England make yet another great escape..

I'm not a great follower of the test matches, but this match might have grabbed the attention of all the people like me. It was one like a semi final world cup match...never seen a test match like this!!!


I started watching this match when Graham Onions, the Durham fast bowler and England No11 came to batting. He was later described as "a legend" by his captain, Andrew Strauss, after saving the third Test very much as he had done the first. History repeated itself with almost perfect symmetry when Onions came to the wicket with 17 deliveries remaining – it had been 19 when he was asked to save the series opener in Centurion last month.


He faced 11 balls and all of the last over bowled by a hostile Morne Morkel as England drew the match to retain their 1-0 lead in the series.

It was a wonderful match to watch and hard luck for South African's.
