***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

[91Jmay]

Hales/Cooks dismissals are absolutely dismal shots. Root shouldn't have been that far back but was a good one to get first up from the spinner. Would take 280 here, pitch has had something for every bowler.

This could be a big big day for Compton.

Sounds like we should be a bit grateful that Steyn new ball spell didn't write us off completely.

 

[Cabinet96]

Sharp work.

Bavuma looks tiny under the lid there.

Bavuma looks tiny under the lid there.

According to comm team he is a couple of centimetres shorter than Taylor.

 

[Cabinet96]

Really liked this from Compton.

 

[weldone]

Compton is quality.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Thank god you guys got rid of Ian Bell. These two look very good.

 

[weldone]

Still not convinced about Taylor's technique against quality pace bowling (he's superb against spin)...Compton is certainly good i.e. test standard, and I've said this long ago

 

[Compton]

He's hardly box office, but Compton's played really well. Really important for the team that someone stood strong when Steyn threatened to blow the house down.

Thank god you guys got rid of Ian Bell. These two look very good.

Partnership: 28.

Stop it with your bloody jinxing, nearly cot the Comp-dog there.

Compo never looks very good, but at least he knows what game he's playing

Oh England are still in deep ****, I just said they look good.

 

[Howe_zat]

Sincere attempt to kill the short leg fielder from Taylor, always good to see

 

[OverratedSanity]

Still think England will get bowled out for less than 200 though. Don't fancy Moeen or Stokes here at all.

That's your 2nd post of the day with italicized look, and it's not quite as bad as the last one.

 

[grecian]

What is this filth, and why did Taylor nearly get out to it?

 

[Compton]

Swann on TMS talking about pressure on Compton's scoring rate.

If he makes a good 50+ and England end up scoring the best part of 300, who cares the rate he scored them at?

**** off I don't even know what you're saying
