StuartFraser/BallByBallQuotes

 48.1 Katich to Bell, FOUR, tossed up juicy full toss, much like this
        man's nickname KitKat?, that was coated in chocolate and wrapped in
        silver foil, smashed back past mid-off for four!
 76.5 Kasprowicz to GO Jones, FOUR, like an obese midget, too short and
        too wide, Jones sees it early and cuts with power to the cover-
        point fence
 9.2 Hoggard to Hayden, no run, fullish and far outside the off again,
        Hayden looks at that with all the interest of a vegetarian in a
        meat market and leaves it alone

 155.6 Mahmood to Kulasekara, no run, short rising delivery outside the 
        off stump, Kulasekara needlessly goes after it and gets beaten 
        by a long way, actually it's a safe shot as - who is going to  
        catch it?  

 150.6 Umar Gul to Bell, 1 wide, quicker bouncer, oh, it’s called a wide. 
       Bit unfair really, mind you, it was miles above his head and threatening 
       to down a pigeon. “Gul downs a pigeon,” might be the headline (sorry)  
 10.3  Hoggard to Ponting, no run, Ponting's offering bigger leaves here than 
       genetically-modified trees with too much growth hormone

 36.2 Borden to Sangakkara, no run, flat outside off stump, Jayawardene uses the 
      feet well and drives past mid-off for one more, this is very easy batting

 31.6  	Azhar Mahmood to KJ O'Brien, no run, short, into the batsman's nether regions 
        and the ball (red one) drops down at his feet and a quick call of "no" from the 
        non striker
 8.5    Pollock to Haq, no run, CRACK! Another four. Slightly shot again and Haq stands
        back and swivels it behind square. It was a short-arm jab and raced away to the 
        fence. Assertive start this from Scotland. Stark contrast to their batting against 
        Australia 
 15.6    Onyango to Taylor, FOUR, too much width on off and that's lamped - not with a     
        lamp, but with a bat - off the back foot, low, with a lovely, thumping cut  
 22.4  	Collingwood to Obuya, no run, super slower ball there, but it's read by the  
        batsman who closes the book and switches off the light
 23.1   Hogg to Sarwan, 2 runs, full - and wide - allowing Sarwan to go down on one knee, 
        propose to the ball, before smashing it wide of cover  
 35.6	Muralitharan to Samuels, OUT, that's straight, very straight, and the umpire needs no time to give that 
        one out. Neither do all three armchair umpires in our office, who instantly trigger their fingers, too;
        well, it was plumber than a plum pudding that's had extra plums wodged in there
 31.5  	Collingwood to Tharanga, 1 run, Bell misfields at extra cover, a regulation stop, but he hashes the long 
        barrier and they eek a single
 34.6  	Flintoff to Silva, 1 leg bye, attempted inswinging yorker first ball to Silva, but that's a low full toss 
        and the England team forget their consonants in their Oooaaaa appeal; it was straying down leg
 36.5 	Flintoff to Jayawardene, no run, squares him up with a jaffa that would be up for Citrus Fruit of the 
        Year, a lovely juicy specimen, just flouncing past the outside edge as the batsman leaps back
 49.6  	Mahmood to Fernando, 1 run, OUT, all out! slower ball, swung away through midwicket...Pietersen fields in 
        the deep and his throw catches Fernando short as Nixon breaks the stumps
	CRD Fernando not out 1 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

 4.6    Collymore to de Villiers, no run, de Villiers walks into this defensive stroke, 
        presenting the full face of the moon, and the bat, to the bowler  

 30.5  	Pollard to de Villiers, FOUR, sprayed fine down leg and that's worked very fine through fine leg 
 for a fine four (any more fines and you're fined - Ed)
 22.3  	Collingwood to Mashrafe Mortaza, no run, that one swings away past the righthander's deadly flashing blade
 And now I've got the Blackadder theme tune in my head  
 25.3 Bopara to Saqibul Hasan, no run, comes forward and looks to attack on the front 
      foot, but ends up playing the opposite shot. A Saqibul defence if you will.  
 11.5 Langeveldt to Vaughan, 1 run, short of a length, Vaughan is up on his toes like a 
      ballerina on acid, punching it into the covers and they race through for a single  
 11.6 Langeveldt to Strauss, no run, excellent delivery swinging into off stump, but very 
      well played by Strauss who digs it out with impressive cleanliness and timing  
 Cleanliness? Well, I know what I mean even if you don't.

