***Official***Match #20- England vs S Africa - October 21st - Wankhede (D/N)

[Owzat]

A good result there for England, just one run off that over from Atkinson off the last ball and it allows Jansen to keep the strike.

yup, like battle of Isandlwana, the last British soldier standing bagging himself a zulu, result

Klaasen looks like an elder cousin of Bairstow. Also like a Wild West Texas ranger ,if Chuck Norris played cricket.

 

[BazBall21]

England look exhausted. What a decision to bowl first.

 

[King Kane]

Even Klaasen looks exhausted out there, all these big shots are taking it out of him and he doesn't even have to run for them.

 

[Burgey]

yup, like battle of Isandlwana, the last British soldier standing bagging himself a zulu, result

Yeah this was no doubt the comparison which immediately sprung to everyone’s mind.

 

[James]

All this talk about the players struggling in the heat, has a match ever been called off/delayed due to excessive heat ?

 

[Burgey]

“Another England cricketer leaves the field” says Nasser, almost disbelievingly.

It looks ****ing terrible conditions out there but you’d feel more inclined to empathise if they also didn’t do it every fielding day of the Ashes as temperatures soared to 23 degrees

Heinrich Klaasen sounds more like a German-Dutch super warrior , Before World War 2 of course.

We played a game at Parra in the early 2000s when the temp reached 46 Celsius but it wasn’t humid.

It also wasn’t much fun.

Cricket NSW has since brought in playing conditions that if it gets over 42 or so they call the whole round off. Pretty soft imho. No wonder we run last in everything these days

 

[number11]

This is murder now.

Well if the "Dean Jones India test" wasn't called off I don't think an ODI ever would be

 

[Aidan11]

They're gonna get 400.

 

[number11]

Looking at 350 here.
This is carnage now.

 

[mr_mister]

Klaassen has turned into Klusener

 

[Starfighter]

Fell asleep and have woken up in time to watch Topley get absolutely murdered.

 

[BazBall21]

The bowlers and fielders have run out of steam. Klaasen can get them to 400 here.

 

[King Kane]

Klaasen is the new Klusener, just a brutal hitter.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Wood coming in this could get messier.

 

[ashley bach]

Klassen is in the zone, incredible the shots he can play with so little foot movement.

 

[Burgey]

The bowlers and fielders have run out of steam. Klaasen can get them to 400 here.

Topley should be pretty fresh shouldn’t he? He’s gone for 63 in seven and tbh his figures flatter him. Been gifted two poles off turgid filth
