Great test match - really even and brilliant finish. Ben Stokes has got to be up there in the world in terms of coming up with the goods when it matters. Still think we are struggling to find the right test team though. South Africa have got a really poor record in the last dozen test matches - and...

Macclesfield are to appeal against their points deduction

They might as well,Bolton have taken liberties for months now,and can seemingly do as they please,what a farce the EFL has become.

Strange decision by Root not to declare at lunch surely 420 was enough of a lead,tough with the ball for England,but SA don't have a lot of batting to come after Du Plessis,couple of early wickets in the morning,and victory should assured by mid-afternoon,the :?: remains is this a one-off from this ...

Decent draw considering,home tie and it's eminently winnable.

Any BFC success should be applauded,whether it's the 1st team,under23's,youth team,or in this case the women,well done ladies best of luck in the draw,and who knows they may yet go further in this competition.

tiger76

Agree with that - and I would have been happy to see Jay start with Richardson. I know he may not be quite ready yet but at least unlike Vydra he is playing and scoring for the u23s and for me he is far more the future than Vydra who will know himself now that it’s unlikely this club is his future....

Nahki Wells's contract is up in the Summer, he can go anywhere with no fee, but get himself a nice signing on fee or enhanced wages ... If we can get a fee for him in this window, then all well and good, but I suspect it'll be negligible. Joe Hart is again out of contract in the Summer ..... If we ...

England's best day overseas for a long time,all the top 4 made contributions,but yes the standout was Sibley,hope he can complete his ton in the morning,he deserves it for his application alone,Root made runs again,shame about the 2 late wickets,but i'm sure England would have accepted a 250+lead,an...

tiger76

Denly gone for 31,good effort but again he didn't go on,that Sibley/Denly partnership has put England in the box seat though,lead of almost 150 and they should be aiming to double that at least. I'd tend to agree about Archer he's looked jaded the whole winter,and if England are going to get the bes...

How much is our bench worth £35m? Yes a Burnley FC bench is worth around £35m. And the majority of that £35m doesn't get a game That's a lot of money spunked no matter which way you look at it. Plus wages to pay for collecting splinters in their a**es,obviously we need a squad,the problem is either...

tiger76

How can our wage bill be so high? our players can barely pass a football. I think we need a major clear out but seemingly don’t have the cash available to do so. Ageing assets losing value as the days go by, big signings not getting game time, injury prone wide players and players stealing a living...

tiger76

52-1 at lunch,definitely England's session,lead's nearly 100,that's a lot with 9 wickets in the hutch,hope Sibley can go on this afternoon and notch his first test match 50 at least,he's had a few starts over this winter,but hasn't managed to make a major score yet. What's too many for the Boks to c...

Firstly, I’ll just put it out there straight away that I think, if Ashley Barnes struggling with his groin, as much as I’d being suggested, then right now is the time he should have his operation to get it sorted. I’m a huge advocate of the Wood-Barnes partnership, but right now, a break is needed....

tiger76

We certainly won't be on last,surely that'll be the Wolves-Man Utd snoozefest.

Maybe we should have someone from Carlsberg trying to sell beer to kids when their parents backs are turned? Think of the extra cash we could make. It is curious how society changes,it wasn't that long ago that alcohol and tobacco products dominated the advertising market,now it's the gambling indu...

Rocket strikes at US targets in the Middle East,to be expected i suppose,Iran have to be seen to respond at the very least,if for no other reason then keeping their domestic audience onside.

tiger76

Perhaps but they'll put the shocks on 1st,so my guess is Rochdale,Tranmere,Sheffield Wed and Fulham games will be near the top of the schedule,

tiger76

Yes a good day ultimately for england,need to knock these last couple over early tomorrow,and then somehow bat for the whole day,it was looking grim during the Elgar/VDD partnership,but one false shot from Elgar and SA collapse just as easily as England,the 35 runs Pope and Anderson added for the fi...

Good heavens we win a game that contains 6 goals and still people find something to moan about,yes we got an injury to JBG,but he could just as easily got injured next week at Chelsea,sadly he seems to made of china and he can't manage to get a run of games to get up to match fitness,that's probably...

tiger76

Blimey we might even get a lead here,2 poor batting line-up's though,i'll be surprised if this lasts until day 5.

tiger76

198-5 De Kock gifted England his wicket,England hanging in by the skin of their teeth,need to finish off the lower order quickly now,as the lead's only 70.

tiger76

183-4 Elgar had a mad moment and holed out for 88,but still South Africa's day so far,12 overs until the new ball,and that has to pay big dividends for England,or this game will start slipping away,Jimmy's bpwled well today for little reward,but the attack looks powderpuff on this surface.

Who do you fancy next round?

