England v South Africa, Limited Overs, 2025.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Maybe it'll turn for the part timers. Or hold up in the pitch.

[andy]

Breakthrough! Archer gets rickelton! 73-1

[Arthur Crabtree]

Now Rash gets one. Should slow their momentum.

[andy]

Run rate has dropped below 5...breetKe struggling 2 from 10...Rashid all over the batsmen!

Typing that Rashid gets markram! 93-3

[Arthur Crabtree]

Rashid all over the batsmen!

Um, like a Rash?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Leaving it late to introduce the fifth bowler.

[andy]

Expensive start from bethell 7 runs coming from his first over....Rashid switching ends..odd..considering he has 2-17 from 5 overs at his original end

[andy]

Leaving it late to introduce the fifth bowler.

Genuinely think brook should consider bringing himself on....ball is doing plenty for the seamers I fear bethell will sit up and be hit on this lord's pitch....he is a useful option and a 4th seam option is needed out here

[andy]

150 up after 30 overs....gonna sound like a broken record but the balance is so wrong...3 spinning all rounders on this deck is pointless....overton would have been the better pick in these conditions...it's all gone flat and these two starting to cruise now

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bethell is barely a sixth bowler. Need to downgrade his status to bits and pieces.

[andy]

Inconsistent same with his batting...hasn't played enough and is rusty...if jack's goes the distance then brook has big problems...as all 3 seamers have already bowled 7 overs as has Rashid....

[Arthur Crabtree]

SA only coasting though. But too many wickets in hand.

[andy]

240-4 with 10 overs to go....bethel back on

[Arthur Crabtree]

Might give Honest Joe a couple.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Maybe the part timers shouldn't be left with 4 out of the last 10!
