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

[MrPrez]

Really surprising amount of movement for a 40 over old ball.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah ball has swung consistently and seamed a little bit as well.

 

[91Jmay]

Wow that is a bonus. Wicket for spinner on day one, and it turned a little bit.

 

[wpdavid]

Sounds like we've completely wasted the new ball then. It would be nice if we didn't run out of steam midway through an away series.

EDIT
Clearly I need to do that more often.

 

[wowitspink]

Hahahahahaha...dropping piedt will come back to bite them in the ass.

 

[91Jmay]

Sounds like the teams illness is a lot more serious than let on and a lot more players as well.

 

[Gnske]

25ºC after all, its no wonder the English are ill from heat stroke.

Imagine thinking this was a good joke.

Its not a joke, its reality for you people

 

[91Jmay]

Sounds like the ball is turning, Amla another close LBW shout.

Yeah you didn't need to clarify the lack of humour, don't worry.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Get in, Finn has bowled well all series.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah Finn has been really good all series and that sounds like an absolute jaffer. Pitch offering plenty so anything around the 300 is a good first dig score.

 

[Gnske]

Yeah you didn't need to clarify the lack of humour, don't worry.

Hey now there's no reason to be tetchy, every civilization has their fatal flaw or two.

 

[MrPrez]

Yeah you didn't need to clarify the lack of humour, don't worry.

You must be fun at parties.

 

[91Jmay]

You must be fun at parties.

Actually I'm not fun at all, i normally end up drinking to much and crying on my own in a corner. So jokes on you if anything.

 

[wowitspink]

And to think SA didn't retain piedt for this test match. Horrendous decision. Then again it is expected as ABD nowadays is not enjoying cricket, which will reflect in his decisions/captaincy.

 

[OverratedSanity]

There's definitely something in this pitch. Been some awkward bounce all throughout. Morkel could be dangerous if he gets his length right. He probably won't.

Early days. Things may look different if their four quicks are good enough on this track.

haha this story by Smith about how Kallis made balls that beat him look like a landmine had gone off is great What was the word he said they made up? Peroscilation?

Anyway Finn is bowling some jaffers to Faf right now. Like legitimately unplayable stuff
