3rd Test: England v South Africa at Lord's, Aug 16-20, 2012 | Day 3

[Sledger]

Show me a T20 which is this good.

Pakistan SA SF 09.

Another famous choke.

 

[test_fan]

The new ball isn't swinging at all. They can still get these runs.

 

[Marshland]

Things slowing down a touch with this new ball...

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Show me a T20 which is this good.

T20 ain't cricket for me, it's a disgrace.

 

[praveen]

The new ball isn't swinging at all. They can still get these runs.

Its yet to be taken.

 

[Gone]

New ball not taken, Tahir continues :S

Guessing he will bowl Steyn with new ball next over

 

[test_fan]

Oh they haven't taken it yet. #choke

 

[Palti_hit]

Oh god why? Escaped a heart attack in indo-pak game, nw this ...

 

[test_fan]

T20 ain't cricket for me, it's a disgrace.

Thikei koise Bablu da

 

[KingKhanWC]

Take the damn new cherry..get Steyn on and wrap this up.

 

[ads101]

is it a stumping. Hopefully not

 

[James]

Two on the leg-side boundary for Jimmy, must be scared of him

 

[KingKhanWC]

That is a stumping.

 

[Asif321]

lmao .... africans are out of luck .......

 

[test_fan]

Can't give that out.

 

[Gone]

Think thats :S

 

[Sledger]

Not taking the new ball?

 

[leatherface58]

Out or not?

 

[ads101]

Come on, say it's not out. If it's not out, Prior probably will start feeling it's almost destiny for England to win .

 

[PakFan2010]

Tahir bowling well

Close call but Prior is safe.

 

[Marshland]

Is Steyn asleep? Where is he? He should be bowling right now! Send Tahir back home this instant.

 

[Square Drive]

Stumping appeal!

 

[ads101]

It should be out I think, but again it's up to the umpire.

 

[Namak_Halaal]

Line belongs to the Umpire.

 

[ads101]

lol not out.

Haha Saffers must be bricking it now.

 

[Markhor]

Not out...

 

[test_fan]

Good decision.

 

[Square Drive]

Not out, Prior survives!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Nonsense was clearly out.

 

[Gone]

t out

Was close and good take from ABD

 

[rooster]

Two humble guys AB and Matty laughing it out.

 

[Space Cat]

Is Steyn asleep? Where is he? He should be bowling right now! Send Tahir back home this instant.

waiting for the new ball.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Thikei koise Bablu da

Hey, are you Assamese?

 

[James]

Phew, heart rate is ridiculous at this moment in time.

 

[Asif321]

only 58 nowwwwwwwwwwwww....

 

[Sledger]

Looked like a close on, tense wait there for the decision. Adds to the drama, Smith looking worried out there. Think he's wary of the new ball flying off Prior's bat.

 

[test_fan]

SA choke is clear from the fact that they are afraid to take the new ball, lol, the only way they can win this by taking these 2 wickets.

 

[praveen]

Not out. Good decision.

Why the hell is Tahir still continuing? New ball is available, get steyn in, Smith. Or at least tell that dummy Tahir to bowl from over the wicket.

 

[test_fan]

Hey, are you Assamese?

Of course

 

[Express Pace]

That was out, his foot was not grounded behind the line. Prior's lucky day, England to win now.

 

[Osman]

don't understand this....take the new ball...bring on the best fast bowler in the world and knock over the tail

 

[Jo_Don]

If Kallis was batting, that would have been out :/

 

[KingKhanWC]

Finally worlds no1 bowler with rock hard leather

 

[Gone]

Steyn on with the new ball.

 

[praveen]

Finally. The last new ball of the series deciding everything. Prior better not repeat his first innings mistake. C'mon Steyn time to get your #1 bowler skills to the table.

 

[Osman]

steyn needs to deliver....this is the kind of situation that defines champions...its what made the likes of warne and wasim akram exactly that

 

[Square Drive]

Steyn finally on.

 

[Namak_Halaal]

This is it - make or break for either two side.

 

[Sledger]

Probably the greatest matchwinner in int cricket atm, let's see if he can do something with the ball now.

 

[test_fan]

close again.

 

[Square Drive]

Another run-out appeal! )

 

[Space Cat]

Does anybody know the Heimlich maneuver?

 

[test_fan]

Not

 

[Gone]

Run out appeal. Well in

 

[rooster]

Last 22 overs to decide not just this match, the whole series and the no.1 ranking as well. What a session.

 

[Sledger]

Anderson off the strike with a single and now we have the main contest.

 

[Square Drive]

And again not-out. This is one heluva match.

 

[Sledger]

Does anybody know the Heimlich maneuver?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Inswinger to Prior should do it.

 

[Asif321]

damm.. if SA loose this

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Of course

Me from Guwahati, Chandmari Colony. You?

 

[test_fan]

Steyn needs to bowl till the end from one end.

 

[Express Pace]

4 runs!

 

[Markhor]

 

[Jo_Don]

Why wasn't the stump cam used for the stumping chance?

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Four

 

[KingKhanWC]

Shot. 4. Wrong line.

 

[Square Drive]

to Prior!!!

 

[test_fan]

ha ha ha loving the choke-job.

 

[Gone]

for prior

 

[Sledger]

4 more.

 

[Osman]

the choke is on )

 

[James]

What a shot !

 

[James]

LOL at the Saffers preparing their excuses already

 

[Namak_Halaal]

Oh man, those extra 50 odds runs last night sure add perspective now!

 

[James]

I've never heard Lord's this loud, ever.

 

[Marshland]

This is a disgrace.

 

[Square Drive]

Philander on, things getting intense.

 

[leatherface58]

England doing it for malakian

 

[Sledger]

Anderson on strike now.
