Anyone watching this?
Be good to see SA level the series to make the game on Sunday at the SWALEC the decider.
England should have made it comfortably but SA have got back in it.
22 required off 14 balls

Poor form from young MacAdder. He is no Henry Blofeld. As it happened I had no idea of the result so found it entertaining scrolling down this thread to find out the result. I am easily pleased.Quote:

Cheers for the feedback Bloop & Pearcey, I shall take your comments on board :thumbup:
I hear Blowers is finally bowing out of commentary this year so looks like there could be a vacancy. Unfortunately I fear my lack of both public school education & posh accent and, well just being welsh, will scupper my chances.
Yeah that Livingstone (Nick), I presume, was in fact a double agent, apparently having ancestral connections in Africa :shrug:
Just been offered tickets for Sunday's decider. If I decide to go it'll probably the only T20 game I will bother going to this year as I can take or leave this form of cricket. I certainly wouldn't be travelling any distance to watch Glammy in a T20 that's for sure but kudos to you sir.
Roy was never out
Hmmm... know what you mean.Quote:

Although it looked like he was watching the fielder all the way and swapped sides of the pitch to block the throw.
The decision definitely turned the game.
What a great finish! This is what T20 is all about. Really looking forward to Sunday
Seen batsman do that stacks of times and never be given out - Roy would have got a bollocking off the coaching staff if he hadn't done it.Quote:

Agreed.Quote:

It might be, but it's like the six second rule with keepers, it's barely ever applied - I've seen stacks of batsmen not given out since 2013 for doing what Roy didQuote:
