Id love to see them try though and proper go at it Rather than just bore everyone to death for a draw.
time for that is past. that was for the first 4 batsmen to deliver. Vaughan said they took it to casual, bit of cloud cover, little reverse swing and the situation changed. If the first 4 had done their jobs then anderson and broad might have loved this.
I arrive with the news of rain. The sort of rain that causes the covers to be brought on. It seems likely that the post-tea resumption will be delayed. from the bbc site game over?
Hello, the covers have been removed. The umpires are out, the South Africa fielders are out and the England team have been dragged from the dressing room. Still work to do for the tourists. 4 minutes later. its not. drama ****ing queens.
all done. they've shaken hands in centre and walked off for bad light. theres no way if they come back out in 30mins if the cloud goes over that this one is anything but a draw.
must say when sky are going back to day 2 while day 5 is actually happening shows how bad it was. just a bit of cloud
Random... His form had been shaky recently but after finally getting some runs seems an odd time to do it
He is still batting. I think it was his record - 14 tests as skipper. 4 won, 4 drawn and 6 lost. They're supposed to be the No 1 in the world.
Weird timing though whatever his record. Half way through the series and after a few days that have seen his stock rise again. #fishy
