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

[BazBall21]

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

It looks pretty horrible out there. Humid as well as baking. An astonishing decision to bowl first.

 

[Burgey]

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

It’s great isn’t it

 

[centurymaker]

Klaasen is the new Klusener, just a brutal hitter.

Crazy good

They’re saving ODI cricket

 

[Prince EWS]

They’re saving ODI cricket

They're winning the moral World Cup.

 

[ashley bach]

Wood has been really poor so far and should be keen to make amends.

 

[King Kane]

Klaasen and Miller murdered the Aussie bowling attack in one of their warm up ODIs in South Africa recently, some of the best hitting I have seen.

 

[number11]

Raw pace is just travelling here. Wood today, Rauf yesterday. Getting slayed like Buffy was about. These are roads.

 

[Uppercut]

Klaasen’s helmet is like a water feature.

 

[Starfighter]

It’s great isn’t it

TBH disappointed they haven't done even better than they have.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Carnage. Wood is just so damn predictable.

 

[StephenZA]

Jansen seems to have excellent eye hand coordination… he just looks so ungainly.

I don't think it's possible for someone of his height to not look ungainly.

 

[centurymaker]

33 degrees out there but feels like 39 degrees due to the humidity

 

[Son Of Coco]

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

Yeah, we played in Dubbo between Xmas and NY in 2005, and it was 42/43. Wasn't so bad though as it was a dry heat.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Eng’s gonna win this

 

[ashley bach]

That's a shocker from Willey

 

[BazBall21]

Basic contextual thinking. They will have vastly the better of the climate if they bat first. England seem to have abandoned contextual thinking at the toss. Reminds one of the Root/Silverwood era in tests. Rigid and can't adapt.

 

[slowfinger]

England once again bowling garbage. They could be looking at an early exit as soon as the next game if this keeps up.

 

[King Kane]

I've got a feeling that Buttler might be regretting sending South Africa in to bat right now.
