f*** it, we don't need Gibbs as long as they keep falling at the other end. Smith not in yet....

 

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

He could have come in at 7 if he had wanted to. Does this mean that he won't bat at all

 

[CHAPPERS]

38 overs remaining, anybody know if the light is gonna hold out.

5 wickets (maybe 4) to take. We can do it....

 

[Pevenseagull]

"Gibbs doesn't have a great air of permanency" - I prefer Atherton the commentator to Atherton the 'let's have a blameathon' captain

no comments on weather but it's a reaonable assumption that we'll lose at least 10 overs AGAIN

this has happened on the majority of days in all the tests - irrespective of the floodlights being pointless why the hell haven't they been starting earlier? The light has taken the edge off of what has been a cracking series

 

[CHAPPERS]

I know, I noticed on Saturday after losing loads of overs on Friday they started no earlier. f***ing idiots.

 

[Reading Posh]

Sake!

Dropped catch. Vaughan drops a sitter at leg gully as Boje tucks one off his legs straight to the England skipper. Could be costly.

 

[Albion Dan]

118-6 COME ON ENGLAND!

 

[Scarface]

32.5 Hoggard to Boje, OUT: driving, playing away from his body and the ball goes into the air and Hoggard holds the catch

South Africa 118/6, Partnership of 32
N Boje c & b Hoggard 18 (26b 1x4 0x6)
HH Gibbs 73* (97b 14x4) MJ Hoggard 12.5-4-43-6

Smith in.....

Smith's going to give it a go
