South Africa v England - Test Cricket Series

[Seatherny]

my point exactly? rules are rules. if the umpire calls the game off for rain, it's final.

Indeed
But you have missed my point completely. It doesn't matter anyway. SA have 2 days and if it doesnt rain, they should wiin.

lols okay. i wouldn't be that gutted if they win 'cos i'd be happy with the draw anywho.

[Seatherny]

England 22/2
Trott and Cook are gone.

The umpires have the lightmetres out, and they've offered the light to the batsmen! Obviously, the players are now walking off the field. We still have at least an hour and 15 minutes of playing time here so they could yet be back out again tonight.

[Seatherny]

And the good news is, Graeme Smith is leading the players back onto the field, so there will be some play tonight after all

Good!

12.3 Parnell to Strauss, OUT, Review: Massive appeal for lbw. Was there an inside edge? He was given out by Tony Hill... and after some deliberation that is given out and that's Wayne Parnell's first wicket in Test cricket
AJ Strauss lbw b Parnell 22 (45b 3x4 0x6) SR: 48.88

Come on SA =D

The lightmetres are out, and they've offered the light to the batsmen. Pietersen and Collingwood are quite happy to trudge off, but the South Africans will not be happy. Make no mistake, they're on top here

Oh man.

As i keep saying consistency is something we dont have and something that unless we change will never get us in the top 3 of test match rankings

[Immenseman]

Consistency is no fun.

I fully agree with you. Unfortunately some of the supporters here cant accept people critising their team.

I have always said, England have some excellent players and when they are good, they are brilliant. But then they don't keep it up for some reason.

[Seatherny]

Saurav, have you forgotten that we beat SA by an INNINGS?

I think SA just beat you by an Innings too just now .

Overall SA were the better team in the test series and deserve to retain the cup.
However, England were undoubtedly the better team in the ODI series.

Runs don't lie. We deserved a draw, that's why we got one. I'll admit we have had a few great escapes, but the team who gets the most runs wins, so we beat them fair and square one time and they beat us fair and square. And so, a draw is the deserved result. Cricket's not like football, in which one goal can decide a match, in cricket it's hundreds of runs, so the best team on the day always wins, there's no getting lucky.
