*Official* England in South Africa 2019/20

[slippy888]

England are no near safety around 350 lead, the 2nd new ball could save South africa yet

Would love to see sibley get to his ton tonight, will probably fall short but I think he wants to go for it

 

[Heboric]

Do you understand what downhill skiing is? This is not that.

Well has the definition conveniently changed

 

[Groundking]

South Africa have been so flat today, a real lack of intensity and some strange tactics (Maharaj bowling nothing balls into the rough) feel like we should have seen a little more of Nortje and Rabada.

Downhill skiing is scoring runs when there is little to no game pressure. The first innings lead was 46 ffs

 

[ajdude]

Quality downhill skiing here, this is flat

that ain't it chief

Hopefully he won't feel pressurised to go for it, although he might prefer to get there before the new ball is due.

 

[Tom Flint]

He has been nicking the strike off 4th or 5th ball of the over with risky ish singles the last few overs. Feel he needs a couple of boundaries in a over to get him closer . I can't watch tomorrow so I want him to get it today!

 

[Heboric]

I dont know, many people were accused on this thread for similar:

There's still 100 runs to go before that starts.

 

[ajdude]

this has been so impressive from root, really took the initiative here and put the foot down

 

[Groundking]

Nice 50 from Root, double this one for once please.

 

[Tom Flint]

Marahaj on to try to tempt sibley to go for it

That would be the second part of the thread title then, flat track bullies.

Marahaj on to try to tempt sibley to go for it

He'll know better than bring Stokes in to face a couple of overs due to a silly shot.

 

[ImpatientLime]

root gonna root

 

[ajdude]

ah damn. lovely knock tho

 

[BoyBrumby]

Wow. Pretorius got that to climb from nowhere.

Another uncoverted 50 for Root's collection.

 

[ajdude]

was just thinking bess would be the perfect nightwatchman; solid enough to hold on tonight and good enough to hang around tomorrow and make a soul-crushing 30

 

[wpdavid]

Wow. Pretorius got that to climb from nowhere.

Cracks in the wicket? Not the worst news from an English pov
