South Africa - England first Test

[Lazmansa]

Well it looks like England should have batted first.

I dont konw how many cricket fans are out there but i have been watching and it looks like it is tough out there.
South African is definatly in the lead at the moment

I know anything could still happen but that wicket is only going to get hearder to bat on.

At the moment the score is 1st innings - Day 2 SA 405/8

Shouldn't be a problem, after all it is England you are playing.

The Ashes :deal:

Looks like that wicket is getting flatter if anything

Thank goodness for Kevin Pietersen stupidly running himself out to make the last session an interesting one

Kevin - 'Noooooooo' means No ok? :top:

Now that was an exciting end to a test game

we did throw it away in the first innings but not getting the tail out Our bowling attack was not experianced enough.

But all in all cricket was the winner there

So what was the outcome,


FYI Aussies beat the windies 2-0 in a 3 test series

The Ashes :deal:

I suppose I will let you keep gloating about that one but how many is that since 1990

 

[Lazmansa]

It ended up as a draw but it was an exciting ending

The 1st Test was an easy win for the Aussies, and it looked like the series was going to be a white wash for the Aussies after the West Indies was bundled out for 228 and 187, they lost by an innings and 65 runs on the 3rd day.


The 2nd Test was an exciting one here, it ended up a draw, with Chris Gayle scoring 155, it was a great captains knock, one of his 6's was massive, it landed on the roof of the grand stand.

The 3rd test went to the 4th over of the 5th day when the West Indies tail was wagging, the Aussies ended up winning by 35 runs.

Has Merv Hughes reconsidered saying that the WIndies should be barred from Test matches - never a good thing to kick a sports team when they're down, they'll always come back to bite you.

 

[Zorba]

I didn't know he said that, it's never a good thing to do.

 

[Marginal]

I will disregard the first test and only consider the last 2. I still have some hope for the West Indies.
