First innings didn't last long this morning...269 all out. Aggers reckons it's 100 runs short on that pitch. I reckon he's being kind.

To make matters worse, Buttler keeping who's acknowledged he's in poor form and already let one go for 4.

40 for 3 before lunch with Anderson getting Faf.

Broad gets Van der Dussen but no, its a massive No Ball just what England need.

well well, 207 for 7 quite a come back so 269 not looking bad.

215 for 8 at the close so still 54 behind England and three for Jimmy, 4 for 24 since Tea

Looks better than it did at tea, that's for sure. How many can the sa tail put on today?

Competition was so good in the Aus. v NZ test, I binge watched the 6th season of Vikings instead of watching the cricket ....

Bit dull eh Wally

In other news SA v Eng, SA all out for 223 still 46 behind Eng. Jimmy gets a 5 for and is now just 18 wickets off 600 test wickets...what a bloke. 5 catches for Stokes too.

^ Sounds like you have a test match on your hands. Lucky for you!

Bit dull eh Wally

Pretty much a repeat of the first 2 drubbings.

Yeah, no one but footie fans like to see one sided games.

Groundhog Day as NZ crumble in their 2nd innings chase of 400'ish...

Australia

First innings 454 all out

Second innings 217 - for 2 wickets dec

New Zealand First innings 256 all out
Second innings 22 - for 3 wickets (10.5overs)

New Zealand need 394 runs to win

Phillips goes for a duck.

Lyon has 2 wickets for 0 runs.

NZ 4/22

^Is that the same Lyon (with a 5-fa in the 1st innings) that dickhead Warne wanted to sit this Test out .

^ the one and only. Warne said that? He does talk a lot of shit. Who did he want to bowl spin instead of The Lyon?

That he does mate. I cannot stand listening to him

Some young guy I've never heard of, but it'll come as no surprise to you that Warne's been mentoring him . Regardless, you simply could not leave Lyon out of the team, and he fired a shot back at Warne by suggesting he wouldn't have wanted to be left out of the Australian team to give McGill a run..

^ Good come back from Lyon. Of course Warne would not have wanted to be rested when he was playing.

We all know he is a dickhead - but he is about to raise a lot of money for the fire victims by auctioning his baggy green. This will go for huge money..


Shane Warne to auction off baggy green cap in bushfire fundraiser

Aussie cricket legend Shane Warne will auction off his baggy green to help support bushfire victims.

Source: News Limited

Australian cricket legend Shane Warne has made his baggy green cap available for auction in an incredible gesture to raise funds for the Bushfire Appeal aiding those affected by the devastating fires across Australia.

The baggy green is a prized possession for any Test cricketer and the King of Spin’s is among the most famous in cricket. Warne wore the cap throughout his 145-match Test career for Australia in which he took 708 wickets.
The cap is expected to fetch a huge amount and the top bid was already into five figures less than an hour after bidding began on Monday afternoon, with the auction website experiencing problems due to high demand.

^I'd still be highly wary of this scaly cvnt suddenly becoming a philanthropist. He had a charity before called the Shane Warne Foundation that he shut down as the accusations and investigations started. It was ran by his brother who was on a salary of something like 400k a year, and things only got worse from there when it came to questions along the lines of *where's the money that's been raised gone*. Nah fuck him, he's a piece of shit.

BULLSHITE ... that cap, in the photo looks straight out of plastic bag.

NZ are 5/92, chasing 416 or batting out 4 Sessions

Watling is 11 off 89!

The other 9 KIWIS not batting are out back doing a rain dance

So far in Cape Town it’s the skill and experience of Anderson and Broad that has been the real difference between the sides.

Interesting day in store seeing if England can get into a position to wrap this up.

And yeah, Warne’s behaviour with ‘charities’ has already shown his roots.

Numbers don’t tell you everything, Wally. The lad has the talent and the cojones to be an all time great.

It takes more than a few stand out performances and cojones to be an all time great. Remember James Faulkner? He won matches for Australia in the same fashion as Stokes and was taking wickets too - we thought we found our new allrounder. But he got injured then fizzled out. Don't get me wrong, I think Stokes is a very good player but he still needs to stand the test of time.



Gee you guys really hate Warne - can't help but feel that a lot of the animosity is because he was so good. I agree he is a Wanker - but he is doing a good thing by donating the baggy green - and that photo of it is from many years ago David. But hey, it's just a hat he was given which didn't cost him a cent. You can bet he will be baking in the publicity the act will bring him.

to be fair it’s not like he can just get another to replace it.

cashed up bogan yes, but a generous act nonetheless.

credit where due.

Had to laugh at that.

The comments about Warne were focussed on his record of honesty regarding charities. HW highlighted a very dodgy story that was never satisfactorily resolved and won’t be forgotten by sensible judges.

He should be trusted about as far as he could be thrown.
