England v South Africa - Third Test

[SJ's Love Monkey]

We've just bowled SA out for 300 odd and it's not going to get better by the time they bat again. 250 would give us a CHANCE. We'd probably still lose, but at least it would be interesting. If we're seriously going to go for a win, we need 300.

Highly unlikely now though Badg

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

Indeed. We'll be lucky to get 200 now.

Collingwood has got to take charge now (what a difference one innings makes eh?!)

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

Ambrose can bat, like Colly he is going through a horrible trot, but he has got out of it (hopefully) today, so while clutching at those straws might Ambrose

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I have always like Colly and delighted to see him get his century with a superb 6 over the bowlers arm. Good stuff and the atmosphere looks and sounds electric.

chuffed for colly, he is a good lad

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

Brilliant comeback by Collingwood, shows the character of the man to post a ton after the run he has been on. Unbelievably he is the key to a victory or defeat now

 

[Marshy]

new ball not long into the morning, if we get 50 more i would be suprised

 

[Marc]

Ambrose GONE 2nd ball of the day

 

[Statto]

Its all up to Collingwood now!

 

[barney]

colly looking good this morning..


apart from the LBW decision that went his way..


bat until tea and we have to win, it's just whether the tail can hang in there

 

[Questions]

280 about the highest ever total for 4th innings to win a test here but that was before they re-laid them. These are much better and hold up longer.
Its going to be a great finish I think.
Setting them 300 would be very good.

 

[barney]

if that's given out im gonna lose my rag

 

[barney]

phew there it is

 

[Hiney]

How did Shaun Pollock call that as a catch?

NO WAY was that out

 

[Marc]

if the fingers are under the ball its a catch whether the ball touches the grass or not, technically the ball has to bounce on the ground into the hands to be given not out. That ball did not bounce...it was out!

 

[Questions]

Watching the way Sidebottom has batted it makes me feel that Ambrose is just not good enough with bat in hand.
Bring back Prior.

Colly gone. Eng 363/all out

SA require 281 to win.
