Cricket : Day 4

[cheeseroll]

Early start today. Still a new ball, but then we still have an opener and the rest to come.

 

[Chicken Run]

Come on ENGLAND
If any c u n t comes onto this thread and says then

 

[cheeseroll]

295-2 someones out but BBC not updated yet.

 

[cheeseroll]

Not going so well. Both Strauss and Vauhan have gone this morning.

309-3.

 

[John Boy]

359/4

Thorpe 34*
Flintoff 16*

 

[Lord Bracknell]

366/4 at lunch.

I reckon we need just a few more than 500, to leave SA with over 300 to get in the fourth innings and a day and a bit for us to bowl them out.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

a lead of 250 would be do able

 

[Marshy]

385-4 moving steadily along

 

[tedebear]

well impressed with the opening partnership total - didn't think the pommies had it in them I agree with Lord B. although maybe not 500 but somewhere not to far shy, got to play for a win!!

just nice to see us beat Pakistan

 

[geoffreyp]

407-7
thorpe 48
freddie 49
500 a distinct possibility if these two and jones can push on plus a few from tailenders

 

[geoffreyp]

[Marshy]

thorpe 50

 

[geoffreyp]

freddie 59
421-4

 

[Marshy]

flintoff 50

 

[geoffreyp]

lead of 232
111 partnership
freddie appears to be flying but can only tell by teletext updates

 

[CHAPPERS]

They've just bowled a couple of short balls that Freddie has hit for six, otherwise he's been playing patiently having only really been beaten by Ntini. South Africa looking tired.

Thorpe playing bloody well.

 

[tedebear]

hmmm c'mon you pommies

 

[Lord Bracknell]

hmmm c'mon you pommies

I can't believe you said that.

Even Roz (who is only aussie by descent) can't bring herself to support the cricket team from the land she was BORN IN.

 

[itszamora]

Flintoff gone for 60, currently 434/5

 

[rool]

Is there a country, county or town that you two can't make claim to?
