4th test Cricket thread

That Cook is really really rubbish. The clown put Smith down on the first ball

[feedthebeast]

A small consolation is that Smith then got hit in the balls soon after, couldnt happen to a nicer bloke

[falirakipotter]

Colly put a regulation catch down in the last match, then went on to make a ton!!!!

[StatesideStokie]

Anyone got a link to live streaming of the game?

Roughly translates into:

I am thick as pig shit

[Block 26]

Exactly BHP, wow he drop's one, that automatically makes him shit.
Yeah that makes scence.

NOT.

[Tony Clueless]

I will translate it for you. England are a wank cricket team, they have a captain who only plays for himself.

Again, translated as:

I know sweet FA about cricket, and Im just jumping on the 'lets all have a go at KP' bandwagon.

Keep em coming lads, Im fluent in jibberish

[Tony Clueless]

We will see how good "KP" is after a match that means something. You can not count this because South Africa are not that bothered as they have already won the series

[Birchesheadpotter]

Ok, Im not doubting that it could be a catastrophic choice, and I certainly didnt want him as captain. But he has sent an attacking team out and its paying dividence (132-6) weather SA are up for it or not.

Give him a chance.

[stokeylad]

why would south africa not be up for it?
they have a chance of whitewashing england away from home, i know i would certainly be up for it. and why would any team in any sport want to lose,?

[Tony Clueless]

White wash? I thought one game was a draw.

[Cityfullergoals]

Go on Monty

Going over the top, but time we had a few decisions go our way

7 down

What the fucks happening at Durham

Surely that wicket is not fit for County Cricket

Durham 156
Kent 76
Durham 100 for 8

Will be over in 2 days ??? ??? ???

[stokecity4eva]

make that 108 all out CFG

[Cityfullergoals]

Go on Kent

Im on Somerset (all out for a paltry 106 themselves yesterday) at 10 to 1 for the VCC

Secong innings better last I saw was 108 for 0 (Go on Langer and Tres) ;D

[Birchesheadpotter]

England 7-1

Strauss caught in slip by Smith

[swampySCFC]

Good day for KP

Seemed to organise well and encourage even when SA were 100 odd for 1.

Vidicated for picking 5 bowlers

[kidsgroovy]

Really good day for England. Anderson, Flintoff and Harmison all bowled well and our bowling unit worked effectively as a group for the first time in ages. Pietersen is going to be an excellent captain, mark my goddamn words! He is positive, intelligent, inspirational and instinctive. I think he is the kind of captain players will respond to and is the kick up the arse that the test team needs. The pitch looks to have flattened out a bit and if (and it is a big if with our shaky batting line-up) we can score 350+ we should win the test.

[jeffers]

South Africa made the early breakthrough, 2 down now and Bell gone - shit! come on Kp

[kidsgroovy]

I think Bell is (after KP) our most gifted batsman but is mentally weak. I can't remember him making a big score when we really needed one. Too harsh?

[jeffers]

Bells the purer batsman, some say technically more sound than KP (who plays more on instinct) but like you say, Bells head is not right a lot of the time.

[northantsash]

harmison is leading the onslaught now 34 not out!
ambrose and flintoff could really do with a big score each though
