Just out of curiosity, why is your derision toward the umpire and not the bowler?

Johnny · « **Reply #271 on:** August 03, 2012, 05:46:58 AM »

Not sure who that's directed at Tail Ender, or what it's in reference to

Smith clipped a half volley to square leg & then Petersen decided to run out Amla

^^^like^^^

It was very funny when someone in the west stand started singing to amla! "he's got his hair on upside down, he's got his hair on upside down"!! Haha

Good day out though, met Alex on the GN stand doing test match special bats. Really nice guy and he was making custom made GN 5 star for �150.00! Pretty good deal I'd say.

I was thinking the same thing. Even toying with the idea of selling my SAF to fund one...

Doesn't look a great decision leaving Swann out after Pietersen is getting it to rip!

England needs to take a more attacking approach... When will they learn they won't bore SA batsman out

The first test was played in very spinner friendly conditions yet Swann didn't get a single wicket, here at Headingley it has always been seamer friendly so we picked 4 quick bowlers. I think it was a good decision to leave Swann out against an opposition that are typically strong against spin.

Strauss using the new Maverick, be quick to have a look as it won't be round for long!!!

And how will Cook bat?
After dropping AP when he was on 29, Cook owes the kitty at least 150+ runs!

That was possibly the most expensive drop I've seen in a while!!!!

Almost as expensive as Strauss putting himself at 2nd slip when Amla edged one through first slip while in double figures in the 1st test(Not sure if he had even got to 50 at this point).

Philander has got some pace, he's only bowling a few MPH slower than Steyn and Finn. I thought he was quite a slow bowler..

He nearly did you proud! Still, I would take 182 any day!

He did me proud, just need the bowlers to do the same now..
