[Justcrazy]

Can Eng restrict SA under 300 ?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Steyn gone!

271/8

Time for philander to play a few more shots now, can morkel hang around?

 

[Justcrazy]

Philander 49 no.

 

[Amjid Javed]

I wonder how wise, englands quicks bouncing steyn was. Hes probably going to steam in and try and knock over a few peoples heads later on in this game

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 for Morkel.

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor ball

 

[Justcrazy]

275 / 8

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hope S.A get 300 and then its very much game on here!

 

[Justcrazy]

SA have done well after loosing 4 wickets early.

 

[Justcrazy]

Philander 50

 

[truthseer]

England should look for the swing available instead of bouncing Philander

 

[Justcrazy]

276 / 8 ......... Battle continues.

 

[Maximas]

nice innings recovery building goin by Philander there

 

[Justcrazy]

Eng would struggle to get SA in second innings, unless there is cloud cover.

 

[Justcrazy]

Philander has shown his true worth in the team , he is here in the team because he can bat.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Well done Philander!

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 17 runs.

 

[style_guru]

Now all that England need is a few dodgy decisions going their way. And then they can safely claim to be No. 1

@Topic:- What courage and fight shown by SA here

 

[Justcrazy]

291 / 8

 

[Justcrazy]

Swan needs to get his act together now.

 

[style_guru]

SA inching towards 300 here.

295/8 in 98 overs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

imagine if philander got a 100 here! )

 

[style_guru]

SA 302 for 8. Good going lads

 

[Saurav]

Haydos gone.

Philander should attack now

 

[Amjid Javed]

Morkel gone, but maybe damage has been done with S.A already past 300!

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hope philander can get strike back and cowlash a few more runs here!

 

[Justcrazy]

Can Finn get 5 ver.

 

[style_guru]

Get as many as you can, Phil.

 

[Justcrazy]

307 / 9

 

[Amjid Javed]

S.A 309 all out.

Interestingly the game is back in the balance now i reckon.

 

[Jo_Don]

Great knock by Vern under pressure. 309 is a decent score given 55/4.

 

[Justcrazy]

309 all out.

 

[Justcrazy]

So thats it , now upto England batsmen to make it big. Bat well and deep , and get a lead.

 

[nish_mate]

Malakian nowhere to be seen?

 

[style_guru]

Now up to SA bowlers to bowl well. And get the poms out under 150

 

[Justcrazy]

Eng would need top 6 to fire here and get a big lead , bat till third day.

 

[Justcrazy]

Malakian nowhere to be seen?

who is Malakian ?

 

[truthseer]

who is Malakian ?

English troll, England is number 1, see first page

 

[Sidcricfan]

Go Steyn, Morkel and Philander!! Get the lead!!

 

[style_guru]

Steyn and morkel need to hurt some Pommies here, by hurling in a few boucers at their throats.

 

[Justcrazy]

45 mins for lunch.

 

[Justcrazy]

English troll, England is number 1, see first page

Okay , thanks.

 

[Justcrazy]

England need a solid start , SA would look wickets here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Strauss in his 100th test , he would want to do well.

 

[style_guru]

Come on Steyn. Rip them apart

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

Philanders bowling average slowly moving up , he was over hyped

 

[Justcrazy]

14 / 0

 

[style_guru]

Morkel needs to swing it into Strauss.

 

[Justcrazy]

Styen does not get the new ball.

 

[Bullet Drive]

14-0 after 2.4 - come on SA

 

[Justcrazy]

Strauss needs to lead by example here, its a great opportunity to stamp his authority.

 

[Bullet Drive]

16-0 after 3 overs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Massive test for Strauss - his 100th too.

 

[style_guru]

SA need to open with Steyn. He is the best bowler by a country mile, and needs to have the new ball.

But I wont mind early strikes by Phil and Morkel

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

Eng should not get bogged down , if the ball is there to be hit , just hit it.

 

[style_guru]

Too many runs already given away here by SA.

 

[Justcrazy]

23 / 0

 

[Justcrazy]

24 / 0

 

[style_guru]

Morkel has bowled well the last over. Now Phil needs to tighten it up from his end.

 

[Justcrazy]

Eng playing for lunch now

 

[Justcrazy]

The Test is well poised ....... its only day 2 , hope to see a result.

 

[style_guru]

Morkel bowling some absolute unplayable deliveries here. SA need to strike before Lunch

 

[Justcrazy]

28 / 0

 

[Justcrazy]

England trail by 281 runs with 10 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Justcrazy]

Steyn on now !!!

 

[Justcrazy]

SA bowling better now.

 

[style_guru]

Strauss OUT B Morkel.

Come on SA. Rip them apart

 

[truthseer]

Out!

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Big wicket before lunch

 

[style_guru]

A wicket before lunch is just what the doctor ordered

Get Cook and Trott quickly, and wrap this match up...
