I am so glad that ****ing hack doesn't swipe any more against us.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hint of Allan Donald about Curran, T's gather to my eyes.

His barber wants sacking though. Genuinely tragic Barnet.

 

[91Jmay]

For all the stick he gets Behardien delivers fairly well for SA doesn't he in T20?

 

[SeamUp]

This kids got the right attitude.

This must be a Fen-English misunderstanding, are you talking about his bowling?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Bit of pace about the boy for sure. Lovely nut, that.

 

[91Jmay]

Great nut that. Tommy Curran doing the job here.

 

[SeamUp]

For all the stick he gets Behardien delivers fairly well for SA doesn't he in T20?

Not enough. Scratchy run-a-ball runs in T20 usually.

Glad my critique is working for him here.

 

[SeamUp]

Take the run all day long.

 

[BoyBrumby]

This must be a Fen-English misunderstanding, are you talking about his bowling?

Nah, I don't think so. The "gather" is the point a bowler launches into his delivery stride, isn't it? I'm fairly sure I haven't imagined that.

Young Tom has the great man's wide elbows and same torso pump.

'He's not quite got it right, Chris Jordan'

We still get these euphemisms for 'bowled like a drain'

dot, dot wicket. I'm on good form today.

Eh, the rest of the line up sans AB and Faf are overrated so he has to repair quite a lot. The likes of Miller are big time flatter to deceive

The match was at dead evens on 365 just before de Villiers was out, then it dropped to 1.44 on England.

Would back us on anything up to 175 which will still need a good partnership to get

Decent call, that one.

 

[Howe_zat]

So 175 after all. I'll agree England are favourites from here, but SA could easily out bowl and out field us today.

 

[91Jmay]

About 20-30 short of par but defendable with early wickets. Still back us as 65-35 faves.

He has got his chances and not taken them.

When Faf, Ab, Miller come off they can take the game away.

Behardien no thanks.

This SA set-up seems low on confidence and possibly lacking direction.

Would be a surprise.

 

[91Jmay]

Seems like Roy wasn't so much back in form as playing against Wayne Parnell

Would be a surprise.

No worries Paterson will save us....
