Third Test. SA v England. Jo'burg, Jan 14-18

[Aidan11]

What a session that was.

[Making_Splinters]

Quite the spell by Broad to reshape the test.

[Aidan11]

Anderson gets in on the act.

[Aidan11]

Reprieve for the batsman.

[Dr Cricket]

wonder if anyone thinks this pitch should be banned because it finished in 3 days and 15 wickets fell on the day.

[Dr Cricket]

SA 83 All out, England win series, India number 1 what a brilliant day.

Both sides scored 300 in the first innings, did that happen in India?

Scored 200, would have scored 300 if both team batted better.
Just found it funny when people want pace in the indian wicket even though when their is pace in the wicket people complain because wicket fall too easily and quickly lol.
When pitches are quick Wickets can fall in a heap.

[Aidan11]

Great day for England and Broad.

Fantastic bowling from Broad; now averaging under 29 with the ball, time to start saying he's amongst England's greatest bowlers of all time?

This is hardly a bowler's wicket, unlike the series in India where there was substantial turn on day 1.

if he takes 500+ test wicket he should be one of the best English bowlers of all time, not sure he done enough to be an all time great in term of the world, still think he needs to be better in keeping runs down while he not taking wickets, he still look easy to face at times.

it is india, pitches will have turn.
If people want pace in the wickets, teams should get use to it and learn how to survive on it.

Wouldn't call it substantial turn either, was the same amount of turn expected in these pitches. only thing unusual about the pitches was the pace was quick and it had bounce.

If he takes 500 wickets he'd be one of the greates pace bowlers of all time, let alone English bowlers.
