I was reading about it long after I'd got mine back. Guessed it wasn't just me when their phone numbers weren't working. At least reasonably brief

The pitch was just so slow and low bouncing the pace didn't trouble them. Kapp looked even more grumpy than usual after a couple of overs. Fair play, they had a plan, dug in and it almost worked. Probably a bit spoilt after yesterday's epic

I had them on too. Steve Finn has taken really well to it

Must admit I turned off the Bangladesh innings this morning as it was so painfully slow. 45 overs of red ball cricket and then a thrash but it nearly worked for them. But if ever SA are in trouble, you ain't seen Nadine yet (© Cricinfo). Absolute star!

Yikes! Just had a bit of an outage on my broadband and phone data. Cut off from the world and bereft I was! Annoying not to be able to watch the cricket but the good old digital wireless came to the rescue. Looks like that nice Ronan Kemp has fixed it all now... 😀 #VodaphoneDown

I know, but it doesn't feel half as dated as some things from the 80s only a few years before. Guess the mid 90s were a real turning point for tv