One of the lower division teams at home for me,League 1 or below would do nicely,let's try and have a cup run for once.

Peterborough fans singing "we're gonna win 4-3". Love it! Bloomin hope not,but any more shockers by Lowton,and who knows.Shame hoped we'd have kept a clean sheet today.We keep making basic errors no matter who the opponents happen to be,that's fatal in any match,it shouldn't cost us today,but it's a...

Super Burnley

I know it’s vs a League One team but nice to see us playing well

UTC

Shows the value of picking a strong side,yes they're a League One team but we've been impressive and clinical,just the confidence boost we needed after a tough few weeks.

tiger76

Great start just what the doctor ordered,need to kill this off by HT,and then we can give Koiki some 1st team minutes in the latter stages,see if he can impress.

tiger76

So the runners & riders declared so far. Emily Thornberry Clive Lewis Jess Phillips Lisa Nandy Keir Starmer & Rebecca-Long-Bailey expected to announce they're standing soon. Apart from Nandy & Phillips all the others have a link to the failed Corbyn project,and all the baggage that this entails,i su...

Why are the umpires not doing their job,it's only when a wicket falls that the no-ball is flagged up,it's not like they're marginal VAR type calls either,the bowlers are overstepping by a long way.

Should be 80/4 but Broad balls no ball for the wicket....

Hope that isnt costly

That's unforgivable at test level,and not the 1st time in this match either.

tiger76

If this forum is anything to go by on getting a good view of the general belief and opinion then there is some real unrest amongst the supporters. A few more lacklustre defeats with another unsuccessful window and unfortunately the crowd will turn. This will be at the worst possible time , we need ...

Just seen the line-up 2-0 to the Clarets,with hopefully a convincing display.

tiger76

It's kind of like the Board (and the manager to some extent) are taking a very 'Premier League' viewpoint that the fans don't really matter. They know where the money comes from and the only remit is to cling onto the gravy train. I was pretty surprised in Dyche's interview following the Villa game...

tiger76

The downside for Villa is the injuries to Heaton,McGinn and Wesley,the upside for them is they have the window to sign replacements,if these injuries had happened a month down the line,it would have hit them much harder,but the way Dean Smith is talking they will move quickly in the market. I can't ...

Let's just thank our lucky stars we didn't commit to a season long loan,or worse still buy Drinkwater outright,that said we do need a replacement in midfield,we currently only have Cork,Hendrick and Westwood as viable cm's,and as Marney's injury should tell us we're tempting fate if we don't strengt...

It's happened to me a couple of times recently,usually i just reboot my computer/router and it's ok,i've no idea why it occurs seems random.

tiger76

Yet another disappointing day with the bat,6 of the top 7 got in,and once again nobody went big,i hope to be proved wrong but i fear SA will post 400+ when they bat,the one shining light is Ollie Pope showing his potential again after his runs in NZ.

tiger76

Not really following it all to be honest but Hillary Benn's name seems conspicuous by its absence in all this. Far too moderate for the Labour membership,he's also getting on in years,66 now so by the time of the next election he'll be in his 70's,he's alsp an avid remainer so i don't see how he co...

What a terrible shot from Denly

It was and after doing the hard work in seeing off the new ball and getting set,he threw it all away again.

tiger76

Same old story from England,3 guys get starts,Sibley,Root and Denly,and then find various ways of getting out,win the toss on this and you should be looking to bat for most of the first 2 days and amass 450-500,but this is clearly beyond this current England side. I see Bairstow's finally been dropp...

tiger76

If you were going to pick one of the batsman England didn't want to lose,Burns would be close to the top of the list,Archer's a major doubt,while Wood & Leach are ruled out,it's not been a great winter to say the least.

tiger76

Eye but neither utd or villa had to break sweat as they were both leading,they could just sit off and sit behind the ball That's true why we don't start games with a purpose i can't explain,we seem to have to go behind before there's a reaction,and with our lack of firepower just now it's hardly su...

tiger76

A sensible post some of the recent critcism is justified,but there has also been an over-reaction,one poster claiming Dyche is the worst manager we've ever had being a notable example,if BFC is going to cement another PL season we all have to pull in the same direction,equally the players and manage...

tiger76

Yesterday's defeat has made the task much harder,but we're still above the relegation zone,and crucially still have our fate in our own hands,that said we'll have to pull an iron or two out of the fire,otherwise it could well go right down to the wire with thiose last 2 games.

tiger76

2-0 City Jesus quickfire double,the top 3 are pulling away now.

tiger76

I'd make today's lot earn their wage. My thought's exactly,they owe the fans a performance after that fare,and going out of the cup limply to a League 1 side wouldn't improve the fans mindset,if we can't go out and boss the game at home to a team 2 tiers below us,then questions really do have to be...
