KP and Ian Bell started as they finished last night, going at 5 an over and putting on a breezy 90odd to add to the 192 they put on together last night. It’s the highest ever 4th wicket partnership against South Africa.
KP then gloved a steepling riser from Morkel, and walked before Harper had to tell him, out for 152.
Fucking silly KP and his nervous 150’s! Some problem to have that, eh kiddywinks.
Colly came in, looked nervous and was done, well and truly by Billy Bowden. Harris bowled one that went with the arm (does he have any other delivery?), and it hit pad, and a sharp catch from Amla, and that was that.
Little Timmy must be hoping that they continue to bowl as they have done so far, short and wide, just like Boucher. Boucher, had a shocker behind the stumps this morning too, looking exceedingly ordinary to the dipping, swinging ball, after pitching.
All in all, The England’s session.

Comment by Spigot July 11, 2008 @ 2:36 pmOld bean, if you remember,i told you sometime ago that The England’s chances of being #2 depends a lot on the outcome of this series. From what i have seen yesterday and in the two sessions today, i think The England revival is pretty much on the cards. If not for that ginger collingwood and the look-imperial-while-getting-out Vaughany, their batting looks a good package. And if they can find a better spinner than Monty for places other than Old Trafford, they can be the #2 team.
Comment by 12th Man July 11, 2008 @ 3:07 pmBut i don’t want to eat my words a yet. But watch out Missy, Suavey’s turning out to be true.
didn’t you feel it is good enough. 500+ on board.
Comment by Neno Cricket July 11, 2008 @ 3:28 pmCor, the way the Saffers are bowling, we can look forward to maiden test century from Broad!
Comment by Dave July 11, 2008 @ 3:30 pmSpigot, as they say great minds and all that gubbins. The little ginger fella has surpassed that score easily thanks to the ineptitude of this attack!
Comment by Suave July 11, 2008 @ 3:58 pm12th man, I’m in the running so far..
And neno cricket, no, the last two times we scored 500 runs in the 1st innings there, we drew both. I reckon there going to try for 600 then spend three days bowling them out. Or it’ll fizzle out into another high scoring draw.
I don’t know, these English batsmen just convert their starts into big scores! 152 for Pietersen and now 199 for Ian Bell!
Comment by Dave July 11, 2008 @ 5:51 pmGoodness – noble IRB has thrown away his wicket on 199 so Cap’n Vaughan can declare. What a team player!
Comment by Ceci Masters July 11, 2008 @ 5:53 pmI say burn the bastards!!
Good ole Reg, always looking out for the team!
Comment by Suave July 11, 2008 @ 7:06 pmCanny Bell knows that he’ll get more media mileage from being out for 199 than 200 and something. Sue Barker’s no doubt writing a quesiton about it right this minute (she does write all the questions on AQOS, doesn’t she?)
Comment by Mel July 11, 2008 @ 11:28 pm@ suave ….
Then its problem with pitches and not bowlers. Do you agree with it……
Anything bowler respected pitch can give you results.

Comment by Neno Cricket July 12, 2008 @ 6:56 amNeno, but The England took three wickets on the same pitch this morning! Is it pitch or bowlers, now?
I’ll add you to my blogroll too!
Comment by Suave July 12, 2008 @ 1:38 pmCould not comment suave.
I have not seen the pitch and nor analysed it. So the god knows what a hell about pitch is
