But - nick out one or two and suddenly tomorow becomes a tricky day.. I think it was a good postive captaincy and the right thing to do..

Thing is I have not seen players get out in the odd 8 overs or so very often, to me after it seemed like an England defeat, I would have rubbed South Africas nose in it.

Jones drops a catch, Gibbs TELLS umpire he is not out.

A defeat now, would be unthinkable.

Coll's on for Thorpe, who is having a rest...

Yes, but is shows the mind-set of the England team... and it is that they want to win

Smith out - come on England!!!

But Ern matey - Vaughans gamble has already worked! Were it not for a drop by the bloody keeper SA would have lost one of thier lead bats!

Catches win matches. In the highly unlikely event of SA pulling this out of the fire, that drop will have lost one.

And GC Smith goes!

Great work by the Hogster!

Point taken, I have forgot who Jones dropped Smith or Gibbs.
