[Cricket] 3rd Test South Africa v England

[Beach Hut]

Good day for England in my view, big if but if Pope and Stokes can make big scores we could put SA on the back foot very quickly.

 

[BensGrandad]

If we can add another 125 or thereabout for the last 6 wickets that could be a reasonable 1st innings total

Ollie Pope turning out to be the best thing to come out of Surrey since the A23

Does the A23 come out of Surrey ? I could be wrong, but I'm not sure it comes out or goes into Surrey.

 

[BensGrandad]

The A23 starts at Lambeth North Underground station and passes through Sth London and Surrey to join the M23 at Hooley and then on to Brighton Pier. Comes out goes into depends on which way you are travelling.

Just caught up on this. It's EVERYTHING one could ever want from an NSC test match thread.

I was going to list the points but there's no need.

It's just perfect.

Good game btw. Come on England!

Absolutely not. @BG hasn’t slagged Root off for batting and/or captaincy yet.

He questioned whether or not it was a good idea to bat first.

Box ticked!

So the A23 finishes in Surrey and resumes later in Sussex.

So it neither comes out nor goes into Surrey.

I win.

Good start, however bit of a disappointment that all the batters got a start but didn't manage to go on and get a score.

We need to score 400 but at the current rate that won't come up until tea on the second day. Need time to bowl SA out twice.

Not really because those 2 points are joined by the M23 but the A23 still runs along side of it throuigh Gatwick and Crawley and on down through Handcross and is used by the annual veterans car run in November and other vehicles not allowed on motorways, like learner drivers. etc.

I actually think [MENTION=451]BensGrandad[/MENTION] may have called that right.

I lose.

Maharaj suggested 280 was a par score for 1st innings when interviewed this morning, seems a bit low to me ?

Rabada fined 15% of match fee for over celebrating Root wicket and now out of the 4th test due to being a naughty boy too many times in 12 months

Not sure why they're making a fuss over Rabada's ban. He's got the ban as it's not a one off
