Fast bowling a go go

The phrase 'a go go' always reminds us of the old Amiga game, Nebulus 2: Pogo a go go. We were always struck by how the dark, barren imagery of the word 'nebulus' was entirely negated by the word 'pogo'.

We haven't actually seen much of the Test cricket that's taken place in South Africa since England were last there, but we get the impression that it's one of the few places left in the world where bowlers can come out on top.

Shoaib Akhtar returned to Test cricket today with 4-36. South Africa were all out for 124. In reply, Pakistan are currently 135-6. Makhaya Ntini has the exceptional figures of 4-18 off ten overs.

This will make us a tiny bit happier for the duration of the weekend. Go bowlers, go!
