Yea another 15 mins and NZ would have won.
Bring on the 20/20 there will be two McCullums in the team too with Brendon's brother Nathan playing for Patel Kyle Mills is off home with an injury and Brendon Diamanti might get another run

man that was a close game. i think it should be put not down to brackens brilliance, but the fact that elliot LOST the kiwis the game. he was shit!!!!! how many deliveries would he try and slog and totally mis? if you're in shit form, just hit a single, dont waste 5 deliveries by swinging and missing! ggrrrrr!

haha, yeah steve, why couldnt that have been elliot for that catch! I guess he;'d ahve to hit the ball first but the voges catch was one of those things that you've been thinking why players dont do it for years when they are close to the boundary.. but voges did it brilliantly, especially after tripping on the boundary... padding stuff. |

Yeah i've only ever seen it done once before - Andy Bichel on the rope, and he actually tossed it behind his back while falling over the rope. I think that was in State/Club cricket though.

i do like the referral system that they're doing. BUT common south africa, the reason its not going to work for you is because you ask for it when it is clearly not out... and you loose the chance to use them again.... hmmm silly south africans.
watching day 3 right now. siddle was good to get rid of steyn and ntini in 3 balls of the 1st over of the day haha.

BREAKING NEWS: ENGLAND superstar Andy Flintoff is set to announce his retirement from Test cricket in the next few hours.
The injury-riddled England talisman is expected to announce he wants to play until the end of the Ashes and then quit the five-day game.
The man they call "Fred" will toss in his Test cap to preserve his battered body for one-dayers and Twenty 20 matches.
The 31-year-old may be eyeing off the 2011 World Cup and wants to keep his lucrative Indian Premier League contact with Chennai.
It is major news on the eve of the second Test at Lord's.
Flintoff was the star of the 2005 Ashes but his body has continually let him down in recent years.
After recently returning from knee surgery, his knee problem has flared up again and he is in doubt to play the second Test with Steve Harmison on standby.
Flintoff, 31, has played 76 Tests, scoring 3708 runs at 31.69 and taking 219 wickets at 32.51.

wow... what a loser. he's just going to give up... he's still "young" in cricketing years... yes he gets injured a lot... but yeh... this seems like he's just giving up... and in it for the money for the other formats.
