I've never been into cricket much, since school, but I've been following this game and I'm getting quite into it.
Anybody else? This test looks borderline for England.
Now, I'm refreshing my memory on the rules of the game 🙂

Well England won by 70 😀😀

Wat a performance by Kirtley taking 6 wickets (6 for 34), but I would say that Pollock should have been man of the Match overall.

Waw... i cant believe I knoe so much and I live in Scotland 😕😕😕

England was veeery lucky, 3 decisions going against us (useless umpires meed to watch that no-ball line and when they watch for no-balls, they miss the inside edge and give lbw decisions).

About the only way England can beat us is if they make crappy wickets that no-one can bat on and hope they win the toss.

BTW, england doesn't have any bowlers...just guys who know to keep their arms straight when trying to get the ball to the other side of the wicket.

But niether does South Africa.

Australia looks like it will have to wait another 10 years, at least, before another cricket side could claim it was playing on the same ground as the aussies.

Unfortunately you're quite right. South Africa were the better team, even though they lost.

Unlike your team, England players only seem to be able to do one thing in a match. If they bowl, they can't bat; if they bat, they can't field; and if it's the captain, just look at what's happened to Vaughan's batting figures... 🙁
