England v South Africa - Third Test

[mattb]

Yes, we should have more debates using the levels of intelligence and maturity you have displayed both here and on the 'Robbie Keane' thread

there's no lack of intelligence in my posts, sir

 

[barney]

Close the board and wait until May for us to discuss the football season once it's happened while we're at it

well that would be silly, what would you do then?

and i hasten to add that i do not have the authority to perform said act..

 

[mattb]

Smith has his 100.

 

[mattb]

let's not forget the difficulties we had getting harris out in their first innings

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

They only need 90 now, i can't see them not making it to be honest

 

[pasty]

Smith has his 100.

First ever 4th innings century at Edgbaston according to Botham

 

[barney]

oh my life pietersen coming on to bowl..

if he gets a wicket i will suck myself off

 

[pasty]

KP bowling now

 

[mattb]

if he spent a bit more time working in the nets on his bowling he could be a good all-rounder

Another piss poor performance by our bowlers where can we find another John Snow and Derek Underwood.

It hasnt worked too well with his batting as he can be relied upon to get either next to nothing or 50+ but he is not consistent enough.

i agree with you bensgrandad.. let's slate our best player, and our only genuine world class player who has the ability to be a match winner in any situation.

lost this test then theres no harm in changing the side alot for the final test, bring back Simon Jones and Harmison & Prior just to see what happens!

 

[mattb]

Pietersen out!


No really, how can you complain about a batsman who either does ruddy well or gets a low score? Everyone gets a low score sometimes..

South Africa are coasting to victory and ALL of England's 4 bowlers look totally f***ed.

Sidebottom is slower than normal and ineffectual, Anderson not much better and other than that first spell Flintoff's looked ordinary.

I don't blame the bowlers but, ultimately, it looks like we're unable to bowl them out twice with the 4 bowlers we've picked. I also see that Broad's taken 7 wickets in his county match.

I've got to give credit to Collingwood for his innings but lack of runs from Vaughan, Strauss and Ambrose are really hurting us.

 

[Marc]

Broad was left out for "exhaustion" was'nt he? so whats he doing playing for his County?

When has there EVER been a successful test side with only 4 bowlers?

When has there EVER been a successful test side with only 4 bowlers?

When has there EVER been a successful test side with a captain who is so useless?
