**Official** South Africa in England 2012

[Spikey]

Tregooooo

 

[grecian]

Tregooooo

indeed.

WOW. I know it's only a 2 day game so you might as well get runs quickly, but this is ridiculous. You wouldn't see such high strike rates in a 50 over game.

Hope South Africa keep picking Morkel in Tests. He's pretty ordinary 90% of the time, just the pace and bounce makes him look better than he is. We're the only decent Test side who he averages under 30 against, I'd like us to correct that.

good to see you in good spirit

Trego made 85* of 57 vs the touring indians last year

 

[Garson007]

I'm getting some bad vibes about this tour now.

 

[Spikey]

it's ok, you won't have to face trego in the tests

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good idea to put the bowlers on the worst pitch in the country first up. Might knock some of their confidence.

 

[Spark]

Reckon England would have good vibes about the 1st Test based on this - SA look a side that need much more than two brief tour matches to click into gear

 

[Scaly piscine]

60-ball hundred from Trego apparently. Morkel still getting smashed.

 

[Spark]

Big Vern still taking wickets, though, so some things are still right with the world

 

[Jacknife]

Trego smashes Morkel down the ground to bring up his 100 in 60 balls, then tries it again to Philander but edges to second slip.

 

[grecian]

It would be borderline mentalist and ridiculously reactionary to make anything much of this meaningless game, so:

TREGO & HILDRETH 4 ENGLAND

 

[Furball]

Big Vern still taking wickets, though, so some things are still right with the world

On his home pitch in fairness.

 

[Jacknife]

Young Chris Jones didn't last long tbf won't have faced bowling like this playing for Dorset or the 2nd's.

Hildreth brings his ton up off Seyn, sounds a top knock. Then like Trego gets out soon after.

We will have to wait and see. Bit of a fightback by the Saffers.

If this was the other way round i.e England in South playing a provincial side it would be "No worries just a warm up game."

Na, not what we'd be saying these days. We are more professional and it shows. In years gone by when we were crap we would have.

Any stream for this match? Havent found any so far.

To be fair, the Taunton pitches are a well-known batting paradise so Smith, Amla & Kallis will probably smash the Somerset bowlers all over the place.
