*** Official*** South Africa in England 2017

[AndyZaltzHair]

Yeah poor shot this

 

[StephenZA]

Not a good looking shot.

 

[SeamUp]

All out today?

Definitely. Call extra half hour/hour if they need to.

 

[StephenZA]

Temba is so brave.

Just need to get him to covert more 50s to 100s to get his average up.

If they promote QdK how do you get Temba up the order ?

Temba 5 QDK 6 (if still keeping).

 

[SeamUp]

Temba 5 QDK 6 (if still keeping).

Only way.

Got a lot of thinking and licking wounds to do before TB

This is one away from the most wickets taken by England spinners at Lords since the start of covered pitches. The one exception is the 2013 Ashes where the Australians kept hitting Swann to deep fielders.

[StephenZA]

As well as Eng have bowled, and as much as the pitch is turning. This a poor batting display by SA.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah Daws and Moeen have been superb but some rancid shots. Also shows you how negative and poor Maharaj was yesterday. He barely threatened, was a bit better today but still overall poor

 

[Bijed]

I was personally thinking Moeen should have come off at the end of his 9th over. Good thing I'm not England Captain, eh?

 

[Howe_zat]

I think even in this period post-tea where they've both bowled well, Ali has looked like the superior bowler.

 

[honestbharani]

So obviously when I said a 4th innings hundred, I meant the team scoring a 100.



Ah, **** that.. I am just awful at predictions. Sorry RSA fans.. Too bad game has gone this way. But what a game for Moeen. Way to answer critics. To think if we had let CW select their team for this test, Moeen would most likely have been the one to miss out.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah I wanted him off for some pace, shows how little I know

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

who predicted a moeen five fer yesterday?

 

[91Jmay]

Great 5fer. Should be over today now, hope Daws bags couple more

 

[ImpatientLime]

MoM, root or moeen?

 

[Howe_zat]

To think if we had let CW select their team for this test, Moeen would most likely have been the one to miss out.

Nah people wanted less Dawson. Moeen as an allrounder needs to be respected, batting seven and bowling is his role.

5fer!

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

moeen ali to get five fer in the second innings

[LegionOfBrad]

MoM, root or moeen?

Mo

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Bit gutless this from SA.

Could be a very long series with that batting line up.
