And how!!! JP 166 not out... He's on for a double century and perhaps on day 1, 9 overs to go in the days play... Good stuff but there again, how good is a double ton against such opposition? How does one quantify the knock? Wouldn't JP rather be scoring a 100 against England at Lords then 250 against BANG A at Worcester? Does Neil get dropped now cause JP is showing such immense form against these chumps? Fixtures like these mean very little IMO...

SA good finish the day on 420/3 which is massive but don't we kind of expect that? And therein lies the problem with this fixture..

JP will play for SA-if not now, then after McKenzie(who isn't a young man anymore)stops or loses form.Of course he doesn't necessarily have to open either...what a joke it would be if he replaces Kallis in the next test.

mmm.. Personally I would like to see Harris dropped for either an extra batsman or bowler. Sorry to say but Harris is no more than drift wood.. He's selected to satisfy the purists theory of including a spinner but honestly I reckon you would get more purchase from JP or Zondeki...

WTF? Are Lance and Wonderbob smoking hot ****? This is a freakin' Bangladeshi team. Not even the real team. It's their a-side. Geez. This is batting practice and nothing more. What I said was not sarcastic. Grow up ffs. What are you guys surprised that we are performing well? I would be worried if we weren't! There's no sense in bragging against a crappy side such as Banga but come up against real opposition like Australia, then we flop. Get your heads examined.

Panesar hasn't done any better.
The next 2 matches are where the spinners get decent wickets.

Would love to watch these Bangladeshis bowl a few at you! :) Now that would be entertaining!

Ha ha you really are good for a laugh today... I'm still desperately going through this thread to find where we were bragging about our performance. I'll get back to you when I find it.

The more you talk the more it reveals the attitude that I was able to pick up in your very first post. You really cannot stomach SA doing well and you have a wish for them to fail...

Oh dear, now it appears Dale Steyn may be out....

Steyn to miss next Test

July 25 2008 at 06:02PM

By Richard Sydenham

Worcester, England - South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn, who has a broken left thumb, will miss the third test and is doubtful for the fourth test against England, team manager Mohammed Mossajee said on Friday.

Steyn sustained the injury while fielding a ball that was driven back to him off his own bowling during the second test at Headingley on Monday. The injury was only x-rayed on Thursday.

South Africa have a 1-0 lead in the four-match series.

Are you fckn high? I've been supporting my country ever since I could pronounce their name! Geez dude. You are way, way off. All I'm saying is that you can't measure or brag about our performance against crap opposition.
I only brag about our performance when we do well against real opposition.

Well then perhaps your words should start reflecting your attitude. If you had said that in the past we have flopped, then fair enough (although I would still argue this point as we have never rolled over and died!). Your insinuation above was that when we meet them we will flop.

Again I reiterate that I do not find any bragging above but a discussion of us doing well thus far...

WTF? Are you purposely blind/dumb or something? Geez dude seriously. Get yourself examined. You are seriously delusional. I support my country and I criticize them accordingly. You clearly have not learnt the rudimentary skill of being unbiased. End of story. Move along now.

Mercurial, wtf are you on about? What the f%ck did I do to you? You are making no sense to me at all. If you can point out what I said to piss you off, I will happily debate it with you, but for now I will assume you are just trolling and winding up lancelot for cheap thrills.

Its a pretty pointless game obviously, I am not trying to debate that. Its a fookin warmup game against Bang A, but its better than having endless net sessions. I never bragged about anything, please show me where you think I did.

Good to see Kallis getting 70 runs (yes it is Bangladesh but it is time in the middle) in the first innings and they have opened with him in the second innings to give him even more time. Good move. He is the only one in the top 5 to not come off yet.
