Bastards doing that to me when I've been up all night on drugs. Heart attack? It was the cricket, not the meph.

Congratulations to the Durham boys Collingwood and Onions !!!

 

[The Kid]

Fuck me, that was close.

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

Remind me I said that when SA are 300-4 at the end of tomorrow.

(7 wickets dec; 85.5 overs; 368 mins) 301

That was close too.

 

[monkyfunky]

Well done Onions & Collingwood. Can't believe we survived that.

 

[Green Light]

Yeah, good blag. We were lookin good for 3 and then the tumble ...

A draw will do. After all, it's away to SA.

Ps: reminded me a bit of the Ashes test @ Cardiff, at the end.

You know your English when you celebrate a draw.

You don't know your English.

I know you're English because you don't know your English.

Shame they couldn't land Smith/Kallis - a hat trick straight after lunch would go down well - happy travels SHM.

Just thought I'd bump this - England have a lead & 6 wickets in hand, Cook scored a century, Strauss 54 & Collingwood is currently on 91 - it's looking potentially pretty good.


The usual EADD curse strikes - Collingwood out - for 91!

Hahaha!

Still looking pretty good though. Push on tomorrow, try and get a lead of 250+ and then put them back in for 4 sessions. Will take a bit of an increased run rate, but i'm confident Prior etc can up it a bit against a pretty staid saffa attack.

Obv we'll now be all out in the first hour tomorrow!

 

[The Kid]

Just backed England at 3.5's. Let's get some early wickets!!

 

[The Kid]

Swanny is a cricketing genius!

 

[B9]

Oh fucking get in Kallis clean bowled for 3 runs!!!!!!!!!
