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

[Barrel of Fun]

From Auntie...

Swann's captivating innings was the highest score by an England number nine since Peter Lever's unbeaten 88 against India at Old Trafford in 1971, and the thrilling stand with Anderson evoked memories of the 108 he shared with Stuart Broad in last summer's Ashes.

Oh well at least one good thing, Bell must be dropped for next Test?
