If we go on and win this test (and I for one think we will) it will be one of the best 2nd innings displays ever.

you knows it

brilliant

 

[Pevenseagull]

Tea

Bloody hell

OK, the first innings was SHIT

but it made this possible

 

[Hiney]

3 or 4 years ago we would have folded.

This team is absolute quality but the real test is to come in the summer.

Bring 'em on!!

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

[Pevenseagull]

Talk sport say:

don't focus on the 223/0, it's only 30/0

BOLLOCKS

WHAT A PIECE OF LOVELY

 

[geoffreyp]

too right. the south africans will be telling each other its only 35-0 but believe me it wont feel that way to them, bet they are longing for end of play. does anyone know how many overs left in the day, or time of close of play? would be awesome if we had time to get a lead of a ton by stumps and would be a great way to kick off day 4.

 

[geoffreyp]

262-0. guess thats about 69 lead. still not to worry eh, south africa! its only 69-0 with 2 days to go and all wkts intact
