*Official* England in South Africa

[Jarquis]

If we want a soft-**** with a pretty technique we might as well stick with Ding Dong.

Yeah, was just questioning Grecian's use of anyone
I find watching Bopara funnier than Bell though, just the way he tries to make it look like he's dominating when he chips it to cover.

OMFG what is this ****?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Oh, sweet Jesus. How have we managed to lose this?

 

[Jono]

FFS England grow a backbone.

 

[Jarquis]

Looks like it has deviated to me.

Edit : Off the bat.

 

[Uppercut]

Definite deviation there for mine. Bell not referring for ages was a bit of a giveaway.

 

[grecian]

Gutless England your ****ing pathetic. Deserve this loss, IMHO.

Broad, tbf. But yeah, huge edge and he knew it.

 

[Jarquis]

Super Swanneh to the rescue!

Ah yeah, my bad.

Swanneh's in.

Swann should bat 7. Who cares about Broad being the next Flintoff. He's the better batsman.

 

[Jarquis]

The current field reminds me of when I used to play as Sussex on Cricket 07.
Bowling with Mushtaq Ahmed, no pace and maximum spin. Every front foot defensive shot would just pop off the bat to a close fielder. Good times.

8 if we're playing 6 batsmen, you're right. When they play at Notts Swann bats above Broad.

 

[Goughy]

This is why I hate English cricket. Had to live with this **** for 20 years of collapse after collapse. I had hoped it was over.

Tough runs count the same but are different to easy runs.

 

[Jarquis]

We were 172/3 before KP needlessly run himself out. Since then we've lost 5 wickets for 30. Same old, same old.

 

[Jono]

Every no ball must hurt England lol.

 

[GIMH]

If we bring the physio out with new gloves and drinks will that help?

 

[Uppercut]

Why replace Harris with Morkel?

 

[Jono]

Yeah awful decision. 6 balls which looked nice but don't get wickets from Morkel.

 

[chalky]

Brigadier block to the rescue

Ian Bell take your "excellent technique" & **** off

 

[Nate]

Why replace Harris with Morkel?

Swanneh doesn't mind the spin.
