*Official* South African tour of England and Ireland 2022

[Tec15]

Good thing Mulder was brought in ahead of Ngidi for his batting. Looks like all his county hundreds are already showing themselves in his brilliant shot-making.

 

[TheJediBrah]

This is a great attack for English conditions

 

[Heboric]

Yay we made it to lunch, what a batting powa-house

 

[Calm_profit]

This Robinson will definitely going to be ATG if he takes 300 wickets

 

[Aritro]

NICE

 

[Spikey]

i've seen enough, time to bring back 3 days tests

 

[grecian]

Kp saying every edge has been nicked, rather being seen as a bit silly as something like 34% of false shots in the morning session, but hey he's an idiot, so nothing new there.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Looked down leg surely

 

[TheJediBrah]

Yep, that was a shocker

 

[grecian]

Yep, that was a shocker

It was didn't matter though .Zondo did okay in the circs, but decent 20sto not a Test career make.

 

[TheJediBrah]

This is worse even than any South Africa A side I've ever seen

It's been pretty great bowling for the conditions ,Broad really unlucky here.

Apparently foakes has the worst catch rate of any keeper to play more than 15 tests since his debut in 2018. Catch rate is still 83%, but jos had a catch rate of 90% in the same period. Didn't realise his catching had been that ordinary tbh.

I had realised it, hence my criticism of him before, but hey he can bat.

Hard to complain when the opposition are 100 for 8 but what is this short bowling nonsense? It never, ever works.

 

[Zinzan]

Brilliant England, Robinson's definitely got something

On here not only do we complain in such situations but we also pretend we're going to lose.

 

[Heboric]

Believe it or not, but I have seen worse by a much better line up

 

[grecian]

Should be fun us batting, the 3 day thing will mean we will be pure bazball, not sure how it will work in these conditions.

 

[GRAB]

May look silly, but can still see us getting a first innings lead if the cards fall right... Fighting from Zondo and MJansen!

Robinson has been England's best bowler by miles in both his tests; tell me was injured for test 1! Also, surely England know now never trust Broad with reviews...
