***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

[Pratters]

65% or so by Charles Bannerman in the first test match.

 

[cricman]

I'd back SA if they can get the deficit under 50

There you go..

Has Woakes looked even remotely threatening during this innings?

Did reasonably with the new ball and should have had a wicket (Amla dropped on 2). Shown up a bit by Broad though.

 

[Howe_zat]

This sucks

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Brilliant innings by Elgar, shame for him nobody else helping him.

Just waiting for that new ball and it should be over quickly.

 

[Howe_zat]

Would give Stokes a run before the new ball.

 

[Jono]

So happy for Elgar

 

[Magrat Garlick]

“Can you imagine eternity with Elgar?”
Aziraphale shut his eyes. “All too easily,” he groaned.

Knew comments like this would start. Had Amla dropped and bowled superbly first spell and been dry all match.

 

[Howe_zat]

That's a new ball review isn't it. Almost as bad for the viewer as the unheralded wicket replay

 

[91Jmay]

God this is annoying now. Pray the new ball works straight away

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So close to dropping that.

 

[Howe_zat]

After all that about hanging around to support the batsman.

Steyn deserved that, it was a flukey as **** innings

 

[fredfertang]

A relief - was just about to beat the kids in an effort to change our luck

 

[Howe_zat]

Hey Moeen could get five here

A relief - was just about to beat the kids in an effort to change our luck

Is that a euphemism?

 

[Stapel]

Why oh why did you do that Dale Willem Steyn? A small first innings lead for SA would have brought this game into the middle of balance. This partnership really made me think it would be possible! Still fairly balanced though, this game.

Bowled well with new ball but hasn't backed it up since is a fairer comment. He is the man to go if Jimmy is fit for the next test.

Could use same comment about Finn, first spell by far his best.

Why would that partnership make you think that, Steyn was edging and mi**** everything, Ridiculously lucky to have got what he did.

edit, haha mi**** censored, welcome to the new morality.
