1st Match - England v South Africa at The Oval

[SeamUp]

Excitement is real.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Pretorius over Morris a touch surprising. Not that I especially rate either.

 

[mr_mister]

What an insane line up. I'll close my account if England miss the semi finals

 

[SeamUp]

Bowling first helps Pretorius. But they clearly hoping Pretorius can bowl wicket to wicket because we know how dangerous width is at the Oval. Just that with his lack of pace guys can take him down town.

Hope Pretorius opens with Ngidi.

 

[mr_mister]

What will SA be chasing here?

400? 500?

 

[Zinzan]

What an insane line up. I'll close my account if England miss the semi finals

Careful, don't be an RTB.

 

[Zinzan]

Holy shizzers England, even Liam Plunkett batting at 11 averages nigh on 20 with the bat with a SR of 100.

 

[mr_mister]

careful, don't be an rtb.

rtb?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Beat them in 2011

That's right. England had some interesting pool play results in that tournament

 

[Fuller Pilch]

So is this a chasing ground?

Much early movement expected?

 

[Zinzan]

rtb?

RossTaylorsBox - a regular chatter here who was so adamant Hillary would win the 2016 election, that he vowed to quit posting if Trump won. Fair to say he lived up to his word.

I feel my bet is more of a sure thing, ha

 

[mr_mister]

Starting with Immie.

Glorified t20 here

 

[Howe_zat]

Starting with spin to Roy is smart in T20. But in ODIs it feels unnecessary, he nicks off early too.

 

[ajdude]

wow huge

 

[Howe_zat]

I mean yeah. It makes sense.

 

[Starfighter]

Brilliant start by England. So much for being aggressive.
