What is the chance of England scoring anything less than 330 in ANY of the ODIs in this series? I think it's nill. The South African bowling is truly atrocious. Even Tahir is clearly washed up now and barely an above average ODI bowler anymore while the rest of the possible bowlers are tantamount to exhibition practice. Combine that with England's batting lineup being legitimately 9 deep and I'm very certain they score at least 330 in every game and possibly 350 in every game.

When Rabada returns, that may make things just a little less easier. Morris and De Lange looked pedestrian today. With Rabada-Tahir-Morkel SA will have 3 decent bowlers to bowl 30 overs. The other 20 will still be bad though.

Great start for SA. This one isn't over by a long shot, we haven't got a bowler I really trust yet. Rashenius with some magic would go down well.

RRR is 8.22. 3-5 tight overs can build immense pressure on SA. Moeen and Stokes can do that at this stage. SA should target Jordan and Rashid before that. Rashid is an attacking legspinner - which means they (mainly de Kock) should target him, there's nothing to lose.

Woakes is a better bowler and better batsman than Jordan. England should have picked him. It's as stupid as dropping Stuart Binny for Rishi Dhawan.

Yeah his ODI stuff was the most offensive bowling I've ever seen.

One of my favourite cricketing moments is during the middle of the match interview David Willey declaring that he can't stand him and he was glad to have ruined his figures during the T20 Blast final a few years ago.
