England v Saffers

[Jayesh87]

KP's era begins with a dropped catch of the very first ball...i do hope that's not a nasty omen for the rest of his captaincy to come.

C'mon Harmy!!!!

Who dropped it?

[Shaggy]

Welcome back Harmy

Cook dropped the catch, Milky.

[Jayesh87]

Harmy

Long overdue recall, and he's making hay! Eat that Colemere!

4 down now!!

[Jayesh87]

6 down.

[Pacman]

Anderson in this form is unplayable.

Loving this from the lads, Kev's first day is going great.

[dww]

Fair play to KP. Seems to have been doing a good job.

I think the 5 bowlers was the right way to go but you can't help feeling that the fact that SA have already won the series and the conditions seem conducive to swing has helped a great deal.

I'm glad, i heard his interview this morning before the game, and he was so laid back, could hardly remember which bowlers he was starting with, it was like he'd gone to bed and forgot he was captain, then woke up and had a camera & mic shoved in his face, it was a case of 'Bowlers, hmm bowlers...errrrrrrrrr hmmmmmmmm erm...ah...HARMY aaaaaaaaaaaaand........erm JIMMY.

Speaking on the game, when asked how he hoped it would go, he came across as though it was no big deal, sort of....'ah well we'll see how it go's, if it go's well that'll be just great, if not, well never mind eh', or words to that effect. ..

Great day for England

Why didnt this team start the series?

[Shaggy]

Why wasn't Harmison brought back in much, much earlier?

He was asked to go back to County cricket to get overs under his belt and take wickets.

He did that, and at around 90mph too.

So why wait so long?

I've been advocating his recall and he's come up with the goods. WHAT a ****ing ball that was to Amla today. What a ball.

Credit to Anderson too who bowled some brilliant, brilliant stuff.

What with Harmy and Jimmy ripping through the South Africans, Colemere must've been watching through his fingers.
