Yorkshire Boy Does It For England

As the 4th test against South Africa seemed doomed to be a draw, one man had another idea.



Tyke pace bowler Matthew Hoggard unleashed the best spell of bowling in his career so far. Single handedly demolishing the SA upper order, including the removal of the vital wicket of Kallis for a golden duck, Hoggard ploughed his way through a South African batting line up that has been largely impenetrable to the England attack on this tour.


The match looked all set for a dull finish in the middle of the 4th day, but England Captain Michael Vaughaun clearly had his sights set on a win. The run rate fairly rattled along pushing England's second innings total to 332, including a mighty 180 from Marcus Trescothick, and when England declared just before lunch South Africa seemed to have the fairly easy task of batting two sessions to draw the match.

With Graeme Smith not batting up the order due to a concussion suffered in practice, the south Africans opened with the on form Gibbs and De Villiers stuck up the order in a night watchman role. As Hoggard ripped through the batsmen, Smith was forced to bat with SA 118-6. Gibbs made a heroic 98 at the other end, Smith made a half century despite his head injury.

Did anyone else think that Smith was far more interested in making 50 than saving the match ? He played some odd shots and made a couple of nearly suicidal runs at the end.



In this rather unlikely, and obviously posed picture, Hoggard celebrates with an energy drink and an apple, as opposed to a tin of Tetley's and sausage butty.

Well done Matthew Hoggard, let's just hope that the rest of the England attack can contribute in the last test.
