pedg Posted 26 August, 2008 Posted 26 August, 2008 This is getting beyond a joke. I was looking forward got some good cricket this evening and now England go and have SA at 45 for 5. Will be all over before tea time.

the stain Posted 26 August, 2008 Posted 26 August, 2008 I hope there'll at least be some highlights left to watch, if Broad's bowling has been as good as it reads on the commentary.
pedg Posted 26 August, 2008 Author Posted 26 August, 2008 83 all out. New record low for SA against england.
saintwarwick Posted 26 August, 2008 Posted 26 August, 2008 All over, 85/0 with 35.5 overs to spare. At least they will save on the electricity bill!
keithd Posted 26 August, 2008 Posted 26 August, 2008 i've had a shíte day at work. thought ah great, got a few beers in fridge watch the 2nd innings when i get in.... grr but a great result obviously.
pedg Posted 26 August, 2008 Author Posted 26 August, 2008 Annoyed me as well, as I have a spread bet on how many runs Bell would get. Well he got 28, does being not out count for anything??
SaintSparky Posted 26 August, 2008 Posted 26 August, 2008 Can't help but laugh at that slaughter, well done England.
saint1977 Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Didn't see the highlights but for those that did, did the Trent Bridge conditions provide swing? Trent Bridge was a featherbed pitch but ever since the new stands have been built, it has swung quite a bit and also seems to have had a bit more zip.

Trent Bridge was a featherbed pitch but ever since the new stands have been built, it has swung quite a bit and also seems to have had a bit more zip. According to Jonathan Agnew's blog post on the BBC site, there was absolutely no sideways movement at all. Apparently the South Africans were booed off, and I don't blame the crowd really. They've paid good money for a 50-over-a-side match, and the match is over inside 38 overs because the South Africans' effort and desire was so poor.

When this happens, the captains should get together and agree to have a quick 20/20 game. Nothing on it, just a bit of fun to entertain the crowd.
