Proteas getting ready for direct Flight to india but you never know if they Docked even 1 point for Slow over rate they might not Qualify (need 109 point even for Qualification) even after beating Eng 3/0 & Netherland 2/0.

I think 2nd ODI in on going they gave many overs to pace bowler, After the series we will know.

Sam curran 1st time ever gets Demerit point in his career. He should be careful regarding respectful behavior on field

Hard not to on this pitch, seems impossible to play any kind of attacking shot without getting out. Can see why Buttler looked rather down at the toss.

I know this is a strange thought... but can always put the attacking shots away!?

Yeah it looks seriously difficult for batting. England just need to hang in there and battle it out for now. Who knows maybe 200 could be competitive.

Not true, Chasing not as difficult as First power play on 1st innings.

If you loose 3 top player in 1st power play
You are done at Kimberly take my word
Reza Hendriks will whack english bowling today.

Don't win many ODI's with that strategy. Average 1st innings score here is 228, so maybe something just north of that could be defendable, but looks a tall order making 180 on this pitch unless it becomes easier to bat on.

14 previous ODI's here, 11 won by team batting 2nd. Of the 3 that went the other way, 2 of them were defeats for Kenya and Namibia in World Cups against bigger teams. So you could argue that NZ beating SA here in 2013 is a monumental effort.

It really does look like England are in for consecutive series whitewash defeats then. Wish I knew this stat at the start of the match when England
were 1.75 favourites.

Yeah, once you know who won the toss you could make quite a bit of money. These two sides seem fairly evenly matched, so a toss of this magnitude was a game changer.

Strangely enough the price hardly changed after the toss. Will remember this for Kimberley next time.

Buttler with a nice 50... almost as if getting yourself in on a difficult pitch is part of the game, rather than just swinging from ball one.
