South Africa v England, 2nd Test - Durban

[jakarta]

Cook & Collingwood - what an exciting pair they are.

I have some paint drying so think I'll cut along and watch that for a while.

Hopefully the new ball will get rid of them and we can have some proper batting from Prior, Broad & Swann (obviously Bell will go straight away)

 

[Marc]

it is a dull test match so far, new ball next over so that should spice things up abit

 

[jakarta]

Cook goes for 118, how long will Bell last?

NB hopefully not very long so we can watch Prior & the other strokemakers going after a pretty poor bowling attack

325/4 might be worth hitting out and trying for a 100 plus lead in my view.

 

[jakarta]

Set up for Prior surely, he only gets runs for England when they are in a dominant position.

Do the right thing by your side & tread on your stumps Collingwood......

Even Bell is scoring quick runs FFS!

Good time for Prior to hit out.

colly out

Excellent, both the painters out - get on with it Prior!

 

[Dave the OAP]

Prior not settled as yet

377 for 5

Lead of 34

 

[vegster]

Sounds like Matty is all over the place ?

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

About 5 overs left to hold out and then he can play himself in tomorrow morning.

Morkel is bowling well.

 

[Beach Hut]

383/5 lead of 40.

I would suggest a lead of 200 plus then declare and bowl at SA

 

[Beach Hut]

Stumps 386/5

Definitely our day with a lead of 43.

As I have said get to 200 ahead and declare is the best option.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Just wonder if we have the ablility to take another 10 wickets over a day if we can build a lead. Should be a good days viewing.

I feel relatively confident we bowled very well first time round and Broad and Swann looked the part.

Yes I hope they can get into them in the evening if we can post some runs.
