6th Match - England v South Africa (18th March)

[Black_Warrior]

This WC was always going to be the most difficult for England in Indian IPL conditions.

Are there any other main nations that have just 1 IPL player in the team?

There's one nation with 0 IPL players in the team.

$2.42 batting second seems tasty on England. PEWS tell me why that's not value

I think it's slightly overs but not enough for me to bother betting on. They have to be >41% of chance of winning to make it worth it and they probably are but I still think they're more likely to lose than not so meh. South Africa got their selection right and I have huge reservations about England's attack.

Pratters agreeing with me suggests I'm probably wrong, however.

Man that is some shot.

 

[Black_Warrior]

This pitch looks good. This will hold up.

Pakistan have 0 don't they?

Think Moeen would have been a decent gamble here at QdK.

If anything I'd perhaps wait for the first innings to be over and then bet on England. If they win it'll be chasing an above-par score IMO so they're likely to increase in value.

Couldn't be worse than what Topley is servinng up, getting horrible Denbach flashbacks here.

 

[LightningStrike]

Topleyyyyyyyyyy!

 

[91Jmay]

Some filthy wide **** there. Not a good start.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

This is easy picking.

 

[91Jmay]

Just to slow this. Two left arm medium pacers to a left hander is carnage. Might have opened with Stokes or Ali or something different.

 

[Pratters]

Did the computer tell them to bowl it a touch wide?

 

[LightningStrike]

Surely Topley won't bowl the 4th after this start...........

 

[Jono]

Eng $4.1 right now. I think I'll go at that then instead of the $2.42

 

[LightningStrike]

South Africa please declare.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Yep. I also feared they might pick Riley ahead of de Villiers. I like Riley and all, and I'm aware de Villiers has been pretty awful in T20Is, but that would have been madness.

Haha that would be crazy

Haha yeah exactly. They were always going to bowl pies IMO.

 

[Jono]

wahh Moeen

No, no, no. They will be 6 later and 8 later as well for all you know.
