last session

The pitch died down for England.

Actually, it looked as if South Africa used the heavy roller.

Anderson and Eyelids looked benign early one.

Eyelids had three overs to start with, one ripping nut, two pretty good deliveries, and some gentle tripe.

After every fast bowler had proved the ball wasn’t swinging, the England tried to convince the umpires it must have been out of shape.

Then the pitch and Anderson got a little groove happening and McKenzie was sent.

Freddy stepped up then, and Smith was sent away.

Few cricketers give you the sort of virgin splitting erection Freddy does.

The wicket was only half of it, the turn to the crowd, the arms in the air, every cricketer does it, but only the Warnes and Freddies really affect the hair on your back.

Anderson ripped an off cutter in Jacques’ nads. Lucky for him he can’t see them any more, so it won’t matter if they are blue.

In his next over an off cutter removed him.

Then the circus came to town.

Amla scooped one to mid off where Vaughan came in and claimed a catch.

Amla walked all the way to the fence, where he saw Mickey Arthur standing with a shot gun, deliverance style, and Graeme Smith in his underwear giving all sorts of hand signals.

Daryl Harper looks concerned, more so than his usual look, and Billy refers it and after 12 replays, the third umpire has to give it not out as the video footage gives benefit of doubt.

I thought it was out, and still do, but I trust Vaughan’s fingers.

Uhum.

Then a lot of discussions in the box, about walking as opposed to being given out.

In my opinion, once you walk, you are out, you can’t get to the rope and then come back.

If you want the umpires to make a decision don’t walk.

Bloody South Africans even make walking unsportsmanlike.

Eyelids and Broad only got 7 overs between them, but Jimmy and Freddy had the hot hand, so fair is fare.www.cricketwithballs.com
