Quite a change from day 1. England seemed to be in such a strong position yesterday.
they're still in a very strong position because of the weather ...
South Africa will have some very nice batting weather tomorrow and Sunday by the looks of it.
I still don't get why Peterson is really in this squad -
I still remember when English fans hated Anderson with a passion ... Oh how times changed!

I can give you a clue but I don't want to turn this thread into a Suarez schmozzle.
yah i know ... ashwell prince had the same 'privilege,' and to be honest, jp does too ... it's rather disappointing as the same 'idea' isn't pushed forward in footy ...
25/1 at tea ... I'll be very surprised if both these batsmen are there at day's end ...
Did i ever mention that im a huge Kallis fan.... I liked him even when he was bald, that says everything...
My fav south afrivan cricketer... After Cronje, Rhodes and Pollock...
how can anyone not have loved Donald? Man oh man, i loved him ... also love Brian McMillan ... but my favorite was Jonty ... Met him in Israel two years ago (lovely chap).
He was a bit of a meanie to Indian batsmen... I did not like Donald as a kid... But i could watch him bowl all day...
Was he not mean to anyone?
Ya. But when i started wat hing cricket it was all about India... So it hurt more when he was mean to the indian batsmen... Now i can enjoy a game taking that aspect completely out of my mind..
Donalds bowling action has to be one of the most exhilarating in the history of cricket...

Smith
Smith has one of the ugvliest batting technique ive ever seen in the game.
His stance, backlift, fllowthrough... Everything is ugly.... He bats like a butcher.
Every time i see his stance, i want to walk over and punch him in the face....

Second new is due and Anderson needs to make it count..
Missed the whole day but it seems we're in good position here to try and go for win. Bat out until lunch - get a lead of 200-300 and then hope to bowl England out. Long shot, but definitely possible.
Guess for this inning he's not.

It's got draw written all over it though -
I hope Smith is not thinking along those lines.... Cuz SA have too many match winning bowlers to play it safe like that...
Is Matt Prior also South African born?
SA should just adopt some of the English lads for footy purposes - it's not like you need all of 'em!
We are not unique in what we do. South African have played 43 players born outside of South Africa in the past. Most born in England.
I think England have picked 61 'overseas' players but then we have also selected twice as many test crickers...Jonny Baistow being the most recent (652)

Where's the list (just curious)? We have Tahir now (I think that's it?)
