Review. Radio commentators don't think there is a chance on initial reaction.

[Pancake]

SA review that second to last ball!

[jeff leopard]

1 ball left…either lose or draw…test cricket fracking rocks!

[Minty]

1 to go after an unsuccessful appeal

[Smirking_Saint]

go on

[Pancake]

Get in, Onions!

[Smirking_Saint]

get in

[bungle]

Onions!

[krissyboy31]

TFFT!!!

[Draino76]

Oh ONIONS!

[badgerx16]

Onions the hero again , with honourable mentions to Bell and Colly. Think KP owes us something, though.

[Appy]

Onions!!!

[bungle]

It was Bell and Collingwood that did most of it though, musn't be forgotten.

 

Pietersen a waste of time once again.

[OldNick]

Bell not such a numpty after all is he?

[pedg]

Oooo, that was close. Lucky its my day to pick up from school so home to see the last couple of overs.

 

Just once I would like us to draw a test with wickets to spare, is that too much to ask??

[Hatch]

Nice one.

[The Cat]

Spent all day watching that, but couldn't face the last 17 balls as it was too stressful.

 

Listened on TMS instead, came back downstairs to see the celebrations only to find my 4 year old watching Ben 10.

 

He'll learn.

[krissyboy31]

241-7 at the close... I still fancy us to get 300.

 

Gonna be a draw IMO.

 

Should have put some money on it. Would have got decent odds at that time.

[AndyNorthernSaints]

Well played Brigadier Block, Sherminator and Bunny Onions. South Africa must be gutted once again :-)

[saints_is_the_south]

Get in there! Been out of the office for the last hour so been frantically checking the bbc updates on my phone, re-load after re-load! Nerve wracking stuff.

 

1 test to go, I'd take another draw thanks!

[Saint Keith]

there was some american bloke in the bar of the hotel wondering why we were all getting so excited about getting a draw

[dubai_phil]

I apologise. I was one of Bell's doubters. I held the opinion he did not have the bottle for Test Cricket. I was convinced he should have been dropped after Centurion.

 

I eat humble pie, I was wrong, well done Sherminator.

 

And, I have to admit, as with Cardiff & Centurion, I turned off once the last wicket pair came together, I just couldn't watch.

 

Well done Colly Bell, Onions and Stuart Broad, a finer duck for the cause taking up 22 balls will be hard to find.

 

Poor old Smith, left the declaration half an hour too long. LMFAO

[dubai_phil]

Oh, & would it be really bad if, the next time Onions plays against SA in a pyjama game the DJ plays "Oops I did it again"?

[Hatch]

SA call up Tahir into squad for 4th test

SA call up Tahir into squad for 4th test

 

Oh crap.

 

Although weren't they saying that there's been a lot of rain in J'burg and with a bit of green on top it should be a seamers' wicket? Or have I just invented that nugget?

[saints_is_the_south]

Oh crap.

This is the forecast for J'Burg for the next 10 days http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/tenday/SFXX0023?from=sixten_topnav - Storms nearly every day.

[skintsaint]

draw on the card then...

[saints_is_the_south]

draw on the card then...

 

That'll do!

[krissyboy31]

SA call up Tahir into squad for 4th test

 

They've now had to scrap that idea due to issues over his eligibility.

Ironic that England have 4 SA born cricketers in their team.

[corsacar saint]

KP owes big time for the last test.[ PC was totally immense again].
