Graeme Smith @GraemeSmith49
Batted at 3 faced only 28 balls and changed the game.imagine if he batted at 5???

I have assessed this performance and come to the conclusion that England aren't very good still.

Jade doesn't strike one as the overly reflective type, tbh.

If one didn't know you better I would say you were suggesting he was thick as pig-****e, in a tactful way.

 

[MW1304]

Seriously though, you deserve this kind of **** when you continue to make one of the most blindingly shocking selection howlers of all time. I mean we'd be conceding like 186 instead of 196 but still.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Surely Broad would of thought Dernbach + dew = absolute carnage? I know he's his skipper and obviously has ample faith in him (god knows why), and probably thinks he's the love child of Waqar and Wasim, but c'mon. It's a joke selection (but hilarious for us non-England fans to watch)

Keep trollin Smitteh

Punter speaks very well on the game, tbf.

He's freakshow short tho. He's supposedly, what, 5' 10"? Trescothick towering above him.

 

[grecian]

I kind of think we've got a chance here, Even thinking of backing them. Ball is really going to be bad for the bowlers, and fielders finding it hard to pick it up. Obviously though we're going to need a couple of special innings.

 

[BoyBrumby]

All out for <130, IMHO.

 

[Pup Clarke]

I just wanna see Steyn roughin these guys up

 

[Pup Clarke]

Should be interesting with spin first up. Isn't Hales not the best against it?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hales starting against spin is just cringe.

EDIT: Although that was better.

2nd EDIT: WTF do I know?

Jade Dernbach has the worst economy of all time in all of the international formats he's played in.

The man is a record-breaker, got to give him that. They should give him some Tests so he could break that record too.

 

[Cabinet96]

We have to give Morkel the Dernbach treatment.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I always considered Healy to be the worst comm out there.

However, Danny Morrison has made me revise this. Just uber bad. Makes Nick Knight sound like the bastard child of John Arlott and Richie.

Minimum matches for each?

My daughters find Moeen Ali's beard hilarious

 

[Pup Clarke]

The eagle eyed of you (well, just Grecian) would of noticed Moeen sipping on a Red Bull. Moeen's going to be buzzing when he's out there.

 

[BeeGee]

That wasn't a no-ball.

Hales to score a century.
