England v South Africa 1st Test

[Fourteenth Eye]

It is though, train to either Ford or Barnham and then one to Arundel.

Always seems an effort.

Says the man who travels the country by train lol

71/0 27 Ovs. Nearly lunch.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Yeh im going to Arundel for the one dayer, on the 20th

And maybe the 4th day of 4 if we can win it , but i doubt we will win

If results going against us ( 4, 4 dayers starting tommorow) we can be bottom by that game!

 

[Cecil]

After being stuck in that is a great start for England. More of the same after lunch please chaps

I wish Pollock would grow some BALLS and talk like a MAN not some softie!

Jacques Kallis - unbelievable stats:

120 test matches, 9,657 runs, Avg. 57.14, 30 tons, 47 fifties, 230 wickets @ 31.35 apiece. Oh, and 125 catches.

I can't find it a the mo, but there's a bizarre stat about the most wickets a bowler-catcher pairing has made (not including keepers)

Bowled Pollack caught Kallis has the most wickets in tests, 2nd is Bowled Kallis caught Pollack

50 up for Cook

More qualidy Cricinfo analysis:

33.2 Steyn to Cook, 5 no balls, good grief. A no-ball and it's remarkably wide - poor old Boucher hasn't got a hope, parrying it down to third man for four
Here comes Steyn...who pulls out of his run when Strauss, the non-striker, drops his bat by mistake. Muppet.

 

[Pavilionaire]

I can see the headline writers now:

"Boks rocked by Cook Knock"

 

[Pavilionaire]

I had a look at the comparison of the team averages and felt much better about things. If we play Ntini and Steyn with caution then we should be OK with the batting.

Smith and Kallis are huge wickets and I'm relishing the battle between Smith and Sidebottom.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Spinner on, Cook shouldn't last too much longer.

 

[Uncle Buck]

That must be the first 100 opening partnership for a while.

 

[Da Man Clay]

That must be the first 100 opening partnership for a while.

2nd (?) test against NZ I think.

 

[Uncle Buck]

2nd (?) test against NZ I think.

OK...

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Bastard umpire, Strauss gone

 

[CHAPPERS]

Never ever ever was that out.

 

[Hiney]

Shocker
