Oh dear. So Collingwood and Bell to defend for hours and the tail to wag? Not sure we will even get 100.

And now the referral umpire misses a no-ball and gives the wrong decision.

Harper is a joke, he made about 3 or 4 dodgy decisions in the third test which got overhauled by the referrel system, and then they stick him on referrel duty and he still cocks it up! the man needs to retire!!!!

A couple of times this series SA have scored big runs on a wicket that we'd made poor scores on. We need to bowl SA out for about 230-250 to have a chance.
Houds, quick...... What's the vBetting SA score 400+?

SA captain Smith just caught and not given reviewed to third umpire and called not out.
They are now saying that the third umpire didn't get the sound with pictures which means he shouldn't have made a decision, that said the third umpire is Daryl Harper who according to Jack Bannister last week is the worst test umpire he's ever seen in the game.

Today showed the reason why I hate this referall bullshit. How can they not have 'snicko' or 'hot spot' available as the SA TV company said it was too expensive? Yet still run the referall system?
Absolute bullshit, it was only a matter of time until something like this happened.
Mind you, if we hadn't batted like twats in the 1st dig we might not be moaning about it.

Pak got from 90-4 up to 300 a.o. (they're still gonna get dicked, barring a thouroughly unpakistani rearguard)
For england once the bell/colly partnership was snapped you knew the total was gonna be puny. bit sad how often eng fans find themselves hoping for rain.

TBH I haven't used cricinfo, I use the BBC though, even have the odd comment published......
bbc is entertaining but i really like the ball by ball style of cricinfo and the way you can see at a glance the last few overs like a cricket scorebook:
. . . W . . | . . . . . 4 | 4 1nb . . 5nb 1lb . . | W . 1 . . .
taken from this match
eng tw odown already after SA's declaration

I'll check it out next time England play.
Seeing as they are in the spotlight right now, who do people rate as Umpires?
I think Aleem dar is one of the best at the moment.

Aleem Dar is a good umpire, and I actually think Billy Bowden is also good. Harper is one of the worst.
