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

[Preed]

Can’t agree more about Butler being uninspiring captain.He will probably score less than 20 again.i know it’s tough conditions but Englands bowlers are so gutless.Can’t imagine happening under precious captain Morgan.Old boys network to be stopped now.We have no hope of reaching last four
India and Australia will murder this bowling although we will be out after today in truth

 

[Starfighter]

This is also a bit of a contrast with our lower order's efforts yesterday.

 

[James]

Fantastic hundred from Klaasen. Incredible hitting.

Would like to see a rule introduced to avoid these constant stoppages for drinks, etc. Fatigue should be part of the game - keep things moving.

 

[andruid]

Has any defending champion ever crashed out in the groups stage of an ODI world cup?

 

[Gnske]

You didn’t watch the Aus-India semi final in 2015 or Aus-Eng in 2019?

2015 was eons ago and I'll be damned if I stayed up to watch a single game of the last world cup.

 

[Burgey]

I reiterate, leave Gussy out of Wankede

 

[Starfighter]

Has any defending champion ever crashed out in the groups stage of an ODI world cup?

SL in 1999, Australia in 1992.

 

[King Kane]

Has any defending champion ever crashed out in the groups stage of an ODI world cup?

Australia in 1992 after winning the World Cup in 1987.

 

[Gnske]

Mark my words, if SA don't win it this year its over and they might as well stop playing the game.

All that stands is a home side fuelled by toxic support and sheer nationalistic jingoism.

I think they don’t because dehydration etc can be genuinely dangerous. Frequently umpires will call extra breaks in these circumstances.

How can World Cup champions serve pies?

Four years ago champ

 

[Starfighter]

I think they don’t because dehydration etc can be genuinely dangerous. Frequently umpires will call extra breaks in these circumstances.

These breaks are often taken just as frequently when it's 22 and cloudy though.

 

[Pothas]

A really angry Bairstow double hundred coming up.

 

[Gnske]

Watching Englishmen get pumped should be a daily routine, like brushing your teeth ironically.

 

[kevinw]

A really angry Bairstow double hundred coming up.

More likely they will be bowled out for less than 200.

 

[number11]

England are not chasing this. Sadly.

 

[Starfighter]

This is incredible hitting, even when considering the fact the ground is the size of a saucer.

 

[StephenZA]

This team is already written off as an unlikely WC winner in SA. They were targeting the next WC from all appearances and decisions.

 

[King Kane]

Jansen is the new Klaasen.

 

[Burgey]

This is ****ing hilarious.
