[Aussie In England]

How come SA don't pick Imran Tahir anymore...is he too old?? He'd be all over us in this situation alongside the offie

Because you have to bowl in both innings and he bowls a lot of pies. If Tahir played Stokes might've got 500...

COME ON LADS!!!  hang on in there

Bob Willis is going to be creaming himself on the verdict tonight if we go under here,don't give him the satisfaction!!!!

40 over left today is there?

144 ahead so 3 1/2 an over

could end up being a 20/20 chase here but I think if we bat another 15 overs we should be safe

[rickjames]

Don't think that could have been any closer for JB

[edge]

Oof, think he's got away with that one!

[csnew]

Doesn't matter with the weather closing in.

South Africa missing the SteynRemover against the lower order

[rickjames]

We have been spared of a defeat. Still feeling rather dejected though, only England could score 629 and not win...

hang on there Rockin' Rick....1st Test Pak v us they got 600 plus, we got whatever we got,bowled them out and with an extra 15 mins would have won in the gloom as the Ginge started putting Riaz into the stands on the last afternoon

We would never have done that years back, hasn't the game moved on so these types of games will be more common?

Draw confirmed, Stokes gets MoM but on another day could have been Bairstow, Amla or Bavuma to be fair.

All that drama, second fastest 200 of all time, most runs in a session, record partnerships, maiden test tons, return to form of Amla, 1st ton by a black African, late flurry of wickets and in the end they shake hands and call it a draw. This is why people don't understand cricket, but those who do love it so much.

Amla just quit the captaincy.......

Well said! My mrs always is one such who doesn't understand, she's often heard to be saying "how can a game last for 5 days and still no one wins"

[ppccopener]

Yeah well said. There's no better format of the game.

[ppccopener]

Amla just quit the captaincy.......

good move if that's true.He's proved he can bat under real pressure in this game and skipper but his runs are vital to South Africa more than his skippering...which let's be honest he's not cut out for.
