			England lose their top three cheaply as they make an increasingly shaky start in reply to South Africa's 309.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/19291164 
Not the start we wanted.

			Wow, just found a cricket thread...YAY!!!     
Have skipped right to here and not read the other posts. Looking forward to the next three days, should be excellent cricket. Both teams with all to play for and we (England) need to show we can fight back and win when we absolutely have to. Well done to Bell and especially Bairstow. Great effort. 
 
Gonna take some stick from my saffer friend if they beat us though. Whilst I can be humble about being no.1, he won't be   |

			That was test cricket at its best, even though we lost. Should have been a 5 match series...

			South Africa beat England by 80 runs in second ODI to go top of the one-day rankings.http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012...ort?CMP=twt_gu 
Disappointing to say the least.
