So we've got like 31 overs to go for the draw?

F_ck, how did it go so wrong?

Smith Broken hand?

Steyn damaged foot?

Lousy pitch?

Windgat factor?

Maybe Aussies played better?

They robbed boucher! No way that was LBW

They basically only need 1 more wicket since it doesn't look like Smith will bat.

The only thing we can hope for is that the overcast weather turns to rain.

It's past 4pm here now, so any interruptions can't be made up for before the end of play.

Come on RAIN GODS!!!

i know it's time is past but one of the problems with a sub is that it would almost always favour the side batting last.

the obvious rule would be that once someone is subbed, they cannot perform a specialist task again. and then the sub has to be made at the beginning of the innings. but even this leaves the 4th inning team with the a huge advantage.

I fail to see why you say it will favour the side batting last? It's simple IMO - replace an injured batsman with a substitute batsman, replace an injured bowler with a substitute bowler etc...

Smith is coming out to bat

That's a true captain right there!

 

[photonman]

Haha and they just dropped Ntini at first slip, was a sitter too

 

[stepper]

it won't help 8 overs is too much to survive with Makhaya

 

[mercurial]

I see Smith is batting. Oh my. The tension. I hope we can draw this game
But how important was that poor decision to dismiss Boucher now? Fckn stupid umpire.

Makhaya and Steyn lasted 17.3 overs (105 balls) together.

Smiff and Ntini need to last out 39 balls.

Total BS that was

 

[mercurial]

WTF is wrong with Ntini?

108.6 Bollinger to Ntini, no run, Ntini goes for the big hit over mid-off but misses

Does he have a brain?

I don't think I've ever woken up to watch TEST cricket before. This is gripping stuff, what an awesome series.

I was thinking the same thing now.

 

[photonman]

That's fast bowlers for you

Johnson vs Smith again, but Smith survived it

The wicket is keeping seriously low still, effing huge cracks too

Commentary on SS is pretty decent too, Pommy really adds something to the commentary team. Now if only SS could pull the Nine Sports HD feed, that would top it off.

 

[mercurial]

OMF, I can't bare it anymore. I'm keeping track of the score via crinfo.com's live feed. Ntini is facing and I can't help but think he is gonna fck it up

It's good watching the cricket in HD and 5.1, adds to the tension immensely

Dude, where's your TV??

I'm not at the office but we have about 10x 50" Plasmas scattered all over our floor and I can guarantee you, all of them will have SS2 on now.
