Umpires have been terrible from square leg. That was a no ball, missed wides from both teams on bouncers. Must be hard to site the ball.

Paterson has deserved that with the intensity he has bowled with.

Totally different to how he was bowling last season.

*ps not sure that was a wide couple balls back

That's an amazing catch, there are clearly issues with the light here. This has been horrible finishing, no way Morgan should have come below Livingstone.

Roy run out has thrown them into disarray.

Saffer death bowling has been excellent though.

Match losing innings from Livingstone. Absolute dross.

Run out probably does England a favour, as at least Plunkett can hit the ****ing ball.

A real match losing innings if there ever was one compounded by an LOL run out.

Well done Saffers, thought they were dead, but Livingstone had other ideas.

Yeah extremely poor from Livingstone, his white ball record is actually pretty crap I fancy him in Tests a lot more. Got to credit Saffers though for that. Morris spell changed game. Roy run out doesn't happen and we cruise the game but new batsmen against good bowling was tough.

Neither team batted particularly well, but big difference was SA fielded much better and we were yet again crap. I remember being told Bayliss was going to work extremely hard on that area, far more work required.

England got arrogant sending Livingstone in ahead of Morgan, shouldn't be using innings to 'have a look' at people.

Having Long on AND Long off is a must in death overs irrespective of who the batsman is (unless a tailender). Not a fan of ABs strategy to bring one of those guys up and then leak runs through that region.

What on earth happened here.
Roy ran out obstructing field (correctly) and we promoted Livingstone ahead of Morgan who proceeded to lose game with an atrocious innings. Saffers bowled superbly though. Paterson and Phehlukwayo were excellent at death but Morris should be Motm - match winning spell.

Yea, especially if you don't have a brain-dead debutant trying to scoop the ball with a deep fine leg in place.

Never had him as a t20 player for sure. Nor Craig Overton, who is for some reason in the squad despite having the worst t20 record I've ever seen.

In shocking development, new player in the wrong format is not better than the England captain

So we've all learned something today

Only bit I've seen of the chase is the 'controversial' Roy dismissal on Beeb. Out, clearly
 

SeamUp

International Coach
He is going on the Ashes tour.

Pretty hard to see how they pick Hameed for the first Test, got to go Ballance really, captaining the Lions in the tour match is a pretty strong indication.
You don't reckon both Stoneman & Jennings will play ?

Possible. Ballance has been the best batsman in county cricket this year though. He was recalled too early last time round but his form is hard to question this year.

Nothing like writing off players based on a half-arsed look at a career average.
No idea why people reply to him. Never posts about cricket, is cringingly unfunny and is just allowed to troll without adding anything. Stick him on ignore and much better experience on here.
