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

[OverratedSanity]

That's stupid

 

[Compton]

Great bit of work in the field from Woakes though.

England got this in the bag. What is going on with England? They are suddenly slightly awesome at ODI cricket (pretty sh*** bowling notwithstanding).

Just got in and remembered this is on, so AB's dismissal a welcome start - why are the Saffers in pink?

(Breast) Cancer awareness day...

More than half.

That's what I thought. Wondering why the same doesn't apply with impact given that's not predictive (ie more accurate in the first place) and something you can judge more accurately generally.

It's breast cancer day for then today is it not? Anyway well run through them here if we can get Duminy before they get to 150, we really need to learn as a nation to stop shelling so ****ing many.

Enbarassing lack of awareness in this corner of Berkshire

Yes, despite Sky always proclaiming a new era of English fielding every time they have a half-decent day.

Also why couldn't we have played the whole series with Woakes? He's been great, also not convinced that Rashid is international quality with his bowling, what are our options instead of him?

All aboard the Crane train!

 

[Compton]

That looked absolutely plumb.

 

[Groundking]

That's not Rashid, Duminy is just crap >.>

 

[Spark]

Duminy is garbage, eh

 

[Compton]

Duminy reacts as if the ball turning off of the pitch is an unexpected act of sorcery. Like there was no way he could possibly have predicted that might happen.

Rashid's bowled pretty well today/tonight, first over aside. Not sure why this performance would lead you not to rate him.

I just don't know what he was trying to do with his footwork, hit himself into a right mess, that plus his slow rate he went at and running AB out is just a truly awful innings from him

Yep. Absolute stinker.

Tbf I posted that after his first god awful over, he's still not getting enough wickets, for the series he averages something like 60 with the ball.

Ah, didn't click with the time stamp, my bad.
