Incredible test match a gwarn - SA v AUS (merged)

[Mr Blobby]

That's what I called a highlights package. Plenty of wickets, dropped catches, referals, overturns and stats. How they fitted into the time and still had time for Pie man key, Cork the understated and Charles.........heaven only knows

Key will soon be the size of Russel Grant! 234-2 Smith 99 not out.

South Africa win by 8 wickets. What a remarkable Test Match.

I'd like to think we can bat that long but i fully expect smith out lbw the useless tosser

Graeme Smith 100*

Just back from Newlands stadium, good century by Smith there's a reason I don't bet on sports anymore He's still a useless tosser though

I thought he won the toss and inserted... which seemed quite a good move really.

I have no gripe with his captaincy skills which in general are very good, I do have a problem with his attitude and recent form with the bat.

England v West Indies was at Lords in 2004 - someone who responded on twitter

I was there for that, and for the next day when England were chasing a very modest total but Curtley Ambrose and Courtney Walsh bowled brilliantly to keep the pressure on throughout - incredibly tense day's cricket. Dominic Cork won us the game in the end. All that and I was there for FREE on a jolly.

The match that saw all 4 innings in a day at Lords was at the end of June 2000. England v West Indies 2nd test Lords 2000. I know this because I was sat in the Compton Stand.

Ambrose retired from test cricket at the end of that 2000 tour of England, and Walsh retired in 2001...

The 2004 Lords test was a much more high scoring affair. England v West Indies 1st test Lords 2004
