4th test

[TrippyLondoner]

Fuckin hell 316 all out, missed most of it today, i see harmison 49 not out, damn, so close!

 

[E.J.]

Indeed TL so close for Harmy for getting his 50. Monty run out for a duck -England 316 all out! Here's what the Beeb' Sport text service has said:-

1826 - WICKET - Panesar run out (Harris) 0 - Eng 316 all out (96 overs)
Harmison on strike against Nel. On 49 - last man Monty Panesar is non-striker. But going for his 50, he tries to tip-and-run a suicidal single, the dawdling Montster is run out at the striker's end and Harmy is left high and dry on 49!

Panesar better make up for that abysmal display in the next innings

 

[TrippyLondoner]

So panesar gets run out for the 2nd time in a row! A true tailender!

 

[Nemo]

Great delivery from Jimmeh to get Smith plumb lb.

 

[bi0boy]

It's going to piss down today.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Pissing down on a pointless test match. Oh well eh.

 

[tangerinedream]

Should be able to be finished in the remaining 2 days tho

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Nah, SA will make us bowl the next 2 days.

 

[tangerinedream]

I think they'd be happy to set us anything above 200. 230-250 would be a very interesting chase given our powder puff batting.

grahem gooch and grahem thorpe have been on TMS this time round aswell, maybe one of those two

Has anyone ever found out why it is they dropped Thorpe yet kept Ian Bell around?

Anyway, I'm hoping for a good day's play tomorrow as I've got a ticket.

Has Thorpey been on? He was really good in Sri Lanka or wherever it was he was a summariser - I havn't heard him this series...

Hindsight...

I hope he's going to do some co-commentry again at some point, I found him very listenable.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

318 all out, we need 197 to win.

 

[tangerinedream]

It's far from a done deal this. Good day tomorrow.

 

[bi0boy]

I predict 165 all out

 

[TrippyLondoner]

I strongly disagree.







I bet itll be 101 all out.

 

[tangerinedream]

I'm going to be optimistic and say we'll get it with 6 down...

Just to be different loike...

 

[bi0boy]

I predict 165 all out

I'm changing my prediction to an England win without any loss of wickets.

90 without loss so far

 

[TrippyLondoner]

109-0 lunch, glad i was wrong.

 

[mrsfran]

A much-needed 50 for Strauss. Good.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Just a shame it came a bit too late. Better late than never i guess.

 

[Flashman]

Shame they couldn't bat like this when it actually mattered.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Bloody hell Bell...out for 4. 50 needed to win.

 

[Flashman]

Looks like Bell can't do it even when it doesn't matter



KP get this over with ffs.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

You are fucking joking, strauss fucking loses concentration, now were 3 wickets down.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Flintoff hits a 6 to win the match by 6 wickets...meh, atleast we didn't lose 3-0.
