Next winter, up for it.

All I need is our maud to agree.

 

Last time I did it was 25 yrs ago.

 

C'mon love lets do it.

SA have folded to 46/6. Two brilliant catches from Taylor and 5/1 in 31 balls from Broad (who was unwell on first day).

Awesome cricket.

There is an England flag with Little Lever on, but its spoiled by Bury fc in the corner

Superb today.

 

Just dream of the time when both the cricket team and the wanderers win at the same time.

To be honest, I'm a bit pissed off that I've spent the day watching the Wanderers, when I could have spent the day watching this.

 

Actually, that's not true, but sounds like an amazing day of cricket.

 

And to think, some of the pundits were saying that Broad was struggling.

south africa have definitely fallen over the edge of the cliff

 

big rebuilding job

 

suspect itll be harder than it should be due to political interference

He was a bit first innings. Once he got his first he became inspired and bowled one of those mega spells that he does from time to time.

Only disappointment was the fact that there's no cricket for a couple of days

Thankfully we had a great weekend, despite the football

Dorsal has injured his side and misses the last test.

Who should replace him?

Woakes probably.

He should, but they might want to have a look at Foottit

Another amazing catch by Taylor, albeit with a slice of luck

Is this winnable?

 

Get over 600

That Cook wicket was coming for a while unfortunately.

 

Looks a very difficult pitch to bat on; going to take a great performance to get up near to them, but that would certainly put the pressure on their shower of shite batting if we could.

Also nice to see people have woken up to the fact Bairstow isn't a wicketkeeper. Great planning for the management to encourage Buttler to go to the IPL so he won't be playing 4 day cricket early season.

 

Boycott tries to defend his keeping,, but his constant snipes at Taylor make it pretty clear he knows Johnny's only long term shot is taking that number 5 berth

All about saving the follow on now.

 

350 looks a big score on this pitch; 475 is criminal

Stokes off again

Tell us how well Moen's playing too

Well, he's not out!

Need to bumble our way inside 150 behind here; get close enough they have to play sensibly and can't give themselves quite so much time; if we need to bat 4 full sessions to save the game I don't like our chances at all on this pitch

There are some issues with the wicketkeeping, similarly all is not right with Cook at first slip, he seems to miss a few.

 

Anyway decent effort with the bat.

Bit disappointed with the pitch, that one that did Compton was unplayable, and only part way through day two.

I personally think Cook is fine, Bairstow is making him look bad. Alec Stewart did a great piece on sky about it a couple of nights ago

Agree with that, just Cook has missed a few with Buttler keeping too. Definitely more problems with Bairstow though.

Perhaps Cook doesn't understand Yorkshire

you cant expect to win many series with the two non batting batters

 

taylors shot today was pathetic

Good start from Jimmy

De Villiers Wagon Wheel from the BBC website

09:07

It's taken us a little while, but we've managed to dig out a wagon wheel of AB de Villiers' knock today.

And his effort in the first innings.

And what he managed in the second innings at Johannesburg.
