Broady Watch out PF, I only need 3 more!

Well done Broad, not going to comment on the fielding last over, not enough swear words in the world, tbh.

Gun is australian for "Jolly good"

 

[chalky]

WTF is going on I very rarely use this word but DIRE fielding.

 

[pasag]

Oh ffs cmon, gone from watching Australia catching everything in the park to this. Such a massive contrast.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Gah! Another drop. Our catching has been on the dire side of ordinary today.

Fred to bowl last over.

 

[grecian]

Englands fielding has giving SAFricans a chance here, pathetic

 

[stumpski]

Despite all the big hits and missed catches, it looks as if we're going to keep them down to a chaseable total.

 

[chalky]

South Africa get 154 gifted 30 runs by England with the abysmal fielding.

 

[Raghav]

Well done NZ great fight back, India can only blame themselves.

YES

What happened then? I was only able to follow the game on ceefax.

Even so, there seem to be some odd goings on. Snape as a 6th bowler always looked odd, and so it proved. And there was too much unnecessary chopping &changing afaics. with Dmitri & Schofield suffering from having to bowl single-over spells for no obvious reason. Plus 7 wides is completely unacceptable from guys who are supposed to do this for a living.

 

[Dubilog]

Thanks for the gun help!

 

[The_Bunny]

England did everything very well... except catch...
If it wasnt for that England would have been chasing somthing more like 130 odd.

I thought the constant bowling changes was good.. maybe one or two two over spells, but I think it doesnt allow the bastmen to settle and in this for of the game that is so important.
Aus did the constant changes to great effect v Bangladesh and England.
Allthough there where a few two over spells in those games

Put down at least 5 chances one of them was Morkel who went on to hit three 6's in the next 3 balls arfter the drop (actually wasn't even a drop 2 fielders put each other off and neither laid a hand on it). Boucher & Kemp both scored boundries after being given chances Boucher dropped twice in 2 balls.

 

[chalky]

A dilemma now do I go for a Chinese or watch the England innings?

Think I'l watch the cricket for the time being

ffs. Good job I wasn't following it properly. Bloody amateurs.

 

[chalky]

Useless Wright gone for another duck. Just need prior out now & then the proper cricketers can start playing.

Anyway should be fun with KP in now.

 

[pasag]

Wright gone for a duck, beginning to agree with Chappell about proven performers in other formats> domestic specialists.

 

[Dubilog]

Stunned!
