Off Topic South Africa v England 1st Test

Normal service resumed, England stutter to 12-2 as Dale Steyn shows why he is the No.1 bowler in the World Rankings. A long hard day in prospect...

 

And that includes a rain, thunder and lightning break

 

Joe Root gone, looking bleak...

 

Hope they improve for when i'm at cape town next test. Watch out for QPR 3'rd shirt in crowd....

 

We're here, we're there, we're every firkin where...

 

I hope you have tickets for days 1 and 2......looks like the new era of 3 day tests is here to stay.

 

Plenty of time for Table Mountain....views supposed to be breathtaking. Watching us get 3 points against huddersfield would be nice leaving present...cum on!!!

 

England showing a bit of fight as Taylor and Compton steady things between the thunderstorms, 121-3 at tea...

 

Good recovery from England.

 

Don't want to jinx things but Compton & Taylor are doing well......

 

So partnership-breaker Tramore came on and took a late wicket to keep SA in the game.

I'm going to predict a big Stokes innings and an England total of 400 plus.

 

Report from Oz says the Aussies are bored with the Windies and would like to go again ...............

England crawl over 300. A good recovery.

 

303, better than they would have hoped for after yesterday's start but probably disappointed after their recovery. Bowlers need to make their mark now...

 

Good start by England here

 

Broad always delivers when Jimmy is injured.

 

Stokes is going to be fuming. Cook refuses to review his LBW appeal against Elgar and it would have been out. England in a good position, but could have been much better.

 

Cook is far too conservativeas a captain.

 

South Africa 150/6

 

156 for 7 now.
Fantastic from England this morning.
Terrible attendance at the ground. Anyone know why?
