesser bowler is banned whilst he's allowed to bowl just because he could potentially get a 1000 wickets."

Never a truer word has been said

GeraintIsMyHero · 22-11-2009, 08:15 AM

Not like Boycs to be so honest!

Pothas · 22-11-2009, 08:16 AM

I think a grumpy Graham Smith is a far more enjoyable sight than a grumpy Ricky Ponting.

BoyBrumby · 22-11-2009, 08:17 AM

Yeesh. 17 off that Steyn over.

Hmmm... not quite.

Common sense umpiring, I do like to see that. Not sure what the exact rules are around referring like that are, but that seemed very sensible.

BoyBrumby · 22-11-2009, 08:21 AM

Interesting call here. Are standing umps allowed to ask the third umpire about waist-high full tosses? Was clearly above, so the right decision was arrived at.

Did Bumble just call a beamer "a ball of full length"?

BoyBrumby · 22-11-2009, 08:24 AM

Dunno. It's Beefy and Knight on Sky just now.

Heck of a shot from Morgan for six. Strong little bugger, I bet. Hits the ball a long way.

EDIT: ton for Colly. Well deserved.
