***Official*** South Africa in England

[steds]

The magnetic turban of schoolboyness does it again.

 

[Goughy]

Shouldnt get bowled between bat and pad but it was very nicely bowled.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Yeah, well bowled, but it was a pretty poor shot. Morkel didn't seem to have much of a clue how to play the spinners.

 

[Jono]

Harris was plumb previous ball tbh, but Monty gets him the next ball.

Theres something great about watching a good spin bowler vs a tail ender. I dont know why but its so entertaining.

 

[jammay123]

because most tail enders feel it is their god given right to slog spinners constantly.

 

[grecian]

I hope Prince gets his ton, Chanderpaul-esque perfromnce, tbh.

 

[social]

First time I've seen Broad for an extended period and, on this performance, I tend to agree with Goughy - not that quick or accurate

I'd expect more potential from someone picked at 22

 

[grecian]

I thought Broad bowled quite well in this spell, none of the batsmen have looked that comfortable. Certainly awkward bounce at times. Bowled better then Steyn or Ntini anyway in this match.

This partnership is getting annoying now.

 

[stumpski]

Hundred up for Prince, tremendous innings under pressure.

 

[andruid]

Go Prince!!!

 

[grecian]

Jolly well played Ashwell

Now please get out, old chap.

 

[stumpski]

This is the highest partnership of the innings, bowlers tiring perhaps?

Always the danger with playing a four man attack.

 

[grecian]

Ahhh, I do like it when a cove is decent enough to accede to a request...

Good innings though, stopped it from being a total walkover, and gives the Saffies a fighting chance of a draw, imo.

Bearing that in mind, should the follow-on be enforced?

 

[stumpski]

Best chance of winning IMO. They have tonight to rest after all.

 

[grecian]

Yeah, make the buggers follow-on, they can rest overnight, and Monty will do a lot of bowling, I'd of thought.

 

[grecian]

Interesting, ball keeping a little low, put KP on at the other end.

 

[Uppercut]

Agreed, it's gotta be enforced with the chance of rain coming in and a 350-odd run lead. Also the pitch at lord's doesn't usually deteriorate heavily.

Not looking good for South Africa. 11 Shiv Chanderpauls would struggle to bat this game out.

 

[stumpski]

How come they're still playing at 6.40? I thought half past was the cut-off time regardless of how many overs remain.
