Rain all day and the match ends in a draw :D
I sincerely wish that we bowl them out for around 100, but I'm reaching :eek:

Also think a draw... Think england will have a go though, lose some wickets and then play for the draw.

OR

Kp will bash us senseless and england will win with 5 or 6 wckets :(

I would love to see a result in this match, but unless Morkel and Nel get their act together and we get 4 bowlers instead of two hitting the right lengths.

Otherwise, it would be a win for England, a deserved one though.

yeah, everything points to a Eng win, except if it rains, but weather predictions is similar to yesterday, so there should be enough time.

But it is setup for a memorable bowling performance. A magical spell early on from someone, maybe Ntini, and the pressure is on the Pommies.

What about a tie ;)

Something like this:

In 1993-94, at the age of 29, he was called up for the Test tour of Australia. He was selected for the first Test in Melbourne but it was at the second Test in Sydney where De Villiers established himself at Test level. With Australia needing just 117 runs to win, De Villiers took 6 for 43, including the final wicket - a return catch from Glenn McGrath - to lead South Africa to a five run victory. De Villiers' match figures of 10 for 123 saw him named Man of the Match.

Former England captain Tony Greig had said at the start of the final innings that South Africa's chances were 100-1. At the Man of the Match presentation, De Villiers reminded him of his statement, adding, "You know South Africans; we never give up."

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why oh why oh why oh why oh why? I just dont get it - WHY does Ntini have the new ball? For the swing that he cannot produce? :rolleyes:

Short balls under 80mph have a tendency to go to the boundary - has Smith not informed him of this or does he think he knows better?

Is the low run rate becuase of good bowling or are we just not making them play? Difficult to work that out on Cricinfo.

not really making them play. But also perhaps a conscious move from them to get in properly first.
