Collingwood was given run out bythe 3rd ump, but NZ withdrew the appeal when Colly claimed that he left his crease the on-field ump had declared "over". Hence, confusion.

Hang on though, it sort of doesn't matter, does it? I mean, aren't England through to the semi-final no matter what?

Perhaps we are just deliberately being rubbish again today, so we can be extra good in the next match.

That'll be it for sure. :luv:

The Saffas are 73-0 after 13 overs. This total is going to be massive.

Yeah, but we romped it in the first one so it's good to be stretched once in a while :)

South Africa equal their highest ever score at that ground.

I have a feeling we may lose this one!

Yup. Even the wickets England took were final proof that shit does indeed take 'em.

139-3, 216 required off 25.3 overs. Pietersen and Collingwood together. Dare to dream?

Arse. Pietersen walked round one on leg stump from right arm round. Normal service resumes. Move along, nothing to see here.

152-3, and England's twin decisions to go with 4 bowlers (3 of whom are injured) and to bowl first are appearing to both be massive mistakes.

Strauss, you Lord of Belmshire!!!

Hardly an overreaction to say it seems to be a bad decision to pick Ian Bell.

It's ALWAYS a bad idea to pick Ian Bell.

Apart from when he gets a century which puts your team in a great position. :)

I hope our bowlers are inspired when they get their chance to shine.

He's got his century, but for his first half hour yesterday I was worried we wouldn't pass their first innings total with 40 odd to go.

I hope this match changes SA's 'We MUST have a black bowler' policy and they drop Ntini. The quota system is damaging their team again, when they are playing with one arm tied behind their backs. Doubt it will though.

Right, 30 mins max of thwackage after lunch, then declare with a lead of 200. Bowl them out for 300 and knock off the 100 tomorrow evening. Easy!

Really? I thought it was his poor conversion rate and the fact that I stuck up for him during the 2005 Ashes.

No, it was during a particularly sluggish session during 2005 (Old Trafford I think) when we had a significant first innings lead, but the weather had reduced the amount of time left in the game, and in the second innings he then cut the run rate from about 4 an over to 2. My argument being that one batsman (the higher order player) should rightfully protect his wicket but the other should slash out, and that going at this rate, the match would end in a draw from a position of almost certain victory, saving the Australians scalps.

The match ended in a draw, saving the Australians scalps.

Ironically, I'd have no complaints if they'd dropped him after the last Test. It goes to show something - not quite sure what, though.

I think the problem is, he has scored big, scored average and scored low, as have most players. However, he's rarely produced a match winning/match saving performance.

The stat aside about never getting a century without someone else doing it, he just doesn't stick in the mind as having converted a game regularly (although you can probably argue he has, I just can't recall it). And this is reflected by the fact he has played 50 tests and never got man of the match. His wiki entry just constantly flows thus: Lost form, under pressure, big score, started series badly, struggled, big score.

Oh, and he's a villa fan. I knew there was something else.

Really? We need as much time as possible to bowl SA out. That's worth more than the ten runs max they'd put on together in 30 mins.

According to BBC commentary, Hoggard is sat with the Barmy Army. I wonder if he has gone to all five tests hoping for an injury and a desperate call up as a replacement? News for you Matthew, these things have been invented called aeroplanes, which means it no longer takes 3 weeks to travel for an overseas tour.
