*Official* England in South Africa

[King Pietersen]

Played Prior. Justified your selection once more. How long till the selectors finally bin him?

 

[BoyBrumby]

England screwing up the death overs nicely.

TBF it's been mainly better bowling. McLaren & Steyn found yorker length.

& a duck for Prior. Golden at that. Gave himself room and squirts it straight to point. Another full ball.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Better. McLaren drops short and Morgan does the honours. & now a wide.

 

[King Pietersen]

We'd have been royally screwed if it wasn't for Eoin Morgan. Still don't reckon we'll get enough, even if he has a big last over.

 

[Jarquis]

Gah Prior.

 

[Jarquis]

Shot from Morgan.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Jeez, that's some shot. Smacks a full ball straight down the ground for six. & a four off the last ball. 17 off McLaren's last over. Morgan's made 70 off 41. Heroic stuff.

 

[King Pietersen]

That six off McLaren was incredible. Was inches short of a yorker and he smacks him for 6 down the ground.

Haha, another unreal shot. How has that gone for 6? Morgan > *

200 up with another 6. Brilliance from Morgan.

202-6 to end. Excellent cricket from Eoin Morgan.

 

[superkingdave]

Lol shots son

200 up

 

[grecian]

Hmm, my Sky subtitles, just said "all the way for ***", after that shot, and let's face it, it WAS that good.

What an innings, what a shot. Well done Eoin

 

[BoyBrumby]

Consecutive sixes from Morgan to bring up the 200. Highest T20I score by an "Englishman".

We end on 202/6. Will take some chasing.

 

[GGG]

England screwing up the death overs nicely.

Lucky you have Ireland to finish it of nicely for you.

 

[Furball]

Morgan's highest score in all T20 cricket.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Been a while since England had someone who could be as destructive as Morgan without it being a bit of a one-off or fluke.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Lucky you have Ireland to finish it of nicely for you.

Imports + Northerners = win

 

[Jarquis]

Solid start by Jimmeh.

 

[King Pietersen]

Not so solid start by Tubby Bresnan. Get Saj on!

 

[Jarquis]

We've got four overs of Swanneh to come. It's in the bag

 

[Jarquis]

Not so solid start by Tubby Bresnan. Get Saj on!

Nor such a solid second over from Jimmeh

 

[King Pietersen]

Oh god. Here comes Saj. We're either going to get a pretty decent spell or one of the most atrocious spells of T20 bowling you'd ever like to see. I see Bosman taking him apart.

Good over from Saj. Mixed his pace nicely. Still can't work out why he's got grey hair though. He's only 27. Why would you choose to dye your hair silver? =/
