Second Test. SA v England. Cape Town, Jan 2-6

[Arthur Crabtree]

Arthur looks like the goodwill series of nz was an one off.
Stokes, Broad all got warning, with broad getting a fine for telling Umpire twice to get on with the game when Umpire was giving him a warning for kicking the pitch.

Sounds like over appealing by Broad was a factor. Good that the umpires stepped in. Shame they had to.

We're 6 down with a slender lead and Moeen Ali is now batting.

Time to buy a new electric toaster and run a bath.

from the article it sounded like Broad wasn't happy for the umpire giving him a warning for kicking the pitch.

He'll probably appeal against it.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Broad in next. He might elect to play some shots.

[Aidan11]

Still 47 overs left.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Once England get to tea, the game will start to get squeezed. Draw seems favourite, with a 50 over old ball. But it'll be nice to see the UK press have to reconsider writing off SA.

Still 47 overs left.

thats a lot of overs when you consider south africa have the option of sending out AB de villiers to open the batting

60 off 30 would make this a very very easy chase

[Arthur Crabtree]

Still 47 overs left. :scared

Can't see England bowling all of them.

They wont but there is a possibility SA could get 25-30 overs...enough to have a good go.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Dar might enjoy telling Broad to get on with the game. Say, if he has his boots off.

[Arthur Crabtree]

The swing Morris gets goes too early. Sort of loops from the hand. Might trouble the tail, I suppose.

lol.
or tell his dad to get him off it.

[Dr Cricket]

lol what a joke comment from agnew.
Whatever outcome can we call a truce on writing off Tests after 3 days, condemning good pitches as 'roads' and respect Test cricket? Please?

if this was in the Sub C everyone would be going crazy, double standards?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Close to being out stumped for Bairstow.

Rain on the way.

Maybe Amla will be POTM with SA being on top?
