I'd like to think we will. Might not have to worry anyway the amount its raining at the moment.

Bloody hope so, poor old vaughan will be gutted if we don't after all his hard work.

I reckon we'll pull through.
Only saw Flintoffs dismissal this morning, surely sliding down leg?

Leg stump according to hawkeye. Good innings by big Freddy though.

Yeah I felt sorry for Freddy, got a shooter right at the close, we'd have been home and hosed with him at the crease this morning.

Meopham, Kent.
Yeah, course we will.
However, I'm pretty sure it'll be a draw even if we do follow-on, and that would make the day slightly more interesting.

Flintoff looked classy at the crease so I couldn't agree with you more.

Darren Gough is in next, and if his batting is anything like his bowling then we're in trouble. Does anyone know of anyone worthy of replacing him? You know, someone who isn't injured, has maybe taken more wickets this season than any other Englishman and who is spearheading a title chase? :rolleyes:

Which Surrey player did you have in mind Sim? After all, no other counties play cricket.

He's still possibly the worst test spinner ever !

He bowled very well against Graeme Smith on Saturday. He was the only bowler who looked anything like Test class!

I wanted a picture of Dale rather than Hank but I couldn't find any decent pics of him that were small enough!

Well looks like a draw it is. Have to be pleased with that after the firs tinnings total they set.

Gonna be a dull day now, as the game just drifts off into the inevitable draw.

Maybe we should declare and see if they will set us a total to chase.
