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

[Howe_zat]

That dismissal was very Dave Warner.

South Africa's morning but it's good enough a total to mean the real game starts here.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yep. England have completely missed out here. Had the opportunity to expose South Africa's 4 man attack.

 

[Captain_Cook]

I wouldn't say that yet. Plenty of pressure on South Africa and their batting hasn't quite showed up other than the once innings in the second test. They will need to post a big total here on Day 3-4 with the pitch worsening..with the knowledge that one more collapse and the game is over.

SA turn up when they need to especially when it comes to avoiding defeat at home against England.

England have been diabolical at chasing for close to a decade. I don't back us to chase 200 and I think if we bowl okay then SA will get 200 minimum.

 

[Furball]

SA have a huge advantage now... With Steyn and Philander back at Centurion, I think Root's dismissal will be the turning point in the series...

**** being in the trenches with you.

 

[Spark]

Good stuff for the young man

 

[Black_Warrior]

I love these test matches when the two teams neutralise each other's first innings totals. Makes for fascinating cricket until the final day.

 

[Spikey]

Good stuff for the young man

a shame his **** hot performance against aus in the U19 WC isnt on youtube

 

[vcs]

So, how much would be a safe target here? I'm thinking anything over 300 would be really challenging, but 350+ needed to really put pressure on England.

 

[Black_Warrior]

If South Africa get to 300 plus in the second innings and it's a big IF, then you have to say advantage South Africa.

 

[fredfertang]

13-2 at lunch please

 

[vcs]

Ideally, if you're SA you're looking to bat till at least lunch tomorrow. Ideally upto tea.

 

[Pothas]

Jimmy going to be great here.

Yeah, Anderson has shown how easy it is to fire straight away after an injury hasn't he.

I need a stream, please..

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good stuff for the young man

Being serious, I presume he will play the last test as long as he doesn't get a niggle and if he does I hope we hardly see him in the one dayers if at all. So many young bowlers are breaking down and he looks a gem so I hope they look after him.

 

[Howe_zat]

Jimmy going to be great here.

draft.

I need a stream, please..

Ah, I too have often wondered where to turn when its cricket time...if only there were a place on the web to watch cricket for free...

 

[vcs]

None of the usual suspects work for me lately, unfortunately..
