England tour of SA, ODI series, Feb 3-14

[backfootpunch]

mini collapse

could do with another partnership here

a ravi bopara esque innings from morgan

8 off 24

pitch doesnt look flat, anything above 290 should be defendable

[budgetmeansbudget]

Even without the cricinfo glitches that innings from Morgan was painful to follow.

He often starts scratchily but he can often get into rhythm after a few overs. Not to be today.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bit of a horrible dismissal too. Plenty of wickets in hand, but need these two to go into the last ten.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Ton up on Root 66.

Well done Joe.

[backfootpunch]

this is the worst i have ever seen tahir bowl with a white ball

whether it be for south africa or for warwickshire/hampshire in county cricket

[Arthur Crabtree]

Yes not much control on show. Maybe unsettled by how well England have played him over the series.

i would imagine facing rashid every day in the nets will have helped them when it comes to picking and playing the variations

[Arthur Crabtree]

Conceding nearly seven an over in the series.

[Alviro Patterson]

Way to go Ben Stokes for running out your batting partner

[Arthur Crabtree]

Rashid and Willey might try and nudge a twenty here, rather than hitting the skin off it.

[backfootpunch]

this should be enough

there is plenty there for the bowlers when they bowl cutters

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hussain's England cheerleading is getting so tiresome. It's relentless. This is what people complain about the C9 commentary for.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looks enough. No one's chased over 300 on this ground apparently.

Unless ABDV has a big day.

[sussexpob]

Another strong innings. A mix of sensible batting, but always really one of the batsman hitting it.
