England Cricket - Tour of South Africa 2016

[spikeyhead]

I finally get all the urgent stuff for today done, look at the score and in a couple of minutes we lose two wickets.

Perhaps I should do some more work

This England side are sending me to sleep and I have a full set of finger nails going along very nicely now

[hornetrider]

I take it you're busy back at work now. They're clubbing it around for fun after a quiet period. Have to target 325+ from here.

[spikeyhead]

Just back from buying toys.

Seems like we should have a fairly even contest unless we can pick up some wickets soon.

Fun fact for all you stats fans...Root has as many ODI hundreds in the last 12 months as Bell got in 161 ODI's.

A sorry start for us!

Looks good for Ali & Rashid later then.

[spikeyhead]

Doomed, doomed I say

[FourWheelDrift]

Just put up the average 1st innings score there is 230. That's low, so no major panic.

151-6 after 33 overs

[hornetrider]

Oh Woakes! That was a bloody wide!

Decent rearguard here, hope we don't run it now.

[steelbreeze]

Thank goodness for Root. And why they keep selecting Morgan is totally beyond me.

[hornetrider]

If we ever needed one of Broads cameos now is the time.

[spikeyhead]

Doomed, doomed I say

[Gargamel]

Hopefully Broad will run through them ?

Bit of a sorry innings really. Still Root shows once more there is more to cricket than being a "destructive" hitter

[Baron Greenback]

Strange wickets being pink also! Good bowling, hope De Villars is out soon and getting into the tail enders!

[hornetrider]

63/3 decent contest.

[spikeyhead]

Saffers 7 down now, could we snatch a victory?

[hornetrider]

Not dropping dollies and bowling pies, no

[skeggysteve]

Who said cricket was a boring game!

[Baron Greenback]

Drat Stokes out! Come on Hale bat an innings your gran/us would be proud!
