[Cricket] 1st ODI South Africa v England

[BensGrandad]

Bairstow back to normal after his century in the warm up game.

 

[Titanic]

Bairstow back to normal after his century in the run up game.

Not quite.. his T20I average is 26.21 at a strike rate of 134.

 

[vegster]

The Test series was on Talksport 2. Probably on that

Thanks, now on! It wasn't for the first couple of overs on my phone.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Saffers have a long tail today.

 

[Titanic]

Schoolboy running

Yes, wait, no, get back... sorry

83-3 (15.3 overs)

 

[Titanic]

It's all going horribly wrong

83-4 (16 overs)

Captain Morgan gone for 11 and South Africa as cock-a-hoop!

 

[The Wizard]

Strange pitch, slow and difficult to get it away powerfully but also not doing much.

 

[Titanic]

Big pressure on the much-vaunted debutant Tom Banton... cometh the hour etc...

 

[studio150]

Going well

Not relevant as this is a ODI (50 0vers) not T20. How we could do with Stokes now.

His ODI average is 47.68 and strike rate 104.07... so he was even further short of 'normal'.

So I was wrong in my wording, sorry, he was back to expected of recent times and again under performed.

 

[Titanic]

Two hundreds and two fifties in his last 10 ODI innings, and perhaps 2 failures?

Banton sweeping... big LBW shout... given... reviewed... and OUT on the umpires call.

England 108-5 (21.5 overs)

21.5 Shamsi to Banton, OUT, looks to slog sweep, struck on the pad, and given! Shamsi is off on his travels in celebration, Imran Tahir-style, but after a chat with Denly, Banton decides to review Struck on the back thigh, kneeling down - the same height as the knee roll on his front pad. Impact is umpire's call - only a tiny fraction away from being outside the line - and crashing into the top of off stump, which means Banton is on his way!

T Banton lbw b Shamsi 18 (24m 23b 3x4 0x6) SR: 78.26

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Looks like another series we start 1-0 down.. (I know there's a way to go)

 

[The Wizard]

Be lucky to get 200 at this rate

 

[BensGrandad]

Why did Banton bother to review that as he was obviously out.

[BensGrandad]

But enough and looked so obvious, but then you would argue the number of hours in a day

 

[CHAPPERS]

He was the last of the recognised batsmen and it could have been overturned. Correct decision to review.

Not to mention he needs game time.
