What a remarkable game against S Africa.

South Africa scored 484 in their 1st innings--and lost!!

England scored 604 for 9 wickets declared in their 1st innings. S.Africa then got 229 in their 2nd innings and England scored 110 for 1 wicket in the final session.

What a game!
not really gonna share your enthusiasm hartly, I just read the game report on BBC. drawing the series at home is the very least we should be doing.

I see we hammered France's second string in the rugby, after our second string lost by a single point last week in Marseille. Really fired up for the Rugby world cup.
Anyone see the new England rugby shirts? they look like cycling shirts. bloody aweful they are.
Agreed - horrible jerseys. Reminds me of those nasty Italian World Cup Footy shirts from last year.
yeah Tottenham seem to think they're Italian this season too
Who comes up with these hideous jerseys? I can point to the horrible Green Liverpool jersey, Man Utd's Grey, and the Buffalo Bill's Away jersey - aptly described as looking like "Canadian Pyjamas."
Kappa keep coming out with the skintight football jerseys, not exactly suitable for the 'larger' fans whom look like the Michelin man whilst adorning their kit.

I thought it was funny that the Cincy Bengals decided to wear their all new black kit yesterday for a 1pm kick off in 90 degree heat.
stupid, stupid franchise.
Haha yeah not exactly thought out is it?

Of course, the black jersey is good for making the larger fan look slimmer. Before I got rid of my I-just-got-married gut I would wear my Welsh Away Black Jersey everywhere - wouldnt dream of wearing it in Britian though.

I thought you were going to refer to Macedonia or beating France in the Rugby :D Isn't it good to have England winning in a variety of sports for a change?

Again, England (footy) looked very unconvincing.
not as unconvincing as Wales did though, then again they got battered.

Not many of the 'big' teams are doing well. I mean look at Germany. Easiest group I've seen in a long time and they drew with frickin Iceland and Lithuania at home and almost the Faroes too.

Scandalous! Only one team should be allowed to play in green in England - the original and best.....
