*Official* Match 21 - England v South Africa

[Burgey]

I kept telling anyone that would listen, that we'd beat them, but nobody would have any of it.

That's what the Irish fans said last week too

 

[Spark]

Really? Should have been Broad IMO.

For sure. Got the two huge wickets of Amla and Kallis who were looking peachy, and then finished it off when most required.

 

[Cruxdude]

Wish India had some knock out matches at Chennai. Think the pitch would suit us to a T and that too only if we drop Chawla for Ashwin.

Maybe. But Bopara deserves huge credit for top scoring on this wicket, especially coming in at 15 for 3. Without him, we'd not have reached 100.

Not even going to attempt a prediction for the Bangladesh game. Which one of Jekyll and Hyde will turn up?

 

[Burgey]

For sure. Got the two huge wickets of Amla and Kallis who were looking peachy, and then finished it off when most required.

Never mind this result, today's big news is I just flicked to the other game, and Sachin fielded a ball at third man

News at six.

Fair play to Ravi and all, but agree with Ed & Spark: Broad the man for me. 4/15, was it? Last two wickets with a single figure target needed. Top banana however you cut it.

 

[Howe_zat]

Confirmation that it's a batsman's game: Ravi Bopara gets it. Still, makes more sense than Tamim Iqbal's award, at least Ravi was facing good bowling on a tricky pitch.

Off less than seven overs. May I just say that I called that?

On a bowler friendly pitch you can'tcomplain if mom goes to a batter.


Any way back for Colli now?

 

[Blaze 18]

Haha, another choke. South Africa seem to have an unlimited supply of such games.

In all seriousness, this was a brilliant game. Full credit to England for pulling off a remarkable come-from-behind win. They were gone for all money when South Africa needed fifty odd with seven wickets.

Swann.

 

[Furball]

Another fantastic game, starting to develop a bit of a man crush on Bres.

He was fantastic, wasn't he? I used to think he wasn't international class, but he's certainly proven me wrong.

Can't believe he's lowered himself to bending over and picking the ball up off the ground. Who does he think he is?

I also heard Ponting broke a coffee mug. 6:30 report

Yeah Jesus my opinion of him has changed so much the last couple of months.

Pleased for Ravi as well, Mr Yardy still needs to go but going to enjoy this win for now.

Yardy.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

The only reliable batsmen in the Saffer line up is Amla. Smith and Kallis have been out of form in the ODI's for a while now and De Villiers is a FTMB (flat track minnow basher), where one of hundreds came against the dutch. And we all know about the rest of their batting line up.
