*Official* England in South Africa 2019/20

[MW1304]

Ugh was such a good opportunity for him to get easy runs.

Always plays selflessly tbf, that is just sometimes synonymous with stupidly.

 

[Athlai]

At least Nortje taking wickets for my CPL team... now just for Hamza to get a double.

Cpl > cricket

 

[theegyptian]

Lol at that broad look. Never seen him look so excited.

 

[Groundking]

What kind of fielding is that, smh.

 

[vcs]

Stokes, Buttler and Curran in the middle order is so much fun.

 

[91Jmay]

Superb session, mindset unbelievable led by Stokes. So happy for Dom as well.

 

[Spark]

Superb session, mindset unbelievable led by Stokes. So happy for Dom as well.

Batting like this is so clearly their comfort zone. Can't think of a more dangerous bunch of players to have in your lineup if you need to push for quick runs to set up a game.

 

[Gnske]

The songs that would be sung of Burns and Sibley if they managed to build a successful opening partnership over many years would be cherished through time.

 

[Gremlin]

What is the point of Broad batting now? Why risk it?

 

[Gnske]

Why not treat the fans to a classic late 2010s Stuart Broad dismissal against face bowling amidst the plunder?

 

[Gnske]

Tsk. And to think Rabada had four balls at the guy.

Cricket loses

 

[Heboric]

Still no 400 total for England in yonks

 

[theegyptian]

Great work lads

 

[Groundking]

Broad wastes a review, what's new?

 

[King Pietersen]

Crowd going bananas after seeing the inside edge. Could hear a few in the crowd giving it to Broad.

 

[NUFAN]

Malan is living very dangerously. At least he knows where his offstump is, im just thinking he is going to misjudge one very soon.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Boo on Mark Nicholas for trying to pronounce Labuschagne properly

I don't know why people are making quite such a big deal about it... it is quite clear the man (and/or family) is trying to get away from his SA roots. Considers himself an Aussie, so gone for a more English pronunciation.

After the Ashes I'd settled on La-boo-shane, but following the rugby world cup and the comms pronouncing the sometime Japanese flanker Lappie (no relation?) as La-boo-skhuk-knee I'm now stuck on that one too.

 

[slippy888]

South Africa doing good here

 

[Daemon]

Poor captaincy by Root. SA have a 100% track record when chasing 438.

 

[slippy888]

Dean Elgar the key batsman he capable of batting long