 14.6 Nel to Pietersen, no run, good comeback from Nel. It's always great watching him 
      bowl - like a rhino on rollerskates, he really races up to the crease. This is on 
      off stump and defended  
 14 overs remaining. South Africa really should be looking to close this out sharpish, mainly 
 because I am absolutely dying for a cup of tea and something to eat
 30.5 McGrath? to Nel, no run, outside off, short, and Nel gamely has a slash at that one 
      off the back foot, looking to send it to Row Z over covers. It doesn't even make 
      blade of grass A off the wicket, as he misses it completely  

 13.5 Collymore to Cook, no run, eases it outside off, too wide to be of interest, and the 
 keeper sidesteps over like a Space Invader doing aerobics, to clutch it tidily  
 53.1 Bravo to Pietersen, no run, comes forward, defends as solidly as the gravy that went 
 wrong when making dinner last night  

 31.2  	Bravo to Yardy, no run, Yardy drives to nowhere and abandons the car in a field
 34.3  	Bravo to Yardy, 2 runs, slightly less beautiful shot from Yardy though - a furious slap through midwicket, 
        wielding his bat like a middle-aged banker wheeling out his lawnmower for the first mow of the season

 70.6 Tendulkar to Pietersen, FOUR, takes the edge this time, but along the ground and past slip...the dive from Dinesh 
      Karthik on the third man boundary is in vein  

 103.1 Kumble to Bell, FOUR, driven off the back foot gently to extra cover who for reasons best known to himself hurls
       the ball at the bowler's-end stumps and it's four overthrows 
 Kumble looks ready to murder someone.
 103.2 Kumble to Bell, 4 runs, Bell takes a step or two and clips that through midwicket, Ganguly has to chase after it 
       and he's not as young as he used to be and that allows them to run the four
 Kumble fumes for a second time while Ganguly puffs ... a lot 
 103.3 Kumble to Bell, FOUR, down the leg side and Bell sweeps ever-so-finely and it's a third four  
 Kumble approaches a state of near apoplexy. 
 103.4 Kumble to Bell, FOUR, full and a super on drive through wide midwicket
 Oh dear ... words cannot do justice to the stares Kumble is giving everyone and anyone ... fielders, umpires, batsmen, children  

 29.5 Hinds to Pietersen, 1 run, on middle-and-leg, Pietersen scoops this to fine-leg ala Cook the previous delivery.
 It was as though he was clearing leaves from a swimming pool, if that helps you picture it  
 55.1 Swann to Chanderpaul, 1 run, sweetly flicked to leg but it's well saved by Broad, timing his dive athletically - 
 not like a giraffe falling over at all. No.  
 120.3 Benn to Bopara, 1 run, silly point is so named for a reason, and he certainly got the point of that shot. Right 
 on the knee  
 143.6 Collingwood to Ramdin, no run, a tidy maiden, much like those in Durban nightspots 
 152.3 Edwards to Prior, 4 byes, wild and woolly, like a rebellious sheep. It's down the leg side and four more to 
 England 

 100.5 Hauritz to Swann, no run, Swann charges Hauritz but the bowler asks to be invoiced first, and it's padded away 

 59.2 Onions to Clarke, FOUR, oh that's a disgracefully brilliant cover-drive. That's the sort of stroke which'll make all
 the other cover-drives feel rubbish about themselves. Glorious from Clarke
 9.5 Johnson to Collingwood, no run, solidly thwacked with rambunctious biffing

 2.6 Lee to Strauss, no run, on the off stump and punched back to Lee. Handbags! Rompingly pink handbags at dawn as 
 Lee threatens to knock Strauss's head off, before they both smile and chuckle and enjoy the crowd's jeers 

 94.6 Morkel to Anderson, no run, another over is ticked by, as South Africa give up entirely on ever taking a wicket. Ever
