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

[Jono]

good review

Yo, Behardien, 16 from 21 isn't enough. You're the batsman in this situation...

I've never seen Behardien do anything. Like, ever. He may as well not exist. Yet somehow, he continues to get a game for them regularly

 

[StephenZA]

Damn it....

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Second absolutely awful decision.

 

[weldone]

Things were almost going well.

Abbott got some ominous movement there. England ought to use a bit of nous here and remember they're going to get overs from Duminy and Behardien later on.

Behardien sure - but Duminy maynot be the easiest bowler to play here.

 

[Compton]

Some pretty poor umpiring in this match so far.

Nothing as bad as Bowden this morning though

 

[91Jmay]

That umpire is awful. What is his name?

Yepp. Miller would have been my pick. Not a big fan but at least he has more to show in the first innings of an ODI.

Johan Cloete I think it was that gave Root out.

 

[weldone]

Duminy's dismissal and Root's (non-)dismissal were similar weren't they? really bad umpiring

The Duminy one was missing by more IMO. They were both awful though.

He played one of the worst t20 innings ever, everyone smashing it in a bowlers paradise and he struggling to get singles,
2nd T20I: South Africa v West Indies at Johannesburg, Jan 11, 2015 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

He really is average as hell.

Yepp. Miller would have been my pick. Not a big fan but at least he has more to show in the first innings of an ODI.

Duminy has to bowl 10 overs though. On a normal ODI pitch that would be carnage.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Very happy to see a solid crowd today. Loud and energetic too.

 

[Jono]

IMO this match will be decided on whether Eng panic with the run rate or if they keep themselves composed.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Gotta say the atmosphere sounds amazing.

It'll be on how many wickets Imran Tahir gets, I think.

 

[Pothas]

That was so bad.

 

[Jono]

man that would have been a sucky way to get out

 

[91Jmay]

That was the worst thing that has happened in cricket history.

This over has been absolute garbage. Hales ffs how do you not plunder that.
