***Official***Match #20- England vs S Africa - October 21st - Wankhede (D/N)

[mackembhoy]

Did india not allow the Barmy Army into the country? Haven’t seen the usual cut away shots to the ****wits in the crowd, or heard the idiot on his bugle.

Ditto all the Aussie fanatics

They always look like a bunch of Gammon British folk off to Benidorm.

SA are not out of the woods just yet

A lot of these England players were part of the side that chased down 230 odd at the T20 WC vs SA at this very ground in 2016 , so chasing a huge target is not something new to this England side.

US college sports have semi-regular heat stroke deaths, it’s probably something cricket would prefer to avoid.

Wow, didn't know that about US college sports.

Klaasen went down about 3 or 4 times I think it was. If there were health concerns he should have been pulled, rather than the game being stopped as a result. Personally I consider it an unfair advantage that the batting team gets in that situation.

 

[thierry henry]

why?

Why not?

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Very late on this but Livingstone dropped is a surprise. You'd think he'd be the sort of player we'd want chasing 400.

This would be true if we were a side with the type of togetherness, leadership and confidence of the Morgan era. I'm sorry but I just don't see that atm. Not sure what has gone wrong exactly, various reasons I guess, but this side looks a shadow of the one four years ago.

 

[King Kane]

If England can chase down this total it will be one of the greatest ODIs of all time but with how this WC is going they will probably lose by 100+ runs.

Then Jos Buttler will blame the dew for not helping them out enough in the run chase rather than his idiotic decision to bowl first in sweltering heat..

Yeah but guys like Ben Stokes don't need that kind of stuff to win games ...Also this is the same SA bowling attack that got absolutely smashed to pieces by an Australian grade cricket keeper and a tailender who had a HS of 5 before he met Rabada and Co , 105 in the last 9 overs by the Dutch ,who are also currently getting their asses handed to them by Sri Lanka despite all their unity.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Lol SA not even making 400.

Eng to win in 46th over.


Yeah I'm nuts

Yeah but it’s like with concussions, professional sportsmen just never voluntarily come off the field in that situation.

You’re probably right that it’s a little unfair. There should maybe be proper guidelines in place for drinks breaks in extreme heat, like they have now in soccer.

There are few things worse than organised supporter tour groups. They’re always a ****ing dirge

 

[Son Of Coco]

If Stokes conjures up what he pulls out in The Ashes, it could get interesting.

Yeah but if they get 230 here they’ll lose by 170

A draw?

 

[thierry henry]

Is there a way for England to chase this, with this team, with batting which isn’t utterly reprehensible? If so then I hope they win (it’s not possible)

 

[thierry henry]

If Malan doesn’t nick off soon then it’s off

 

[James]

Yes, that's where I'm coming from where rules need to be introduced.

It's a problem in the rugby as well, especially with South Africa. Count the number of times the South African forwards go down faking injury/exhaustion, etc in today's semi-final to slow the game down. That's what they do in every game against the ABs.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That's us out.

 

[thierry henry]

Well that was an over of utterly repugnant batting from Bairstow. Prospects for this innings are not good (England might win)

 

[ashley bach]

Just a flick of the wrists for six over deep square to kick off
