SA won the 2nd ODI and England currently batting in the 3rd are 116-4 in the 29th over.

Just quickly flicked onto it and looks tough scoring against spinners.

England have collapsed from 146-4 to 156 all out.

Both in this team and the Lions the batting looks really weak. Credit to Harry Moore who got stumped first ball!!

 

[FBU]

Pat Brown with 5/21 and Cook 2/31 the pick of the bowlers as they dismiss CAXI for 214.

Doesn't look the best of returns for Tongue and Bashir as the only previous test apperances in the squad.

How does Brown get 5 wickets?

I really don't know what's the point of taking 16 year old Rocky Flintoff on the Lions tour when he could be playing with the U19's in SA?

He batted #7 in first game but he's slotted in at #8 this game and doesn't bowl. It's like they made it a 13 a side game just so they could give Flintoff a bat?

Edit: and of course Fintoff now gets a ton batting #9

I'm slightly perplexed Vaughan and Ahmed are with the U19s and he is with the Lions. As them two have shown to be more than capable at a first class level and Flintoff hasn't shown that until now.

But Vaughan is an opening bat and decent spinner and Farhan is very much a 10/11 with the bat and very decent spinner. Whereas Flintoff has been batting 4-8 for Lancs, so somewhat of a slot into the Lions over them two.

Seem England have wanted Bashir to get a go in Australia before the Ashes rather than looking at the next cab off the rank.

You could have argued Flintoff pick being nepotism as his dad the coach. He's perhaps been picked on potential rather than ability by both Lancs and England. Think both probably feeling vindicated now.

That looks to be some knock too. 89 added for the last 2 wickets in which his partners made just 9. At least he seems to know how to farm the strike, unlike a female counterpart!!
