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

Haha I don't know why I always smile when I see Amla referred to as "#".

Hopefully silentstriker isn't reading the thread though or he'll be confused as to why the bloke's nickname is "pound sign".

still remember in an early lecture at uni where "#" was shown on the powerpoint and the lecturer asked what the symbol meant (fracture, ftr). some bright spark yelled out "hashtag!" (and no it wasn't Spark)

By the way, let's not forget that this is the same SA side which refused to chase 16 in 3 overs. I think England might already be safe.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Need to get 4 wickets in the next 10 overs to chase 160 at about 4rpo.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Rabada's figures are so much worse than he's actually bowled this innings, particularly given what the score is.

He's very raw. But i think he's going to be great. Sort the ****ing no balls out though.

 

[91Jmay]

Need to bat 25 more overs minimum. Can't believe we are going to contrive to lose this. Saffers have bowled really well, but so gutless from us.

He has obviously been hanging out morkel too much and has picked up his sickness.

No its not the same side actually. They have a new captain who declared yesterday.

Those clouds are menacing to.

That's the most encouraging thing I've read all day.

I suppose the other factor might be how many overs England actually deign to send down. This is all setting up for one of those situations when the over-rate is abysmal.

On the last day we get to 75 then do the final hour. If there is light we will get the 88.

 

[Jono]

Nah

It is literally a different team since they have a new captain. Your post was wrong.

Yeah, but the light must be a factor if England don't bowl their overs quickly enough. Which they probably won't.

 

[Jono]

Nah

wah

 

[LegionOfBrad]

RR now 3 on the chase.

Disappointed you didn't yell out 'Amla!', tbh

Only probably due to the cloud. If England are on the go slow the Umps will stick it out longer (as in the UAE) especially as there hasn't been a light reading yet.

If you've fallen asleep now, why are you even at the cricket.
