1st Test: South Africa v England at Centurion, Dec 16-20, 2009

[Simster]

100 partnership!

And now he's gone for a slog and it's fallen just short of Amla in the deep. What a pity.

 

[The Wizard]

Switch hit again.

 

[MJsGhost]

Do I get any credit for the reverse commentator's curse?!?

 

[Pavilionaire]

When they got Colly and we were 221-7 they were 200-odd in front. Normally, that's a lead of 150 plus at the start of the 2nd innings.

But, hey, there's another 4 and the lead's down to 70!

 

[The Wizard]

Anderson gone, good effort from the lad.

 

[pasty]

Jimmy gone. 348/9

Record 9th wicket partnership for England v SA

 

[The Wizard]

Onions hits it biggg...

 

[Pavilionaire]

What a gutsy knock. He didn't contribute much with the ball, but he's made up for it with the bat.

 

[MJsGhost]

I REALLY hope Swanny gets his ton and stays not out...

 

[Pavilionaire]

Another interesting stat - that Onions boundary means England top order 1-4 have been outscored by the lower order 8-11...

 

[The Wizard]

Swann gone.

 

[Pavilionaire]

62 runs behind. If we could round it off by bagging a couple of wickets in the last 6 overs that would even up the match completely.

 

[MJsGhost]

I REALLY hope Swanny gets his ton and stays not out...

Argh!! Why did I do it?!


Terrific knock though Swanny!

 

[The Wizard]

Prince....BOWLED HIM

 

[Simster]

Got him!!!!!

 

[8ace]

[Taybha]

[Titanic]

Nice

 

[The Wizard]

Night watchman

 

[Pavilionaire]

The Boks have lost all concentration - I think they thought we'd roll over.

Prince was partying over like we were 199-9, now it's time for him to Gett Off!...
