Ovis aries Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I think if Jimmy misses out Footitt should get the call on Boxing Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I thought Mark Footitt had come down with a bad case of cramps but can't find the article now. Starting to think i made it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggg Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Saaaarf Africa all out for 214, brilliant bowling by England, lead of 89 should be crucial on a deteriorating pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 214 all out - Dean Elgar carried his bat, ending up stranded on 118* at the non-striker's end as Finn blew the tail away at the other end. Elgar is the 50th batsman to achieve this feat in the history of test cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was always 50:50 as to who was going to be out next (which of course it isn't), then it would happen only once every 1024 tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovis aries Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Why the ****, when we have just lost Root does ******* Stokes come in and start playing reverse sweeps,all he should be doing is playing himself in, and giving the strike to Taylor, he has just brought SA back into the game.

Really? Without Steyn? No way. Since England's lead went beyond 270 or so, South Africa have been behind the 8-ball. Not a snowball's chance in hell that they would get anywhere near winning this. England have scored at nearly 4 an over this morning, which is way quicker than anything we have seen in the first 3 days - another hour of the same and basically they will have bought themselves an extra half a session to bowl the opposition out.

You can forget the negative approach of old - it was a calculated risk and one which has proved to be worth taking, seeing as though the collapse didn't happen.
