Yep, nothing new about conceding runs early on from S.A. It's a good ploy to make the BM think of easy runs and then wham.

That sounds like hard work. I have a remote with a Back button. It allows me to flick instantly switch between the cricket and the babes on the half pipe.

Men's skiing slopestyle on tomorrow night. Can't see the cricket getting a look in. Best event of the winter Olympics.

I cannot Steve. 15 years ago I was popping heli's in Austria. That's one 360 with little height. It just amazes me what these kids can do today.

The girls were on last night. Commentators 'and this is Sally coming back from her 3rd ligament rupture' or 'this is Stephanie, she dislocated her shoulder in training yesterday, popped it back in and here she is today'

You got to admire the balls and the skill.

I'd love to be there

It's sad that test cricket is not more popular over there but I think you will find it will be packed over the weekend

Arrow Re: The Cricket Thread (...and other sport)

Australia 4 for 195. Saffas are bowling nicely, a real class act. If they keep this up we'll be all out by lunch tomorrow.

My tip: Saffas to win.

Something I am enjoying, is watching a young player , who got lambasted wrongly at the beginning of his career, from ex English players and disgustingly by bumble lloyd,
and Botham .Now maturing into a decent middle order batsman, and cricketer.
Steve Smith.
I am English so there is no bias, and like D.Gower mentioned a couple of seasons ago,
give the guy a chance and more tests.We dont have an up and coming player at present, to compare.So well done young man, youve made that position yours by
right, and teams are going to need to find out in getting you out for less than 30-40.
A score English middle order struggle even to reach.

Looks like a good batting surface. Good recovery by Oz. Early days still.

An unassailable lead when you take into account the oppositions penchant for collapsing, oh hang on, wrong series, as you were
