***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

[Spark]

Root is on.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nah, England are likely to go under 275.

I'd take 225 way we started.

 

[Bahnz]

Think he got a frather on that, reckon Compron lucked out there.

 

[indiaholic]

Yes

It happens when the ball starts to swing.. The batsmen don't seem to react that early and the ball looks faster.

 

[Pratters]

Holding mentioned the pitch is on the slower side btw.

Be like lightning in comparison to the test pitches they played on in the last few months.

 

[weldone]

Yes

Steyn is not bowling at his best pace. He's into controlled aggression and relying mainly on bounce and seam and a little swing. He's very aware that he's coming back from injury. He's bowling under 140, and speedgun agrees with me

That's the difference between a champion like Steyn and someone not yet at that level like Boult.

 

[weldone]

Nah, England are likely to go under 275.

I entered the bet even earlier (as soon as Hales was out), so I get paid as soon as England crosses 265.5....It is 286.5 now.

You're still wrong because he said that Steyn looks like he's bowling quicker than 133. And he does.

Speed gun's are pretty unreliable. For example, they rarely ever take into account the facial expression of the bowler after delivery.

This.

Cook is obviously a top player but he really does have a padded record as any quick bowler of any talent dominates him consistently

 

[Pratters]

All three bowlers are so different, it's quite difficult to face them in tandem.

 

[weldone]

What does that mean? Facial expression only? Then my 10-year old neighbour also looks like he's bowling at 140 kph lol.

Not even close to being true.

 

[Spark]

Great shot.

 

[Pothas]

Joe Root.

Yeah, he's got out to Steyn four times in 10 years. Shocking.

 

[OverratedSanity]

It's quite incredible how almost every time Root and KW come in to bat, it's clear within 5 minutes that they're a level above their teammates. World class.

 

[Spark]

woah
