Day 5, 4th Test - SA Vs Eng - Johannesburg

[Richie Benauds Love Child]

If smith does bat he might be advised to wear two helmets because I'd reckopn freddie will be banging down short stuff 5 balls out of 6.

Apparently, Vaughneyo has dropped Boje - a simple catch so says the BBC - any comments? Did he have one chip butty too many at tea?

6 for Hoggy!!!

Andy,

Poor miss by Vaughnie, got his hands in the wrong position and it was just messy.

[Mike_Hock]

Vaughan really needs to work on his catching. Luckily it didn't cost us much as Boje falls to Hoggy next over C&B.

Smith comes to the crease.

Smith and Gibbs batting don't these guys average over 70 when batting together?

Two openers in now...

Freddie didn't come out after tea according to Cricinfo. Is he on the field now?

The big question now (and this depends solely on the result in presume), who will be MOM?

Gibbs, Hoggard or Trescothick?????

They do, but Gibbs already has more than seventy, so he can just go any time now as far as I am concerned.

I was thinking of that a moment ago, and to be honest, it's tough on Trescothick and Gibbs, because both have put in great performances, but there's no way that the MOM award will not go to a man who has taken eleven wickets (and who hopefully will have fifteen before the game is over).
