Thoughts go out to Rudi's family and friends xxx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 How long do they persevere with these openers? Both are shit. Crawley has some potential, but ultimately there's some real shit along the way. 26 average after similar amount of tests. Nah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerMark Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 South Africa outsmarting themselves at the toss by walking straight into a good seam attack in perfect conditions for seamers to attack helped England. England resume this morning 40 behind, 111-3. The most shocking part of this is that Ron Weasley's big brother Zac is still batting. Are we about to hear the end of "it's been x innings since he last got a fifty?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerMark Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 (edited) Well, as someone who railed against four day tests, that we might get another result in three is gonna make me look stupid. On the other hand, this test has lost two days, and four days scheduled would not give us a result. At any rate, this is madness and it's great. EDIT: England started the day 36 runs ahead, ended their innings within fifteen minutes 40 ahead. Edited September 11 by DangerMark Didn't want to double post.
