In South Africa, we don’t get the BBC Test Match Special on radio and have to settle for Radio 2000 (thank you for Neil Manthorp and Michael Abrahamson, who I hope gives us the solution to his soccer riddle before this Test is out).
So here is a gem, sent from Australia, from Test Match Special during South Africa’s innings on Friday.
PS: for the non-aficionados, Siders is Ryan Sidebottom, the hirsute left-arm England fast bowler.
“Siders looks like he’s got a bit of a birthday strop on here. Amla dead-bats one back up the track, and the curly-topped toiler pretends to hurl the ball back at the stumps before deciding to hang on. As menaces go, it’s less Jeff Thomson and more Emma Thompson.”
