Cricinfo has frozen up at 10.5 overs. Very frustrating!

I thought he was going to storm off the pitch when he was forced to take the new ball!!! Classic!!

Interesting game this one, Strauss fails in the second innings and Kallis falls 1st ball,
Gibbs, and Vaughan come back into form.
Good that Harmison is looking a bit more like, Tres was an absolute star yesterday and today, still think we may have been better playing Collingwood or Bell in this one mind, both bat well and some decent little dobbly ones in an overcast atmosphere may have been very usefull.

He has had to reign himself in today, mostly likely cause of that Calf injury, and actually was a lot better for it. Definatly had more rythmn and accuracy.

Oh, great. Cricinfo recovered for a while, and has now gone back to 10.5 overs where it is frozen again. What's happening, folks? Have we won yet?

59-3

Anderson and Flintoff bowling,

Gibbs batting well. Should have been out LBW though, got a lucky one

no you aint won yet. OF. why not try this website. www.espnstar.com

on the main page, on the right they have a little box with 'live of the tube'. just click on there. i find the updates fast, with a very nice, easy to see layout. very informative. although they dont have a ball by ball script like cricinfo you HAVE TO TRY the flash scorecard! brilliant! you can check out all the wagon wheels on a players innings, etc etc. very good.

check it out

Thanks, guys! And thanks, RD1 for the lead to espn. I'll have a look. Something generally fishy going on in the local computer environment at the moment - everything slower than molasses. Time for a risky re-boot. If you hear an outraged scream from the east, that's me unable to get back on to the information super-highway.

I am logging on at school between pupils and am wishing I had this afternoon off as it's now getting even more exciting.
Get Gibbs out soon!
