December 20th – England vs South Africa (Cricket)
I’ve watched a lot of this test match and it has been very entertaining. It has a lot of similarities to the Australia vs West Indies match where the mitch played well early but is starting to play a few tricks.
I’ve played a little bit of cricket in my time and England have made the common error (my belief) of using the night watchman to see out the final few overs at the end of day 4. Yes it protects a batsman at the end of the day when conditions could be at their worst but what it does in this situation is it provided the South Africans with an easy early wicket which has got them pumped up and ready to charge. They have then picked up another wicket with Cook falling to Harris as i type this.
Their is some weather in the area and i am hoping we don’t have the same situation we did in the New Zealand vs Pakistan test but i am willing to take the chance with the odds on offer. With England 3 for 33 and no chance of chasing the 364 runs required for victory i can see the Afrricans going on the full assault all day without fear of leaking runs. 75 overs remain and 7 wickets are needed. The tail will struggle to handle Harris and Morkel on a pitch doing crazy things.
