Stuart Broad had 5 wickets for 11 runs into his last over.
On a pitch that Beefy had proclaimed 260/270 was a par score.
South Africa didn’t really bat badly.
And Broad didn’t bowl hand grenades.
There wasn’t any extravagant movement, but there was some bounce.
But every time he bowled a pretty good ball someone edged it.
He did that 5 times, well 4 really, Botha probably missed his.
At 5 for 11 Broad was the happiest man in the world, other than Devondra Banhart.
Then Gunter came out and saved the day for everyone.
He hit 3 balls to the fence to finish the over.
His batting was Jack Palance like, he took down the pretty little Broad, and the story will be all about his batting.
Gunter went on to top score with 13.
Was a gloriously paced innings, completely overshadowing Broad’s bowling I thought.
And i forgot the best part, Gunter came out wearing a battlestar galactica helmet.
