*Official* South African tour of England and Ireland 2022

[Magrat Garlick]

ngl i am enjoying the boerenseunkies plus Rabada and Ngidi absolutely remembering what Test cricket is

 

[BazBall21]

Played Anderson!

 

[Adders]

Not sure about Broad batting above Leach these days tbh

I'm not sure about Lees or Crawley batting ahead of Leach tbf

 

[BazBall21]

Rank SA, NZ, Eng and Pak in Tests

There was a sense of inevitability to it but KG is improving his Ntini-esque home/away split at a rate of knots this year. Follows up the big NZ haul with a terrific display here. Pace is back up and every ball feels like an event.

Needs that big subcontinent tour. Hopefully it’s coming.

South Africans are not playing subcontinent tours until 2025 as per Ftp.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Well done Rabada. Now hopefully SA to get through to lunch without losing a wicket. With Jansen at 7 they look a bit vulnerable (although England has Broad at 8).

 

[StephenZA]

Now the actual Test match can start... the real challenge for the SA team is their batting.

 

[BazBall21]

The man deemed undroppable is off to a flyer

 

[Calm_profit]

Broad must retire if he doesn't perform in this series.

I have tickets for Saturday at Lord's, not sure what poses a greater risk to actually seeing some Test cricket - the English weather or both teams' batting lineups.

 

[Preed]

South Africa move ball about England dead straight particularly Broad who must be on borrowed timeRobinson should have played but I am afraid that Stokes takes picking the same team despite constant failure .ie an opening bat who has forgotten how to last more than 4 overs.Broad now gives away boundaries when we need to keep it tight and does not help jimmy

 

[Preed]

It’s a shame to see one of englands greats come to an end but time has dampened Broad into an average trundler who Stokes still gives the new ball to And allows opposition to get away to a flier

 

[BazBall21]

There was a ball a few overs ago from Anderson to Elgar that was an absolute peach

 

[Chubb]

Another drop from the Golden Boy but not to worry, he’s great in the dressing room and we’re not looking for consistency from him.

 

[BazBall21]

I like how the commentators constantly try to talk him up as a fielder and he’s garbage there too.

 

[BazBall21]

We may not be looking for consistency from Crawley, but I would argue he is very consistent…

 

[BazBall21]

Could Kevin Pietersen today do better than Zak Crawley rn? I’m half serious half joking but a fair question.

KP would certainly think so. But probably.
