This Ja Ja Binks bloke from SA hits them all right.

Meanwhile... Rashid. Not very good.

How long has Rashid been in the SA team. I'm amazed he got the gig given he's been crap in domestic 20/20

Ended up being one of their best players. Averaged 14 with an economy under 7.

Tait. Makes Johnson seem like a simple case study.

Just a weapon when he gets it right. What a rock, seriously.

Like today?

Both he and Levi of the Cobras are wonderfully uncomplicated.

Warriors batting is still a bit light but like the Cobras their bowling is good for these conditions. Looks like a comfortable win for them here.

 

[SeamUp]

Hopefully Kieswetter and Buttler will be available for Somersets next match.

Still don't see the reason for that short Windies series.

 

[Jayzamann]

Beat Kolkata.

Shouldn't even be there.

 

[OMM!]

A Somerset 1st XI would be frightening in this competition.

They'd probably win it, but with no Tres or Pollard and Kiesy and Jos out of half the tournament, they have very little chance.

 

[The_roc]

Anyone know the logic behind Eurosport's programming. It looks a bit hit and mis regarding which games are shown

 

[TT Boy]

South Australia don't seem to rate Rashid with the bat. Surely he is a better hitter than that Ludeman guy? What a painful innings he played. At no point during the innings have SA looked like they wanted the win.

Rashid's limited overs batting is a bit pish to be honest.

 

[GotSpin]

Accidentally turned this on earlier. Stuck a fork in my eye.

That'll be all

 

[Daemon]

Why was that last ball defended? Are SA ********?

 

[Howe_zat]

Last 3 overs went for 12 runs and no wickets, with allrounders at the crease. What the hell? Have a go, and even if that means you're simply beaten by less, then at least your NRR isn't ****ed.

 

[Daemon]

I don't think they have any idea how NRR is calculated

Nah , you need to keep wickets in hand so you can slog at the...oh, I see.

 

[Daemon]

FFFUU keep Kartik on!

 

[The_roc]

I bet Gambhir is glad to be back

 

[Howe_zat]

Gambhir gets a first baller, heh. Up the Cidermen.

What do we know of Lewis Gregory, anyway? I know he captained the England under 19s. How fast is he?

 

[Daemon]

Never seen him before but despite the sample size that is a pretty impressive LO strike rate

 

[Cabinet96]

Lol at South Australia, do they not care about net run rate.

Decent start by the English boys. Hopefully the spinners can tie things down now.

Another Indian opener goes first ball on a return from injury.
