[Cricket] 3rd Test: South Africa v England at Johannesburg

[Titanic]

Bairstow DROPS ONE... high to his left, no too tricky

 

[knocky1]

It's about average - think they said average is about 320 ?

DROP from Bairstow.

313 low then.

 

[Titanic]

Anderson been removed from the attack by the umpire Aleem Dar for running on the wicket

Stokes continues the over.... and takes the last wicket!

South Africa 313 all out (99.3 overs)

All 11 batsmen in double figures, but none made 50.

Stokes 3-53, Finn 2-50, Broad 2-82, Ali 1-50, Anderson 1-60,

6 catches and an excellent run out for Bairstow.

Well bowled England

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Great bowling change from Aleem Dar

313 a/o

Bairstow has tied Grout and Jack Russell for most catches in a test vs South Africa. One more would have broken the record.

Only the 13th time in test history all 11 players have reached double figures in an innings.

And in those 13, is this the first time none of them went on to get a 50?

I'd take this from the toss but I cant help but think they have 50 runs more than they should due to slack bowling. What was Broad trying to do ? When you get tail enders pulling you quite comfortably surely it's not worth digging it in. doh !

According to cricinfo - yes!

Also Stokes the youngest England test player to reach 50 wickets and 1,000 runs since...Sir Ian Botham.

 

[pasty]

Is it a low score for The Wanderers?

Average test run rate there is 3 per over

Saves me posting something very similar, Broad tends to get brain fade but shouldn't his Captain be having words?

Cook needs a score of 178 to reach 10,000 test runs, he says optimistically.

"Now look here Broad, you can take your 324 test wickets and stick 'em up your arse, we need to keep it TIGHT!"

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Oh Hales...

 

[Titanic]

Hales fails.

10-1

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

Hales the first person to fall this match without reaching double figures

No foot movement at all.

No foot movement at all.

Such a shame as I love him as a cricketer and really wanted him to succeed as an opener
