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

With qdk injured there is no hope...

There is something insanely wrong with the proteas conditioning. How is it possible that so many of our players cramp after getting a big 100?

 

[Bijed]

No I think Tendulkar was a better keeper, though they are comparable in that regard certainly.

Can't tell at all how serious you're both being here, but I believe Tendulkar was occasionally handy with the ball, too.

Jordan back on, could be messy

It was his predictably ****ty attempt at humour.

QDK is a much better ODI batsman than the overrated Maxwell.

 

[MrPrez]

It's ridiculous that QdK has 9 ODI centuries at the age of 23.

 

[Howe_zat]

De Kock looks unstoppable right now. Sensational batting

QDK did have a fatigue problem in India too. He played some excellent knocks in that series, but always got cramped/tired after reaching about 100.

QDK is a much better ODI batsman than the overrated Maxwell.

True...but Buttler vs Maxwell is an apple-to-apple comparison

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Beauty of a shot.

 

[Bijed]

We need to get rid of QDK pretty quickly, or we're losing with overs to spare, imo. Way he's batting, might have to be a run out

Well, this match is 100% over already - time to head to bed. South Africa is the worst team there is at chasing big totals

Forget 350, England could hit 380. Pathetic bowling this. South African cricket has really gone in the toilet in all formats.

Gotta be the worst display of bowling from South Africa in years. Zero chance of them successfully chasing this score - South Africa have been historically bad chasers for the last several years. They wouldn't be able to chase 300, let alone 400.

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.

I haven't seen you before. I hope you're just having a bad day.

This is atrocious posting. Sweeping, sneering, short-sighted garbage from start to finish.

 

[Howe_zat]

As in the world cup, the SA top four looks outstanding but before too long the batting 'all gets a bit Ferhaan Behardien'

 

[Bijed]

Yes, Mo! (Wrong wicket, I know, but I'll settle for simply stranding QDK)

 

[kykweer.proteas]

I expect a bit of a cameo here.

 

[91Jmay]

Massive wicket and just before the rain. 40 below DL.

 

[Burner]

De Kock has almost twice as many centuries as he has half-centuries. That's impressive.

 

[Howe_zat]

With five of the top six in the shed any D/L reduction will really punish SA.

 

[Franco Vazquez]

Jordan worst bowler showing why he is the worst

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Gosh i just know d/l is going to bend us over the chair and give it to us hard. Asif this chase isnt already tough enough.

 

[Howe_zat]

With five of the top six in the shed any D/L reduction will really punish SA.

For example if they lose 5 overs to the rain, SA's target would be 374, meaning they'd need 124 runs in 11.3 overs

If they lose 10 overs to the rain, SA's target would be 336, meaning they'd need 86 runs in 6.3 overs

Nowhere near enough wides to be worse than Dernbach.
