*Official* England in South Africa 2019/20

[Spark]

I mean there have some weird Hawkeyes today (in Melbourne) but surely that is stone dead.

Review of desperation. Markram needs time at domestic level.

 

[Tom Flint]

Worst review I've seen, considering he is half fit anyway with a dislocated finger

 

[trundler]

Pretty bad review. Great ball though.

 

[kingkallis]

Markram must go back to domestic. Why cant they play straight!!!

 

[trundler]

Broad from around the wicket. Exciting.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Need 5 wickets before the close to even give us a remote chance.

 

[Tom Flint]

3,4 and 5 all threw their wickets away after making a start.

Denly threw it away?

 

[Tom Flint]

Yes I'd say so having just reached 50 he would be disappointed to get out like that. Not as bad as root or stokes though

 

[Tom Flint]

So many wasted deliveries here angling down leg from broad and anderdon

He’d be disappointed to get out any way. Getting out is disappointing. Great bit of bowling though.

Having not followed his career too closely I’m a bit surprised Elgar doesn’t average more.

Dammitt Hamza.

He's really good, but in the middle of a long-ish slump which can't have helped his average.

 

[SeamUp]

Our batting is so poo and so frustrating.

Can we squirm to 300 ?

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah even now it’s not the worst. Opening in SA is one of the toughest gigs around. But for a good while it felt like he was top scoring almost every time I checked a SA scorecard.

There he goes.

 

[ImpatientLime]

ooph that took off

 

[Uppercut]

Elgar sort of flinches across. If he doesn’t then it whacks him on the chest off the inside edge.

Elgar went though about an 18 month period where he avg around 50... think he was top runs scorer in 2016/2017 or something like. But either side he has avged under 40. Never quite found true consistency.
