5th Match - South Africa v Bangladesh

[_Ed_]

Biffing the ball at Tamim was kinda unnecessary.

 

[trundler]

Fitting reply.

 

[Athlai]

Ngidi moved from imploding to exploding there. Total numpty

 

[MrPrez]

Biffing the ball at Tamim was kinda unnecessary.

Yeah, his emotions getting the better of him at the moment. Needs to get his head back in the game.

 

[trundler]

Turning into a proper thrashing now. You drop him and he'll make you pay

I don't know why cricketers guiding the ball down to third man with a cross bat don't hold the back of the bat like a baseballer bunting the ball. It offers so much more control.

Awesome start here

Is that within the rules though?

 

[Daemon]

Omg that guitar thing fmd

 

[Stefan9]

Mistake bowling first?

Faf's catch there early on, poor from him bailing out. Left markram no chance.

 

[SeamUp]

Well done Andile. Finally someone bowling where you meant to be on this pitch v Bangers.

 

[MrPrez]

Good stuff from Andile. Great ball.

 

[StephenZA]

I`m not actually liking the game plan with Ngidi. Obviously been told to bowl short at the batsmen which has not what has bought his success. He has been accurate slightly back of length at off stump and been successful. Even the not quite dropped catch was a result of a better pitched delivery.

And Phehlukwayo produces a dream delivery.

 

[stephen]

Is that within the rules though?

Why wouldn't it be? I think I've seen some batsmen play the ramp shot that way.

Also, the change of bowling does the trick.

 

[Athlai]

I mean no, they don't. Our batting is weak but it's still better than a middle order of batsmen who average mid-30s with strike rates under 80.

Poor take imo. Bangers aren't as average as their stats suggest. Gotta keep in mind some of these blokes played international cricket way before other countries would've debuted them, and their stats suffer from it. Their current skill level is higher than stats alone would make you think. Still don't quite agree with Saffas batting being worse, particularly in England.

Yeah might be unfair with the stats thing. But I reckon every single one of our batsmen would make their starting line-up, whereas the inverse is definitely not true.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Shakib is an ATG but needs to prove it today at 3. 80+ is needed. Anything over 280 on a used pitch with Bangladeshi spinners it is game on

Nicholas shut up
