I don't know who to be mad at for that

Help

groundsmen for putting the stumps in too firmly

Good old English catching

 

[Spikey]

Zing bails suck, as do I for never making a thread to catalogue all the bullshit they've been involved in

 

[Burgey]

Amateur hour keeping from Buttler. That was a cod ordinary over from him

In contrast that was honestly a pretty ***y over Moeen. Brilliant length.

 

[Borges]

Very good idea to bowl spin at van der Dussen.

 

[andruid]

It begins

It wasn't as good as that.

 

[Daemon]

Dussey has no idea against spin does he

 

[tooextracool]

Buttler is a very ordinary keeper - a poor choice given the available options.

Not Buttlers best today. Still in the balance this.

Not really in balance if Amla doesn't play, but SA have a chance with good partnerships. 70-30 in England's favor.

 

[Borges]

Ah! Plunkett! Go after him, boys!

Yeh but then we’d have to find somewhere to hide him in the field.

sirens in the background. Hope that's not an ambulance for Hash :/

 

[Daemon]

Nice that they've got Ganguly in as a commentator. Knows his stuff and you can tell he actually watches and follows non-Indian games closely.

Buttler is a better outfielder than wicket keeper. I thought Bairstow did a decent job keeping to Rashid Khan in the IPL, can't say the same about Buttler who generally struggled.

 

[Groundking]

Mo's bowling really well here.

These were my concerns with Rassie going to the next level. So far his maturity has allowed him to get through these patches . Now it is the real test though.
