No sixth bowler at all today for England. Dangerous tactic especially given the five bowlers selected. Suppose it forces Morgan to bowl Crane whatever. Interesting if a fast bowler goes down.

I can't believe that SA is taking this seriously with that team.... Parnell is the closest we have to a frontline fast bowler! Basically SA have picked 3 medium pace all-rounders and 2 spinners, with Behardien and Smuts as backup! As for the batting you have ABdV and Miller. Rest are at best possible good FC batsmen. Maybe being unfair on Reeza.. but still.

They probably want to keep their talent away from county scouts.

De Villiers' fifty up with a six off his 50th ball.

Very strange. Perfect for an ODI, but it's a bit late for that

So SA play 3 all-rounders batting down to 9... but fail to even attempt to score runs. Yes lets end this with a under par score and only 4 wickets down.

Don't think I've seen 'record partnership' and 'under par score' used to describe the same innings in a T20 before.

It's not much under par. But you would back England to chase this.

Yeah that was weird.

Bowling was good though, everyone fulfilled their role. Delighted with the Hampshire boys.
