*Official* South Africa vs England (3 ODI):Jan 27-Feb 04, 2023 in SAfrica

[ashley bach]

Just started watching 10 minutes ago, only just realised it wasn't a 20/20.

 

[ashley bach]

Nice to see Jofra back in the fray, it's been awhile.

Looks an absolute road of a pitch, SA will be looking towards 350 here I reckon.

Stone comes on and we get a wicket

South Africa will just get around 200.

Reckon they're well behind after that wicket, needs a big innings or two.

 

[StephenZA]

Markram is quickly turning into one of the most disappointing cricketers of high talent that SA has ever produced. Becoming worse the Duminy, and that says a lot.

 

[Ashes81]

350 looks a long way off now as we've bowled really well here with Curran, Rashid and now Stone.

I still think this is a belter of a pitch and SA are in trouble here.

 

[ashley bach]

Really dried up here after such a brisk start, will be doing well to get 300 now, partnership what S.A require now.

 

[Howe_zat]

If the pitch is expecting a big score then you feel 130-3 approaching the halfway point is pretty chasable.

Both sides are playing bowlers at 7 so I don't think there's likely to be a lot of 350+ walloping in this series.

 

[ashley bach]

Anyone have a reasonable idea why S.A @135/3 after 25 are warm favourites? Currently 1.67.
@chris.hinton may be rolling in the money today.

- they're playing at home
- this is becoming a fairly comfortable looking partnership with lots of rotating the strike, which is promising in the 27th over
- England have a short batting lineup

oh and Rashid keeps dragging it down

Apparently team batting first has a big advantage here, we'll see, gonna need a lot of dew I'd have thought. Yet as Howe says not a deep batting line-up.

 

[ashley bach]

Rassie really starting to chalk up quite an amazing ODI record now. Over 1500 runs and averaging over 71.

Probably because historically the avg 1st inning score is under 250 with the 2nd innings avg score genrally under 200...

The anti-Markram...

 

[ashley bach]

Just as S.A get on top they seem to lose a wicket. This partnership between RVD and Miller now seems pivotal with Parnell being next in.

 

[Socerer 01]

never would have thought Markram would end up being best in t20 5 years back. true successor to Duminy

 

[ashley bach]

Tough first day back in business for Jofra to date, will be interesting to see how his last 2 overs go. Could end with 0/80 or 2/65.

 

[Howe_zat]

This'll be a pretty solid but not very interesting total.
