marko Posted 19 August 2012 Posted 19 August 2012 Lets face it we aint gettin 346...unfortunately were playing for a draw. Stranger things have happened my pedigree chum. Who would have given the Windies a prayer when they started to chase the Aussies 400+ target?! We need to see off the new ball without further loss - which will be difficult - but once the ball's softened up, taking wickets becomes tough. Anyway, I see you're still unwaveringly optimistic
marko Posted 19 August 2012 Posted 19 August 2012 Oh dear Fear not Cap Shrap, Swann and Finn will see us home with 300 partnership

Corky Posted 19 August 2012 Posted 19 August 2012 We've been otuplayed in this series, well done South Africa.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 19 August 2012 Posted 19 August 2012 Going to be pushing shit up hill to get a result here.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 20 August 2012 Posted 20 August 2012 Last night the first part of a tele movie aired, about the birth and struggles of world series cricket. Was really good well worth checking out.
Super_horns Posted 20 August 2012 Posted 20 August 2012 Not looking good...we might as well go for it though as a draw isn't enough.
Captain... Posted 20 August 2012 Posted 20 August 2012 Bell has just made a difficult task even harder, Trott seems to be swinging his bat like a tail ender, I'm not saying I am without hope, but we need something inspired from Trott, Taylor and Bairstow to even salvage a draw, let alone win it.
Captain... Posted 20 August 2012 Posted 20 August 2012 Trott absolutely stuffed Titch with that run out. Not really what was needed, hopefully Trott can make it up to him by batting us to a win. How bad was it, I only have text updates as I'm at work.

They ran three, possibility of a fourth, Trott seemed to call Taylor then didn't run whilst Taylor was halfway down the pitch.
marko Posted 20 August 2012 Posted 20 August 2012 Hats off, they're giving it a real go. Alas, if only Taylor hadn't been run out, it could have been very close.
Happy Fox Posted 20 August 2012 Posted 20 August 2012 England will win they are in the ascendancy now, South Africa have wasted their chance or haven't been ruthless in taking wickets.
marko Posted 20 August 2012 Posted 20 August 2012 England will win they are in the ascendancy now, South Africa have wasted their chance or haven't been ruthless in taking wickets. New ball is due 4 overs. Every chance they'll just run through our tail with it.
Captain... Posted 20 August 2012 Posted 20 August 2012 New ball is due 4 overs. Every chance they'll just run through our tail with it. That new ball will be a problem, probably why they are trying to knock the runs off now, the run rate since tea has been phenomenal. Edit: Bollocks, Not going to criticise for taking a risky single, unless it was suicidal, we have got into this position playing aggressively, such a shame.
