*Official* England in South Africa

Lol nice over from Trott

 

[Furball]

Cook is going to stun everyone with his strike rate in the first T20. Around 140 I reckon.

Great call.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Complete waste. Typical.

Actually it's been a good 20/twenty performance after the bad start. Really has had an energy and forcefulness about it which we generally lack.

Openers are obviously **** though, and we'll still lose, but better

 

[King Pietersen]

Just got to hope these 2 bat through, don't want Prior coming in and blocking out a few overs. How/why is he still in this team?

Mahmood to go at 15+ an over?

Woah, huge hit from Morgan. I like him, wasn't sure about his selection at first, but he's looking a more than useful player now.

 

[superkingdave]

Pitch looks nice to bat on

 

[Goughy]

Have I read the teamsheet correctly? Where are the bowlers?

With England you could equally say where are the batsmen. It's kinda balanced really, just the resources aren't great.

 

[superkingdave]

Does morgan's games per 50 come down now

Seriously though he's looked ok

 

[Jarquis]

Good effort from these two.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Bollocks. Colly holes out to Botha at extra cover off McLaren. 159/4. Been a great little partnership, this.

Langeveldt looks like he's having an inceasingly affectionate relationship with the pies; think Bresnan will only be the second fattest seamer on display today!

 

[Jarquis]

Colly gone, good move sending in Wright ahead of Prior IMO.

It does and my point still stands about the top 5 scoring the lions share of the runs.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Great over from McLaren. Every ball in at the batsmen's feet. 4 runs and a wicket off it.

Steyn back on.

 

[King Pietersen]

Wright's terrible.

One quick thing, I am not looking forward to watching Mahmood bowling on here. If Steyn is going round the park, then what's it going to be like for Mahmood? Not going to be pretty.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Thanks for coming, Luke. 2 off 5. Sigh.

 

[Scaly piscine]

England screwing up the death overs nicely.

I looked at the game on tv and saw the size of the crowd and was amazed as it looked like a provincial game size crowd.


Then I remembered that it WAS a provincial game SA team vs SA team.

 

[superkingdave]

Bye bye Matt, thanks for nothing....GTFO of the limited overs sides
