233 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip JFK, when on form Bell is a very good batsmen, was surprised a while back though to see former captain Michael Vaughan (I think it was) on writing about Bell say he thought he was as talented a batsmen as King Kallis, thought surely you’re having a laugh he can’t be that good
broad gone caught behind!!! steyn you beauty!!!
Another one bites the dust….
Just as well we have the appeal system in cricket. Wish we had that in rugby sometimes.
8 down now… 🙂
210/8 and the end is near!!
240 @ Just For Kicks:
Oh YESSS!!! Well what do I know maybe they don’t need Tahir, there must be a reason Smith is captain and not me, I guess I just try to ‘think out of the box’ too much at times when it comes to cricket, even after all these years still need to just be patient and not try force things
We have done well with the new ball. Also see great weather there no clouds anywhere at all. We should win this, they can’t hold on for another 3 hours surely?
Come on boys finish them off….
244 @ ashley:
So it is Ash. Hope we beat them by a innings that would be awesome. If not we still gonna beat them.
@ Bullscot:
Hau!!! 12 hours….;that’s rough bro, you must be chasing the ‘mighty $’ big time over there.
But, as they say, ‘make hay while the sun shines’ (or in my case, moon shine.
@ Puma: Hello GrootKat! Bit of a ‘cat and mouse’ rugby week, can’t wait for Newlands, gonna be one mother of a game daar onner die Platberg….
puma @ 247
i’ll take the innings victory, thanks!! ;grin:
248 @ Pietman:
Piet it should be a cracker of a game. Hope all the Shark boys are rested and no injuries. Team got back into Durbs around 9pm last night.
swan gone. Stupid shot, deserves to go. Steyn rightly giving him his marching orders
Congratulations Graeme Swann, thats Swann just gone to 1000 runs in test cricket with an average of almost 22 not bad for a number 10 batsmen, just don’t shine today Swannie
And another one bites the dust…..
swann gone. why send jimmy out?
9 down only a matter of time now.
251 @ Just For Kicks:
Great another wicket JFK! Gosh I’m really a bit behind today, need to learn to type faster, maybe do need to get some more rest this side
New ball worked a treat for us today.
Whooop!
England 218 / 9
One little wicket needed to win… and England still trail by 34 runs
19 wickets now on a flat track against the 2 of england!!! good good reading that!!!
254 @ ashley:
Just to make him suffer a bit more after a long slog with ball in hand and to show first hand from a batsmen’s point of view that the wicket is not that dead so he should have taken more than one himself
Interesting tweet –
If SA win by an inngs, it’ll be the most comprehensive Test win ever in terms of diff between runs per wkt of winning and losing teams
259 @ ashley:
Snap see my post just after yours was thinking along similar lines, what do they say Great minds think alike or is it a case of fools seldom differ?
259 @ ashley:Can’t agree more, a brilliant bowling performance, and the batting, where as England have by and large got themselves out with rash shots, I don’t remember a rash shot from the SA boys?
@ Puma:
Sharks should expect smothering tackles from Jean and Co, Stormers will definately try and prevent those offloads that worked so beautifully against the Reds; hell, JPP, Kanko and Daniel were just great in the handling department, even Jannie Doep!
No, the Sharks played fantastic rugby, Heyneke must relieved after watching the bumbling Bulls’ display prior to this match….how good was Kankowski! Visions of Teichman…..
just saw the following quote on england’s dressing room wall:
…
“All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.”
T.E. Lawrence
..
wonder what kind of dreamers the england team are? 😀
248 @ Pietman:
No not really its all just in a ‘days’ work, but if I were to come to near your neck of the woods then yes it would be very lucrative, its frightening to see what kind of money is being thrown around in the UAE compared to here, but somehow I prefer the home comforts
bullscot @ 262
well if i look at myself in all honesty
then
i would have to take the “fools” one there, lol
265 @ ashley:
Thats a cool quote Ash, does that cover us dreamers who dream while sleeping during the day between night shifts
Hello to all my friends here… how’s it hanging?
269 @ grootblousmile:
Hello Gbs England are only just hanging in there, you’ve missed some good action!
