with no Kirtley or Bicknell this time round you'd really be willing to leave out Anderson and Kabir Ali? the thing about Jimmy is he can still take a wicket or two even when playing badly and that's what we need...there's no way he'll be left out.

i have my suspicions about Ed Smith...ok a good 64 in his debut but nothing since and the fact he didn't come into the stumps from sqaure leg when we had chances to run players out shows a lack of commitment to me.
Hi Iam bit confused. :smirk: giggsysgirl are you the one :confused: from Japan?

be interesting to see how Thorpe gets on.

Smith
Gibbs
Kirsten
Kallis
Rudolph
Mckenzie
Boucher
Pollock
Hall
Adams / if not injured
Ntini

looks to be the line up for us. Full strength at last. ;)

Kinda win win for Thrope isn't it? He can hardly do any worse than our batsmen in the last test match. A couple of 30s and everyone will be happy I suspect. God, we're pleased with little. I can see Kirsten getting more big runs at the Oval and SA getting us out cheaply in at least one innings.

There you go, GG - Anderson got a wicket i the last over of the day :D

In answer to your Freddy question... have you seen his stats for today? :confused: :

Andrew Flintoff 14 2 73 0 :(

...Not up to his usual standard, he's been probably the best player of the series for me...

Mckenzie too...useful wicket to take :D

i see what you mean bout Freddy now but he was nowhere near that when i last posted.

i very nearly agree with your last comment altho Nas really won us the Trent Bridge game. Butch could've been up there too if he hadn't dropped so many.

That would have been:

600 for 5 dec, put your house on it.

Not my fault you lost your house through inability to read a post, though admittedly that's rather sad.

Finally! SA 484ao
not toooo bad! if we can put in a similar stand then bowl them out for less than 200...still, chasing is always crap (looks like Vaughan has inherited Nasser's coin-toss-curse)

Freddy got Hall for 1 tho...love it! :D

they could've declared post 600....

yeah ok ok i admit it's not great but the bowling seemed to be a big improvement today. we have to push for 400.

captaincy seems to be Mickey's albatross atm.

Latest: England 109-2; South Africa 484

england are in total control. Thorpe has the SA attack on the ropes, SA don't know where to turn. england are the greatest test nation that has ever lived.

As with every player who gets it. If it's allowed in the rules, we should have a non-playing captain. Otherwise we should just give it to whoever the crappest rookie in the team is. :rolleyes:

Flintoff out to Adams, just short of a well deserved ton. But England past 600, giving themselves a fighting chance.
:confused: how can anyone be bowled out by Adams? man i wish i could see this.
