Even I have to admit that today's cricket is tedious.
Resuming on 13-0 and still 333 runs behind England, South Africa bore the arse off everyone with a dogged display of stupefyingly negative batting. Both Graeme Smith and Neil McKenzie make centuries as the Proteas close on 242-1. Smith is the only man out, caught by Kevin Pietersen off the bowling of James Anderson for 107.
South Africa remain 104 runs away from forcing England to bat again ahead of tomorrow's final day's play. I'll try to stay awake long enough to bring you the news. If you want, like.
Rugby league is far more interesting. Wigan continue to delight me. Following their win over Leeds last week which helped Saints reach the top of Super League, the Warriors revert to type in somehow managing to lose 39-22 at Hull KR. Former Wigan scrum half Mick Dobson scores four tries against his old side, and adds a drop goal for good measure.
Unfortunately Wigan remain in the play-off places, lying fifth with a three-point lead over sixth placed Bradford Bulls. It looks a straight fight between the Bulls and the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats for that final spot.
I didn't see any of the Tour de France today. I fell asleep watching Neil McKenzie blocking the living shit out of the clueless Ryan Sidebottom. What I do know is that it is as you where in the overall classification, with Kim Kirchen still holding a six-second lead over Cadel Evans after Riccardo Ricco wins his second stage of the tour. Britain's David Millar has a shocker and drops from seventh to 25th overall, while two-time stage winner Mark Cavendish languishes in a lowly 151st place.
