Will we win in Saff Afrika?

Simon Jones, I fackin love you, you Welsh sheep shagger.

Dale Steyn looks the business. The new Shane Bond, but without the injuries? I hope so.

49 runs with Pollock completely fresh is still a difficult task, I'm nervous already!

No he doesn't. The ocassional gem but he bowls at least one four-ball an over.

[Boeta]

1) He's 21
2) He's quick as fuck
3) He's got as good an action as anyone in world cricket

I can't think of a better fast bowling talent in the world. The peach he got Vaughan out with was a demonstration of this. He's bowled okay on a flat wicket on debut, I'm not particularly looking forward to seeing him on a more bowler friendly wicket when he has more confidence.

ha! Hardly the finished article, try potential?

Well done Dave, you're really sharp, aren't you. When I say talent I mean young talent, obviously.

[DMR]

I'm not a fucking mind reader am I?

[sonicyouth]

No but you're a thick cunt!

[Boeta]

C'mon Dave, it doesn't take a genius to work out that when someone is talking about a talent, they are talking about a player who has talent but has yet to prove it.

[DMR]

I'd say Shane Warne is a talent though...

[Boeta]

I wouldn't, I'd say he is a proven world class superstar.

That was a fluke! Vaughan was clearly put off by Steyn's scabby lip.

Wooo! We won...without losing anymore wickets :shock:

[Boeta]

The first ever England side to win 8 consective Test matches. A fantastic win.

[blinkpip]

A great win, lets hope we have a good boxing day test. A game I actually get to watch.

[Boeta]

SA have brought back Gibbs and Boje, whilst giving a maiden call up to Charl Langeveldt (the guy who bowled very well for SA 'A'. There is also a distinct possibility that Tsolikelle will be dropped and AB de Villiers will keep wicket and bat lower down the order. On paper, South Africa look set to have a much stronger side for the Boxing Day Test.

ECB reveals county one-day revamp

Sounds like excellent news to me, such a revamp of our stale domestic one-day cricket has been long overdue and we are now going to playing as much 50 over cricket as the rest of the world - about time!
