*Official* England in South Africa

[Sam Handwich]

Yes he is a fine commentator, but who would you leave out?

Warnie.

Getting the feeling England need to strike soon or else SA can push on to 300+

Well, your Prime Minister for a start. I guess all the C9 commentators are contracted, so he'd just have to be added into the roster. Its ridiculous not to get context from the visiting team. Most of these commentators haven't seen Aamir or Umar before, so Waqar could provide backgrounds & context. Without that, the commentary will always be weak on the visiting team.

Don't mind us reviewing this, 2 left with 4 wickets to go you might as well have a look

Could be the best part of today left in this innings given the way England only have two good bowlers and one of them isn't getting much luck.

Not like he's far away either - lives 5 minutes from my joint tbh.

Nah, was never a chance. Strauss's face told its own story. Wouldn't mind referring a marginal, but that was always an NO for mine.

Looking at the way De Villiers is playing makes me think how nice it would be to have a batsman at #6 in our team. & 50 as I type. Sigh.

 

[GIMH]

I dunno, thought there might have been an edge onto the pads at first look

 

[GIMH]

Broad you beauty

If there was that much doubt....hang on, gonesville. Huzzah.

 

[GIMH]

Change for England, here's Stuart Broad, who looks like he's crawled out a ditch, his whites are filthy. Still, he's here to take wickets not look tidy.

Tell that to CW

I'm optimistic we can restrict them to less than 300 now...what do people think a par score is on this deck?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Gorgeous cut from Morkel there. Has ability with the willow.

Re: par score. I reckon anything more than 320 and SA are in the box seat, especially with our batting line up.

 

[GIMH]

Out

Edit - I believe the correct word is plumb

 

[Sam Handwich]

I think it's out. w00p w00p ect.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Think Harry's wasted a review here. Pad first, in line, halfway up middle. Never see a more plumb LBW.

 

[GIMH]

Broad has bowled some good stuff here

 

[King Pietersen]

Yeah, the figures for Broady are good as well. Got the most wickets from the 3 seamers, and he's been the most economical of the 3. Surprised he's only bowled 17 overs. He is definitely showing improvement and starting to be abit more consistent. He's getting that bowling average down as well, it's been up as high as 49.36 against SA at Home, so he's done really well to get that down to 35.69. Almost has respectable Test figures!

 

[GIMH]

He averages 29.93 this year FTR

 

[Matt79]

If we're talking averages, how about this vs this.

Just saying....

 

[Redbacks]

Onions is a gun

+1

My only concern from what I have seen of him is that his bad ball generally tends to be a juicy pie which releases the pressure too much. He's got good control generally, good pace and should be bringing more batsmen to tears in the future!

Everyone knows Broad bowled loads of pies up to the end of last year, let's live in there here and now
