Its now three times that England have managed to survive with the final wicket and twice its happened in SA. SA had one bad day and they are 1-0 down while England have hung on by thread in two matches. Hope the rains stops at Jo'burg. It would be criminal if Eng wins the series by way of that match getting washed out. Aghh...this is hurts even cause its England. Anyone but the Poms.. Even Australia is manageable. Why cant the English collapse a bit earlier instead of in the last hour?! Can't fault the SA effort though. They did their best. It was just not their day.

Hello Pseudos! Long time to see you! Well, England fought really hard in these two matches. They have found two valuable players, Swan and Broad who are as good in batting as in bowling. Colly too is doing a great job for them. It would be fun had flintof been fit.

It isn't really surprising. Onions has shown he isn't just a pungent vegetable but a man with some real balls. He is such a good bowler and has now almost won a series for England. Let anyone be selected the Man of the Series by officials. Strauss knows who his man is! It is guts like this maketh a Man

England have fought hard no doubt but they are clearly not the better side. SA paid the price for an hour of madness at Durban. England have avoided being 2-1 down by luck. Onions did well. I m not taking anything from him but on other occasions he may have fallen.

Well, I was hoping the same in Aus Pak match. But Pakis failed badly to beat Aussies in match they were on top for most of the time.
