Anyone listening to TMS

Watching it's tedious enough.
Just listening to it? I'll pass :-)
 
We've had Sky Spotties in the background since 7am last three days. It's a great Test!

... I was just typing "and as I type it could go either way. Fancy a bet?" when Finn took Amla and the odds changed a lot!

Agreed ................ depend on de Villiers and du Plessis .............. it may be close but I think S Africa will just crack if one of these guys gets out quickly ......... storm clouds are being seen ....... it will be a long day tomorrow for S Africa if they stay in

I really enjoy listening to TMS
 
I cannot see how SA can last more than a few hours now that du Plessis has gone, - I know that he has not scored well for some time but he has grown up with de Villiers and they know each other well.

Cape Town will be interesting as I think SA have only lost once there since re-admission
 
Only two more to go and ive got to get out and unload the truck !
 
England have played well but I am surprised how bad S Africa were and how their captain keeps his job ........ (after their 2015 performances) .. they cannot carry on playing so badly .... it is just unacceptable for a S African team, especially playing at "home"

Cape Town will be really interesting .. with at least 10,000 Brits being forecast to be there

England seemed to have a good day(s) .......... 8 down so far ........ Jonny Bairstow gets 6 so far

next in for SA

"That wicket brings Hardus Viljoen to the crease. He's a monster of a man"

"Look at the size of Viljoen. If he gets hold of one, this ground will not be big enough for him."

but of course England have to bat and we know anything could happen and apparently over 300 is very difficult to get on the Joberg wicket

313 all out

England now in - I reckon that they may be in trouble today, even with the inexperience SA fast bowling attack
 
Got a bad feeling about this game...... On the whole I think England have played well this series and probably deserve a series win.

I hope I'm proved wrong but I think this pitch will be more useful to SA

27 for 2 - Bloody Cooke does his Bloody usual - it is a good job there are a few Yorkshire players in the side, OK I know about Hales .. but as someone said he diverts attention from Bloody Cooke

England "age" me every test they play these days

Root and Stokes

Love this quote from TMS

"No, no, no! Almost an absolute calamity for England. Ben Stokes wants a single, Joe Root sends him back. Stokes turns like the QEII, dives and make his ground as Dane Vilas drops the ball. It probably needed a direct hit. Stokes stares as Root, the look of a man who has found Joe chatting up his girlfriend"
 
Fascinating game, at the moment it's still not clear who's got their head in front, although you'd have to say SA have still got runs in hand so I'd rather be in the SA camp right now.

They all are now that England has got almost a unique middle order going into the tail ...... batting and ...... bowling as well
 
2 wickets this morning 279 for 7 still 30 odd behind ............. England ...... just stop doing this
 
Ive got it on now with my laptop on my knee. Good test so far this one, can only see another draw though.

England have to stuff SA this afternoon .. simple as that ........ you cannot trust England batting last

To me this is all about "Is Cooke a good enough Captain to win this Test Match and indeed the series"

I appreciate his past record as being a great run scorer .. but now he is just "flaky" when it counts, IMHO

He has got a very good group of English players around him

I think Cooke has got better as a captain and if they can hold their catches and get a bowler to have one of those dramatic spells....oh, wait a minute.
This will be finished tonight.
 
TMS? I had look it up:

"Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive method used to stimulate small regions of the brain. During a TMS procedure, a magnetic field generator, or "coil", is placed near the head of the person receiving the treatment. "

Which, coincidentally is similar to the main TMS. The Munsters Series.

I'd be in South Africa next week ...........Sh1t
 
What a game and what a result!

Another match winning spell from Broad but also backed up by the rest of the attack keeping the pressure on and chipping in with wickets too.

Top order held their nerve although Hales & Compton will be kicking themselves after they got themselves out!
