What a match.

BREAK PRIOR'S ****ING LEGS

Good God. Why is he here.

Chances are KP will do it for us then.

I know it's turning miles, but I still think that SA's bowlers would rather face KP than Broad or Anderson.

GET BROAD AND ANDERSON BACKz

I know it's turning miles, but I still think that SA's bowlers would rather face KP than Broad or Anderson.

For sure, especially considering the way Anderson was bowling in his last over. Best I've seen him bowl in an ODI for a long, long time.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I guess taking the pace off is a good idea against the tail. Give them nothing to work with.

Yardy

Fail captaincy

True, but I doubt they could have even got bat to ball against Anderson in that form.

Yeah I'd definitely just bowl Swann here. They still need wickets, 38 runs isn't that many. He might grab one in his last over.

After that I'd keep Yardy/Pietersen on at one end and bowl Broad at the other. Keeping the pace off isn't a bad idea but they need one more wicket fast.

 

[Spark]

If England lose this, I think there'll be one person to take the lion's share of the blame.

 

[Prad100w]

Yardy is bowling rubbish short ones. Bowl full ffs.

 

[BoyBrumby]

GET BROAD AND ANDERSON BACKz

Quite. Yardy's overs are more than covered by KP now. No way Jimmy, Tim or Broad all going to get their overs in.

 

[morgieb]

lol @ South Africa. If you want any proof that they won't win the WC, just look at this game.

Broad, Swann and Anderson have well more than enough to bowl it out between them.

What a terrible decision to bowl Yardy that over. Could cost them the match.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Why would you hold Swann back at this point? Game will be over in a couple of overs.

 

[_Ed_]

Still KP. I just don't understand this at all.

 

[Spark]

This is utterly inexplicable captaincy.

 

[Howe_zat]

Broad, Swann and Anderson have well more than enough to bowl it out between them.

What a terrible decision to bowl Yardy that over. Could cost them the match.

Broad & Anderson: 8 overs, 4-24.
Yardy: 8 overs, 1-42.

Come the **** on Strauss. Who do you pick?

 

[Prad100w]

Have a feeling SA might sneak in. Bring back the quicks/Swann.
