1st Match - England v South Africa at The Oval

[harsh.ag]

Jason Roy 43(43). Ganguly: "He's a very good player, Jason Roy. Doesn't hang in there."

 

[SeamUp]

Two trundlers bowling in the middle overs. It's like the eighties have returned.

I was dreading this so badly.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Pheluakwayoyooyo starts his second over with a bumpah!

 

[StephenZA]

Lucky is a bit better than a trundler.... but Pretorius is just so bad, his batting just can't make up for it. Morris is no better. To think SA have basically ended up picking a squad of 13 at the moment.

 

[harsh.ag]

Haha Paul Reiffel doesn't mess around.

 

[King Pietersen]

50 for Roy, very nice innings. His 5th score of 50 or more in his last 6 innings. Has become such a class player.

 

[Zinzan]

Between Pikey & MM for the coin here

 

[trundler]

There's a collapse around the corner.

 

[harsh.ag]

Phehlukwayo’s even gentler

Yeah, Phehlukwayo seems better than Pretorius to me as well, but that is just based on this game.

Pretorius could legitimately have gone for 40 odd by now. They've been cautious.

 

[Howe_zat]

Too many dot balls. Pretorious getting away with murder

 

[Zinzan]

There's a collapse around the corner.

Even if England do have a mini-lollapse and end up 170-5 after 30, they've still got the batting depth to get 320+

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Newbie: 49+49 doesn't adds up to 100. I hate this game, so confusing.

 

[mr_mister]

There's a collapse around the corner.

Have you watched England bat in England the past few years? I'm genuinely surprised by these predictions. You all got too scared over one wicket

Weird he's doing an England/South Africa game. I suppose Kumar was around but even he's contracted to Sky.

 

[StephenZA]

Sneaking in Pretorius's overs here.

 

[King Pietersen]

Feels like we're letting SA off the hook a little only taking 24 runs from Pretorius' 5 overs.

 

[trundler]

Under 6 now. One wicket is all that's needed.

 

[morgieb]

Too many dot balls.

You're still going at close to six an over. All about dem wickets in hand right now.

 

[Zinzan]

Jeez, who's the genius commentator I just heard suggest if England can bat 50 overs, they'll probably get over 300?

Sounded like the great Wasim.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Phelewayoyoyo's action almost similar to Carlos Brathwaite. Mediocrity.
