Re: South Africa in England
Harper proved once again he is the worlds worst umpire, even worse than Bucknor
Although the more shocking decision was Ambrose and Anderson not even hearing an obvious edge and Smith getting a life, although Billy probably wouldnt have given it

Re: South Africa in England
Monty doesn't help himself though.
Constantly appealing when it's clearly not out.
The umpires aren't going to take too kindly to it, and when it's actually out they'll just think he's going off on another one of his appeals.

Re: South Africa in England
Slow going on day four. South Africa have really shut up shop, only scoring whenever they absolutely have to.
They've moved to 1/234, Graeme Smith is the out batsman but scored a 100 in doing so. He went on to make 107 before a mistimed pull shot off Jimmy Anderson was caught by KP at backward point. Neil McKenzie has made an agonising 100 off 307 balls but it's been an important innings as he and Smith have put South Africa in a position to force the draw. It's probably one of McKenzie's msot crucial centuries in his test career, Hashim Amla is up to 14 not out, he has looked okay so far but he's given the English fielders a few near misses.
Interestingly, South Africa have faced 90 overs in their second innings at the moment, they could only bat for 93.3 overs in their first innings. What a difference some determination makes.
23 minutes remaining in the day so we won't fit in the last 12 overs to be bowled. South Africa still trail by 112. If they can reduce the lead to less than 100 by the end of the day, they should be pretty happy with their efforts.
