*Official* England in South Africa 2019/20

Personally have argued the case for Curran recently, but with no Archer we need a pace replacement Wood, & the view coming from the camp was that England would play both Broad & Anderson plus a spinner Bess. If Curran for Wood then we have no pace. We'll find out in a moment.

wait so wood was never going to be available for selection until the 3rd test at the earliest?

they reckon a bloke with his injury record and infamous inability to bowl to his much vaunted top speed was going to walk into the 3rd test after not playing since the world cup final and cut it?

lol this ****ing team

Oh ffs Pietersen as commentator... will change to the Afrikaans commentary when he is on. Haysman is bad enough.

I would love/hate to see his recent toss record.
I'm not sure if there's an easier way of doing it, but you can get it by looking at his matches as captain.

In the last two years he's won in 6 times and lost 11 (adjusting for the match in which Bavuma called the toss).

In the past 12 months it's won twice lost five times.

****ing Philander. This opening pair are the thing of nightmares as an England fan. Going to be at least once in this series where we get skittled for sub 100.

I would pick Malan for sure. Looks suited to International Cricket.

Important spell here for 5110.

Shows how bad we are that we have a team relying so much on a bloke who is nearly 34 and averages less than his age but is one of the few players we have who looks capable of batting more than a session.
