Ram Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 This is what you call a m-a-s-s-a-c-r-e I think the Saffies are aiming for the biggest innings victory margin ever ! Something like innings and 450 runs .
Mr. Wicket Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Nope, they declared. Probably want a couple of days to golf...
