South Africa vs England, 3rd Test, Day 2
I was initially witnessing the game from my sofa, but then switched to test match sofa, an internet radio station comprising of a great bunch of Pommie Fans, and Jarrod Kimber.
Seems like they are somehow affiliated to the Barmy Army. If that is not the case, no offense meant.
I was with them throughout the day, and there were quite a few gems, straight from Vivid De Wet to Dread and the Head. I would not go into the details as its only for the listeners. It’s free anyways, so you shouldn’t care. Btw I was the source of both of them.
This post is not about the Test Match Sofa, but they were more interesting than the cricket. Even though 10 wickets fell today…
Earlier today, South Africa started day 2 at 279/6 looking all set to post at least 350 before lunch and seek some redemption for the innings defeat they suffered in the second test.
They were only as right as Darrel Harper’s decisions are
they were dismissed for 291, kallis boringly top scoring with 108 off 189 and paul harris remained unbeaten on 10 with a strike rate of 142.85. That was the most remarkable thing he did all day.
just as were were sure that the freshness in the pitch had gone, england decided to show us how evenly contested they wanted the game to be, being 4/73 in almost a lot of time.
then the so called recovery began. with bell and cook at the crease, the eyes if the average england fan glinted with the third cousin of hope
then both promptly decided to fool no further. 6/174
The day ended with england being 7/214, and the late surge in runs can be totally attributed to Matt Prior, whose batting has never been worse in his life. That is what will always happen if your form is a downward sloping curve.
Friedel De Wet is straight out of them vivid pornos, i feel. what do you think?
Here is the cricinfo thing on the game.
Hear! Hear! Paddlesweep is writing a book. Watch out…
