1/1? Continue at this rate, and you'd have a lead of 35

You'd better all be watching the NZ match, as SA have collapsed to a mere 303/5 we could be witnessing one of the great comebacks

How is it possible for a team to be this bad?

When I was 12, I really wasn't into cricket but was made to play on the school team for some reason.

Taylor's the one who Pietersen said was poo poo, causing a "senior player" to "confront him". The senior player was never named but I have it on good authority it was Ian Bell. Got all up in his face and asked him if he wanted to tango, apparently. Pietersen soon backed down.

KP's a good 5 inches taller, I think you mean "Got all up in his upper body/neck area"

Starc and Doherty are cowards, it's easy to make big runs at 9 and 11 but it's not going to win you any games. Should be 3 and 4 imo

SA are really showing their collapsing pedigree here. Not flashy like NZ getting bowled out for 45, but a good slow burner that every so often hints at a comeback briefly before dashing any remaining hopes.

Looked at Jade's figures on cricinfo. Saw "2.83" for his ODI figures and thought "that can't be right, maybe he had a run of really really efficient games at some point"

But that is, of course, his batting average.

Also I flew over there on Qantas (BA subcontracted) and got to watch this lovely video every time I got on a plane:

I don't know why they don't have the cricketers doing the oxygen mask bit though, surely they're really experienced at failing under pressure :confused:
