[Cricket] 3rd Test: South Africa v England at Johannesburg

[glasfryn]

just pure joy

 

[Robski]

Will be interesting to know how many times he has 5 wickets in a single spell. He is devastating when he gets into the groove.

Seven, apparently

That wicket from Stokes swung like a Roberto Carlos free kick. Pitched just outside off and hit leg stump!

Lots of cloud cover here. Quite unusual for Joburg.

Hoping we can wrap this up in the next 20 minutes before kick off

Holy Moly! I'm on a night shift tonight and went for a nap just before South Africa came out to bat after lunch. I woke up and popped on the TV to see the score 22-0 and wondered how they had only put on six runs in three hours before my sleepy mind registered it was England batting. What on Earth did I just miss?

And a day in the pub for me with the Barmy Army tomorrow.

One of Broad's Golden Arm spells.

I actually expected a 10 wicket win. Is that arrogant? I hope not.

Making hard work of this

[Javeaseagull]

Can't remember the last time we won a series in SA. Fantastic performance from a team that will only improve. To win the Ashes and then beat SA, it doesn't get much better.

 

[pasty]

Superb performance from England today. Well played lads.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Fantastic effort that to beat the No1 team in their back yard. Well done England - brilliant!!
