Australia v South Africa test fantasy league

[Arthur Crabtree]

I was going to post saying surely you made a big typo.

[Durhamfootman]

well, that first test didn't take long. Can't have gone much past tea on day two. Of course if England had been the opposition and bowled for two innings, their share of the 150 overs bowled might well have taken the match to tea on day 3

Green out with a busted finger

Game totals after match 2

DFM takes over the lead from the twins, but it's very tight at the top, and one 5-fer or double century in the last match and it could be anybody's game.

I need Boland to turn on the style in the last test in the absence of Green

cheers fluffy
