Live by the sword and die by the sword these are the fine lines in cricket. Ball could have gone for 6 and KP would ave probably got a Ton. Hes that type of player but yes he does deserve a bollocking!

That's the end of Shah's career then (unless he replaces Vaughan).
Good for Wobbles, he was an inch from being dropped and now he's forced England into a position where they can win the match.

I think Pietersen should get a bollocking but you can't complain about the 94 runs, and he did what he's there for, to change the momentum of the game. Well done to Collingwood, we should have expected it from him really, usually produces when his back is particularly up against the wall. How about another 50-100 runs tomorrow and a thrilling Ashes 05-style run chase, 3 years on at the same ground? Cannot waaaait. wish I wasn't working or I'd seriously consider making the trip.

Priceless stuff on the BBC blog. Not saying I agree with it all, just great though

But more than all of that, his ability to score pressure runs is matchless. Despite this, you trot out your ridiculous, curmudgeonly, tiresome and self-important tripe, trampling over Paul Collingwood's brilliance in your frothing desire to slate KP, again. Please retire from TMS. The best you ever were was a straight man for Brian Johnson (DIFFICULT JOB) and the only reason you are still employed is that the BBC don't care about cricket sufficiently to notice how bad you are. Go."
Bloody hell.

Mr nudge is like our Axe murderer 
. Performs only when he is about to be dropped. Of course Ijaz was 10 times more talented than wobbly.

Surprised the thread went so quiet, after South Africa was set a reasonable 281 for victory.
Oh well, like i said it was a reasonable target but they need a Flintoff special here
South Africa 42/0 in 13th over
With Panesar bowling btw! I know the pitch was suppose to break up but come on! Why waste the new ball? I think all these failures have gotten to Vaughn!

Glorious shot. Nothing better than a straight drive.
I think SA have the advantage here, for sure. The pitch is pretty flat and slow, and SA's batsmen are in great form. Still, it is a fourth innings and SA are known to choke.
Interesting comparison with the India-Lanka game where a similar target will be set for SL, but where I think India have the advantage because of the state of the pitch.

Pitch looks pretty flat to me, to be honest. Maybe with the sun out on it today, it will break up. Monty is getting a touch of assistance but by and large these are not difficult batting conditions at all.
50 up, great start.

Looks like South Africa are well set to do what they haven't been able to do in their last couple of visits to England and...............................beat England after taking a 1-0 lead in the series!
I dont know about you, but this performance reminds me of the 1990s England test team!

Finally the breakthrough!
Full toss to the ankle and McKenzie doesn't see it and ducks. Out LBW
SA 65-1 after 17.3 overs - need 216 to win
59 overs left today
17.3 Flintoff to McKenzie, OUT, complete misjudgment from McKenzie! Flintoff fires in a yorker, McKenzie somehow fails to pick it and doesn't offer a shot, the ball swings in in the air and hits the boot, umpire Steve Davis gives it out. Hawkeye reckons that would have clipped the offstump. If you don't offer a stroke you're generally in big trouble

Kallis 5 out LBW Flintoff. Another fulltoss and batsman doesn't see it
SA 83-3 after 26 overs - need 198 to win
commentators saying the sight screen is low and maybe something on the end in stands they cannot pick the ball as the arm is above it
25.5 Flintoff to Kallis, OUT, another batsman fails to sight the ball properly! This is very dramatic stuff, folks

Ok, flintoff is bowling really good.
But the batsmen arent picking his full deliveries at all? Whats happening there????? Sure, he bowled great, dont get me wrong, but the way which the batsmen react......
Even if i leave my anti-england bias out of this, this just cant be right.... just seen the replays, the way the batsmen just LOST the ball... amazing....

Flintoff dishes out a full toss and the ball comes into Kallis, he decides to leave the ball but is struck flush on the left thigh, umpire Steve Davis gives him out. Kallis is absolutely fuming, Mickey Arthur too vents his frustration at the pavilion. There has to be some issue with the sightscreen here
What a whinger. No-one else has had problems with the sight-screen that I've seen, at least not for more than one ball (McKenzie). If he thinks it should have been called a no-ball on height then he needs an anatomy lesson - you couldn't possibly be lbw to a ball that was over waist height. Idiot.
The Amla decision was a shocker, but I'm grateful for it.

What is wrong with the sight screen? And was it the same when England were batting? If not this is quite pathetic gamesmanship.
U must be blind than, if u cant see SOMETHING is wrongAugustus said:
Ofcourse, he was lbw, but the way the batsmen react to flintoff's bowling there HAD to be something wrong, even i could see that while i just joined the match.. and i didnt knew anything about sightscreen at all... even cricinfo mentions it. Unless he bowled 100mph+...
28.6 Panesar to Prince, no run, delivery looped up down the leg side, Prince goes on the backfoot and looks to flick it away, HUGE APPEAL!! for caught behind, they think it is off the glove, the umpire doesn't, Panesar might just be on the border line of appealing and trying to intimidate the umpire!!!
This actually seemed to have gloved it...

anyways this kind of things just leaves a sour taste, but if England batted in the same conditions can't really complain that much.

Replays: didnt show anything
Hotspot: inconclusive
High-motion: confirms that it has a tiny tiny glove on it
If everyone had this technique available
England will win I think but is this victory in the spirit of the game ??? i think not , this is a sad day for cricket it really is a shame that they couldnt fight this out without the advantage of poor sight screening and terrrible umpiring.
Could u imagine if England were on the recieving end I dont think Beefy would be to happy .

Once again, im not sure whats happening there, as i just joined it.
But ive seen some of flintoffs bowling, and dont get me wrong, he bowls GREAT, but the way batsmen react to him..... just doesnt sem right
Can u tell me more about the terrible umpiring? Was it really that bad???Hooker said:
I've missed a large portion of this match, but i do know that the Sky commentators always lash out at the umpires... and always talk about "the standard of umpiring"
No one said it isnt the same 
Ive not seen the match, and i only said i could see something wrong here....
I think this is something that shouldve been fixed instantly, which ofcourse brings me to the question: why hasnt this been fixed??

Some people have serious issues with the English team. Get over it guys.
Great display by the ENG team so far. Go Flintoff ! ! !

Smith survives. HUGE turn
38.5 Panesar to Smith, no run, oh but this one is mighty close! It spins and keeps low and slams him on the shins after turning back in a mile. Very difficult to give that one, though, given how far outside off it was when it pitched
