England Vs South Africa - Cricket Tour 2012

[ArneSlot4PM]

We need just over 6 and over.

KP has hit 3 fours in the first over. If we someow manage to pull this off (we won't), it would be truly amazing.

It's gonna be great watching them try though.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

I was somehow convinced this is day 4 ... England are going to do this, aren't they? 🙁

 

[ArneSlot4PM]

Work has been knocked on the head for the day (at least until KP is out anyway).

 

[ArneSlot4PM]

Cook joining the party.....21 off three overs.

 

[ArneSlot4PM]

Back to work.

KP out.

 

[Red Astaire]

Awwww shame. 🙁

 

[kingjulian]

Lol....it was never going to happen.

Even 200 in 40 overs is too fucking steep....

 

[Portly]

Even 200 in 40 overs is too fucking steep....

Although it wouldn't be anything special in a 40-over game! 🙂

 

[Red Astaire]

Boundry! The dream is still alive! *tongue firmly in cheek*

 

[ArneSlot4PM]

*Puts down pen*

 

[Red Astaire]

That's true but when wides that go down the leg side aren't called in test - you can expect a few of them.

 

[Red Astaire]

9 from the over!

 

[LeTallecWiz]

England are slowing down slightly

 

[Red Astaire]

Yep - they've gone into draw mode. Shame it was quite cool for a bit.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

90-3 ... steyn with cook's wicket ... get two more in the next 10 overs and it can get interesting.

 

[ArneSlot4PM]

It's starting to get twitchy bum time.

 

[Portly]

Yep - they've gone into draw mode. Shame it was quite cool for a bit.

No they are still going for the runs - Prior coming in ahead of Bell. Well done lads! 🙂

 

[ArneSlot4PM]

4 down......Prior run out.

19 overs left.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

come on steyn ...

 

[kingjulian]

This is the kind of day, were Steyn can stake a claim to be one of the all time greatest.

His strike rate through his career has always been phenomenal, but i doubt people would rate him ahead of Donald for example....

If he can make the pressure work for him, and conjure up a spell...then S.A still have a chance to nick this one. It will take a monumental effort though.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

i thought so too julian but alas, it wasn't meant to be ... a draw is a fair result ...

 

[Red Astaire]

A draw is a fair result - I bet KP gets motm though. Well played by both teams though. 🙂

 

[kingjulian]

So whats the deal with Pietersen mock twitter account?

 

[Portly]

Apparently Pietersen suspects that some of the satirical tweets are coming from fellow England players. The guy really is one enormouis twat. 🙄

 

[Red Astaire]

Amen to that. I met a couple of sound SA fans at the cricket last week and they truly hate him. They just reckon he's a massive bellend. They loved and respected Trott though.

 

[kingjulian]

Jeez...the selectors are debating dropping Pietersen? They should go about and do it, not fucking pussy foot around the issue in front of the media!!!

 

[Red Astaire]

I have to be honest. We want cricketers who want to play for England. Not some dummy spitting bellend who clearly wants the IPL cash. Shame though as he's arguably our best player.

 

[SummerOnions]

Kevin Pietersen has released a video interview in which he says he is committed to playing for England in all forms of the game.

 

[Red Astaire]

Would you drop him SO? Bearing in mind his comments to Aggers at the end of the Headingley test.
