Atherton saved a test match by not walking when Donald had him caught behind.
It's always gone on. I guess that this is particularly bad because Smith is such a unlikable cock in the first place.
England in the mood this morning. Sidearse was convinced he had Smith caught behind, but HARPER said no, and the 3rd umpire agreed with him (no hotspot or snickometer)
Very next over, and Broad snared Prince. 38/1 now...
The signing of Panesar really is underwhelming, IMO. He's a village cricketer in all aspects except his bowling, and right now that is about as threatening as Ashley Giles (at his LEAST threatening)
How long before a commentator describes this partnership as providing "useful runs"? Because that would be complete bollocks, seeing as SA will get 350 on this wicket and be miles ahead by the time we bat again.
Can I just say that I haven't got a clue why Anderson comes in after Sidebottom. I know it's not his job, but has Sidearse ever done anything with the bat at test level?
None of those smug "Watching SA v SA - priceless" banners this morning then?
Probably because if you blinked, you actually missed watching Strauss, Trott and Pieterson bat.
