...Unless Poms get 600

Hah, yeah.

I should fix that. This has draw or lose written all over it.

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Taylor gone. This kid is good though, sure he's going to make a name for himself in international cricket.

[Garson007]

If we keep the lead below 100 we can still easily draw this match.

[Garson007]

Mmm... Both our openers out?

[sand_man]

Ja. All of a sudden England are beginning to look like favourites.

Ja. All of a sudden England are beginning to look like favourites.

Nope. A draw doesn't have a favorite.

Tahir is probably good for the tail on this sorta pitch

I still don't rate him. Not good enough for the international stage. Getting wickets when teams are defending is one thing. Spinners need to be able to play well under all circumstances.

Yip looks like SA have a problem, although he bowled very impressively in the second innigngs of the first test.


dangerman Peterson gone.

[Khanya]

With who are the odds now?

[DJ...]

dangerman Peterson gone.

Pietersen is gone. Peterson is on our team.

Ironic, I know...

[DrYes]

Pietersen is gone. Peterson is on our team.

Ironic, I know...

Technically he is.Might not be available for next test due to injury.

[DrYes]

Technically he is.Might not be available for next test due to injury.

Graeme Smith, the South Africa captain, will field with a strapped knee for the rest of the Headingley Test after being injured on the third day. But, South Africa have picked up another injury as well. Jacques Kallis developed lower back spasms overnight and will not bowl or field in the current innings.

That brings to three the number of injuries picked up in this match after Alviro Petersen suffered a grade one strain of his right hamstring. None of the wounded will be able allowed a runner - in keeping with the ICC's law change last year - and Petersen and Kallis will only be able to bat at No.7 and No.8 because their injuries are internal.

Very much so.
