Pathetic to see England walking off the field for "bad light" when they were clearly on top of indifferent bowling from the Pollockless SA. When they resumed they had to settle in all over again - and lost two quick wickets.

Ard, sounds like you were watching ITN. There is no "halfway" point in the main BBC news. Incidentally if the BBC's sport slot had led off with England (which, I repeat, it did not) there would have been a case for that, to the extent that about 95 per cent of viewers would have been more interested in that than the Wales game.

As for running a trailer of the Beckham goal, that would have had nothing to do with the England you hate so much, and everything to do with the cult of celebrity, which has become a worldwide idiocy. (Did you happen to see any coverage of Beckham in China?) And this is a guy who will struggle to keep a first-team place with his club side.
