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

There is no way there will be any dew.

Yeh, that's the point I was making as it isn't a DNer.

I was right, you were wrong. SA won that half hour and now are in control.

Nah, Eng were on top. Then they got owned with their **** defence technique and they stopped being on top. What i said wasn't false or relaly contradicting what you said.

For what its worth the betting odds are the same as the pre-match odds

Good point

And perhaps these two have worked out that there's no shame in just seeing Rabada off when he's bowling this well and we only have 5 wickets left.

 

[Tom Flint]

Given how young he has started his career barring injury he could go on to break all the fast bowling records

 

[Compton]

That's an absolute 'mare of a shot, Moeen. England needed this pair to see them through another 10 overs - even if it was at 5 an over.

And he's been trying to do that for a while. Not smart cricket. Yet again.

Apart from the poor fielding, not batting out 50 overs may well have cost us the last match, and there's a decent chance we'll do the same here.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Bring back tahir or rabada and finish this

 

[kykweer.proteas]

A gift.

 

[StephenZA]

Smart plan that

 

[wpdavid]

You'd think so.


EDIT
No need when they're stupid enough to throw away their wickets like that. Thick as pig-**** some of them.

And that's what really galls. It's one thing to be outplayed by Rabada in his sort of form, but when they play brainless shots like that, you just want them to **** off back to their counties and preferably stay there.

 

[Jono]

What a disaster

"Fearless cricket". Can result in 400+ scores, or 180/6. It's like the opposite of our post-2011 World Cup style..

Wonderful to see someone other than Root stand up among the rubble, gem from Hales.

Rashid can bat. Still a big score on for us here

It would be even more wonderful to see more than one batsman perform when it isn't an absolute road.

Abott is bowling well now... Wiese just some poor legside balls again.

We should try to get them out for under 220 if we want to be a top tean again.

 

[Tom Flint]

Lol

I'm not convinced it's unreasonable to see evidence of a Plan B when we're five down with 15 overs to play.

EDIT
Apparently I'm wrong. Ali, Woakes and Rashid all know better. And no doubt Broad will as well. Hales must be wondering why he bothered.
