Malan just did well in a t20. Guaranteed to be the new Warner.

Westley is another pick a guy who's in form thing.

In fairness to Westley he was being talked about last season as a possible. Done well again this season so no problem with his inclusion. Malan i don't get at all.

 

[King Pietersen]

That's a beautiful shot through mid-on. Looks confident.

Malan is a Bayliss pick. Made some runs on the TV for England.

Good hour that, probably have taken that before play knowing the walking wicket would go early.

CWcommentary is on Mixlr. Mixlr is a simple way to share live audi... still going for the session

Interesting selections, don't really rate any of the players picked. Westley loose but plays some great shots.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Well I hope you lot are as critical about Rabada as the poor guys batting: the guy is bowling some absolute rubbish.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yep, very poor from Rabada. Wasn't good in the first test either.

 

[91Jmay]

Need to rotate the strike much better.

Think Westley's technique is a little meh, bat seems to come down from 3rdish slip.

 

[ImpatientLime]

Taylor's premature retirement has hurt England so much.

Really? It's not like he ever established himself as a test match player.

Bloody quota selection!

jk

Bloody quota selection!

Very true. And SA won the 2nd test where they dropped two quota players. No coincidence. #Quoteas

 

[Howe_zat]

Yeah pretty decent session. Given the early movement Philander got SA will see this as a missed oppertunity. Far too many wide and leg side balls.

Some smart cricket from Cook and a nervy but reasonable start from Westley. Feeling quite confident they can make the most of batting first now.

 

[Gnske]

Bwahahahahahaha what the **** is that on Warne's face hahahahahahah

 

[S.Kennedy]

Good old fashioned cricket from the Essex pair.

 

[StephenZA]

Not the best session for SA. I was surprised when Philander got pulled off after only 5 overs. And happy to be proved wrong, Morris bowled well. Need to start the next session with a bit more discipline.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Correct me if I am wrong but was that the first bit of swing, Morris in that final over?

To be fair, 5 good overs then getting pulled off is pretty nice morning
