    Bad timing & letting your team mates down Graham. You're losing and you want to stop. Poor show should have seen the next two out and then retired.
    It gives Monty a chance. I like Monty.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      It's not often that I say this, but I agree with MF.

        Really bad form to do that. I don't believe it had anything to do with his arm struggling on the second innings, he just wanted to head home for the holidays.

            South Africa set 458 to win on fourth innings, reach 402 for 4, 15 over left to go!! Now 411 for 6 with about 12 overs left. Fantastic test match.

              Watching it play out, even for a draw is a great end to this match.

                After one decent day yesterday, normal service has been resumed. Expect Australia to chase this down and win by 6 or 7 wickets to take a 4-0 lead.

                  Watched the play from 2.30 to finish this morning. All full of hope and then some of the dumbest play I've ever seen in a test match. The tail is appalling.

                      I've been watching through the night most of the series, sleeping for a bit then watching a bit etc. but after last nights performance they can get ****ed I am not wasting my sleep time for that kind of performance.

                      Flat pitch, first innings lead, the game for the taking.....4 of the wickets were complete giveaways and 5 ducks in the innings FFS!
