Semi Final 1 - England v South Africa

[stumpski]

Heh, I go out to hang the washing and another one goes.

Anyone doing anything interesting this afternoon?

 

[_Ed_]

Whoa! Fantastic from England.

 

[Adders]

Butlers playing a blinder here.

 

[wpdavid]

And another - nicely done Tredders

 

[King Pietersen]

This is ridiculous. Big wicket getting Du Plessis, he was the key to South Africa setting a reasonable total. Should hopefully clear up now. Get Jimmeh back on!

Bowled Tredwell. Never lets England down when he plays, might not be a massive wicket taker, but he always picks the odd one up, and keeps it really tight. SA under pressure now!

Since 2012, Tredwell has played 13 games and has 24 wickets@19.75, ER 4.57. In the same time frame Swann has 14 wickets @ 42.78, ER 4.76 in 15 games.

Granted some of Tredwell games he will only have played because its a spinning pitch, but still some seriously impressive figures.

Nice take there.

Very good set of stats those. I'd be very tempted to go with Tredders as our primary spinning option at the minute, especially if Swann's injury problems continue. Keep him fit for the Tests, and give Tredwell a good run in the side, he certainly deserves it.

Put a second slip in for the quicks


EDIT
Because they're really handy for runouts

 

[Howe_zat]

Not often you see a bloke lbw, caught and run out in one ball

 

[Spark]

This is immensely amusing

 

[Burgey]

Hahahahaha .

That's piss funny

 

[Furball]

Holding WAC. Was just about to post that that dismissal should be st Trott b Tredwell.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Missed the fun at kids sports day. Looks a cakewalk from here.

 

[King Pietersen]

Brilliant from South Africa. Well and truely living up to their choker tag.

 

[Spark]

quality commentator jinx that

 

[King Pietersen]

Tredwell > *. WAFG.

 

[wpdavid]

And another wicket for Tredwell.

And another take for Buttler, which can't do his confidence any harm.

 

[Adders]

I've got a cricket boner.

 

[Uppercut]

Lol Tredwell takes a wicket with an accidental doosra. It's been that kind of day.
