*Official* Double Match Day - South Africa v England (27th Sept)

[Scaly piscine]

Wouldn't they be pretty much in anyway if they won this one?
SA would have won one and SL would have won one.

Yes England are through if they beat SA or NZ (assuming NZ don't manage to lose to SL from their current position).

If England win both those games SL, SA and NZ will be tied on 1 win and it'll be down to NRR as mentioned earlier.

 

[Briony]

Gosh the SA attack is ordinary.

 

[superkingdave]

Parnell gets Collingwood with a wide one he drags back on to his stumps and Nick Knight praises him for bowling straight...

Cricinfo:

Update: Steve Davies, the Worcestershire wicketkeeper, is set to fly to South Africa as cover for Matt Prior tonight


Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss


And in other news England might win, again.

 

[Uppercut]

This is awesome from Morgan. Putting Luke Wright up the order was a good move too.

 

[Jono]

England playing awesome.

 

[Briony]

England has been dominating SA in ODIs recently.

 

[Athlai]

Morgan is the man.

 

[Jono]

Gosh the SA attack is ordinary.

Is playing ordinary yes. But its still a good bowling line-up.

 

[superkingdave]

Might take the odds on SA at the end of the innings if they are good, boundaries are pretty short, Onions Broad and Anderson could go far.

 

[Jono]

Australian fans (if any are still awake), is this being shown in Aust? Foxtel only showing SL vs. NZ match I believe

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah, 300 isn't the inconquerable total it once was. Has been hit three times already this tournament.

England are going well beyond 300 here though

Not being shown.

 

[Athlai]

26 balls, one of England's fastest fifties?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ravi perishes in typically dismal style. Poor bloke's in an awful trot just now.

Great stuff from our much maligned middle order tho.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Ugh let chucker Botha get away with a 1-4 (plus a leg bye) over.

Don't think it's being shown at all. Odd IMO.

 

[Jono]

Don't think it's being shown at all. Odd IMO.

Considering they showed Scotland vs. NZ at the T20 World Cup on Fuel TV... odd indeed.

 

[Pratters]

Ravi perishes in typically dismal style. Poor bloke's in an awful trot just now.

Yeah, couldn't help but feel for Bopara a bit the way he got out today.

Also, good to see Collingwood and Morgan play well. I have always rated Collingwood (don't know why he gets bashed on the forum so much) and Morgan has impressed me off late.

The South African faster bowlers were bowling a few full tosses to Morgan which was criminal but fair play to England. Have played superbly so far, has Collingwood and then Morgan.

Any way, my net connection is acting up, so probably won't be able to be online much over the next few hours.

26 balls, one of England's fastest fifties?

Tempted to say it's the fastest ever for England, not sure how to work statsguru to double check though.
