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

[Alviro Patterson]

Raining. We're saved.

Shucks! I wanted Cook to declare and the bowlers have a go at South Africa in the final session

Raining. We're saved.

We'd pretty much saved the game without the rain.

A good case for Bairstow getting MOM if Stokes wasn't so way out in front after the first innings' were completed.

Could have been big egg on Cook's face had we lost it.

Luckily we're still in front going into the third test.


Panic? What panic?

this forum really needs a like button.

As long as there's a dislike button to go with it.

Our local rag has recently withdrawn the dislike button from its website because it was becoming upsetting to people who were discovering that their comments were so unpopular.

A form of bullying apparently, whatever next!

Are Facebook getting a dislike button? Does sound a bit mean to dislike your 'friends' post.

I would like Facebook to get an "Obliterate" button. To obliterate the entire website.

Amla resigns as captain.

Twitter changing from "favourite" to "like" along with rolling out a 10,000 character post count is going the same way.

Blimey.

It's normally England captains that get terminated when these sides meet.

love this tweet.
Looks like Smitty has started taking out his own skippers now... #saveng

if results don't improve Lorgat and Domingo are under pressure.
interesting times for South Africa.

Aiden Broad did appeal the decision.

Broad was charged with a Level 1 offence under the ICC code of conduct. He initially pleaded not guilty to the charge which meant Ranjan Madugalle, the match referee, conducted a hearing where he found Broad guilty.

If I was madugalle I would have said get on with the game. lol
Considering in most cases players accept the charge.

Typical of Broad to appeal. Also typical that it was a wasted review

[Dr Cricket]

I wonder what his defence was.

[Arthur Crabtree]

As an expert in time-wasting, he was well placed to judge whether the umpires were?
