*Official* England in South Africa 2019/20

[vcs]

Stokes fined 15% of match fee for altercation.

Got away lightly there I reckon.

Haha, even cricinfo's swear filter is more liberal than here.

Howe Snr calls to discuss the cricket, suggests that SA have just sent in 'Naughty'.

Best is Zimbos, Pommie. Haysman is ghastly I don't know why they keep dragging him back from America. HD is great to listen to as well, commentates domestic stuff a lot.

Today they had Bishop, Duminy, Rabada, HD and Tom Moody for the U19 stuff was great to listen to.

Tom Moody & Bish are good, would like to hear Duminy & KG.

 

[mackembhoy]

That is a bad decision really. I know it was clipping on umps call but have to give batter benefit of the doubt there surely?

I'm not a fan of umpires call. I know it's technology and margin for error etc.

It hit the stumps it's out. Anyway gerrin Woody

 

[91Jmay]

Was pretty tortuous from Bavuma. Basically for every bat bar QDK, we've bowled really well but they have let us.

 

[StephenZA]

Nortje has come in to protect Philander and Pretorius? I mean how does that even make sense?

 

[Bahseph]

No Nortje has been promoted StephenZA! Haha.

 

[91Jmay]

Sheesh Wood has bowled well today. Used the crease beautifully,

 

[Howe_zat]

Well that is a match and series winning session, but it's passed without much comment as it's been a bit of a damp squib.

You really felt the match shift during that Wood-Broad partnership. SA deflated completely after that.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

the name of the new bowler comes from Nortier, although this probably isn't a guide to how it's pronounced (see Doppies la Grange for why)

The Cricviz Analyst has noted Wood's nut to dismiss Malan is the second fastest ball recorded by an Englishman to take a wicket, at 94mph.

Spotter's points to anyone who guesses who bowled the quickest.

Devon Malcolm at The Oval in 1994?

Was my guess too, but no.

Harmison?

Does the qualifier 'Englishman' exclude Simon Jones? Might've been one of his from about 2004.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Archer v Smith last summer.

I'm assuming not, but the analyst does say "Englishman" not "England player", so maybe?

Archer v Smith last summer.

Nope, but see above!

 

[wpdavid]

Archer v Smith last summer.

Did Archer actually dismiss Smith at all? I know he didn't at Lord's when he felled him with that bouncer.

 

[wpdavid]

Willis?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Willis?

Afraid not.

As a clue, he was a sometime CW whipping boy for a while.
