155/9 now. Disaster

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Dammit, I finish working nights and think I'll have a good sleep & wake up to watch a bit of good cricket....and find we're already nine down

Instead I'll no doubt get to watch the irritating Graeme Smith proceed to demonstrate that there's absolutely nothing wrong with the pitch.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Anderson is BRILLIANT with the ball swinging, let's hope he can bamboozle a few of the top order in a bit.

I will wait until we see what happens to the Saffers before reaching for the Valium and a razor blade.

And presumably that's why Sidearse is in the side too... well it wasn't for his batting!

Exactly. I've not lost all hope for this test just yet

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Exactly. I've not lost all hope for this test just yet

Interesting use of the word YET

the yarpies will be better at playing the bouncy stuff

 

[Simster]

Can I just say that I haven't got a clue why Anderson comes in after Sidebottom. I know it's not his job, but has Sidearse ever done anything with the bat at test level?

 

[Trigger]

Have we LOST yet?

 

[CHAPPERS]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I f***ing hate Ryan Sidebottom. Lumbering OAF.

It's Thursday Trigger, not Saturday.

I must admit, I struggle to see him as anything but this.

 

[keaton]

I've not lot lost hope, we've got two bowlers who thrive in swing, they've got two out of form batsmen and two debutants

 

[Simster]

How long before a commentator describes this partnership as providing "useful runs"? Because that would be complete bollocks, seeing as SA will get 350 on this wicket and be miles ahead by the time we bat again.

 

[Trigger]

It's Thursday Trigger, not Saturday.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten about the rain delay!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I'll say it again. I f***ing love Graeme Swann.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

They will be useful runs if they take us over the 200 mark. Edit: Doh all out 180
