Would have been good for Anderson's boundary fumble to be more costly because then a batsman could have a right scream at a bowler for once.

So funny they think taking 22 wickets is still good for a test match lol.
even if they took all the chances this would still be a draw, think they counting the 3 dropped catches that SA did.

We're up to 7 in this one.

They're calling 10.

Are they including return throws to the keeper?!

irrespective of the drop catches, the pitch is *modded*, the drop catches is only high because the pace/bounce is good so if the batsman makes a mistake you are out.

but any good batsman should score bucketful of runs in these pitches.

Catching Amla and AB early could have changed this match round completely. All ifs and buts though!

The farcical run out of Van Zyl seems like days ago.

Oh hang on, it was.

Amla should declare soon. They could even win this, if they could get a couple of quick wickets tonight.

Having a bath with the electric toaster didn't work.


The toaster caught sight of another dropped catch and jumped in the bath before I even had a chance to get in myself.

Just give the ball to Taylor so the score gets to be level and milestones hit ASAP.
