South Africa v England, 2nd Test, Capetown, 2-6 January, 2016

Lol. The idea of feeling sorry for Anderson because of the pitch is risible. Perhaps he would like to bring his personal curator with him on tour to dial in his prefered conditions.

Batathons are so tedious.

I think I'm going to find a cave to stay in tomorrow.

"And an update from Adelaide, England are barely holding on" is still the most depressing and "WTF?" news update I've ever heard when waking up and putting on the radio before work.

Whilst still in shock and confused by what the radio update could possibly mean, I went on the internet and checked the score, did the maths over and over and when the only conclusion was that we were about to lose I just stared at the screen thinking "how the f*ck". 

Internet, radio and TV free day tomorrow I think. Should probably turn off those wicket alerts on my phone too...

Aye vilks, the same shock many Aussies felt after waking up to the news from Headingly 81.

It's not quite as painful when it's not against you lot but it still wouldn't be pleasant after the first 5 sessions!

In the movie Stokes plays the role of Collingwood

Good to see the Saffies avoided the follow on then

Will cook set a sporty declaration?

Given that we're usually completely awful on a belter, batting or bowling, one may not be needed.

The Incredible Hulk.

Because Adelaide is not worth recalling.

'tis a pity what Hansie did to the notion of a psorting declaration.

Why? The Poms lead the series 1-0.

Are you seriously trying to find logic in a horrie post ?

13/1272, including two run outs.

Cook hasn't had the greatest series.

Damn ... survived the evening just to die in the morning. This ain't over.


Kagiso Rabada! What a wonderful phrase

Kagiso Rabada! Ain't no passing craze

It means no worries for the rest of your days

It's our problem-free philosophy

Yikes that could be an expensive NB.

Root always get a life.

So was Headingly 1981. The present is what counts though, mate. Who holds the Ashes again?

Anyway despite my cave comment yesterday obviously I am a cricket fan so can't miss this. Farking worried, desperately hoping Root's 2nd life will save us.

Spoke too soon  .

This is going to be another Adelaide isn't it. "England holding on", words that will haunt me forever...

I say, this new chappie Morris, is a bit on the shite side , what!

My TV has decided to break this morning... Not sure I want to find a dodgy stream though, still not sure I can watch...

Surely a draw, surely a draw, surely a draw, surely a draw.
