3rd ODI: South Africa v England at Cape Town, Nov 27, 2009

[Titanic]

Mahmood is the only option we have in that mould. Anderson, Bresnan and Broad just don't have enough variation of pace.

Well, Saj Mahmood would certainly provide variety.

 

[Perry Milkins]

I can't help but think our quicks just aren't quick enough. We need someone like Steyn or Lee to really get at batsmen sometimes.

Mahmood is the only option we have in that mould. Anderson, Bresnan and Broad just don't have enough variation of pace.

But Mahmood needs to be abale to bowl at the stumps...

 

[Stinky Kat]

Well, Saj Mahmood would certainly provide variety.

wides, beamers he has got the lot

 

[Brovion]

Well, Saj Mahmood would certainly provide variety.

Yeah, it's the cunning way he mixes up the long hops with the full tosses that keeps the opposition on their toes.

 

[keaton]

Mahmood is f***ing shite, Max.

Did Stuart Broad not give you a blowie back or something?

 

[Titanic]

Luke Wright STRIKES

[Titanic]

109-1 (19 overs)

Smith b. Wright 54

 

[Titanic]

145-1 (24 overs)

Certainly looking like a huge chase ahead for England... and under lights...

 

[CHAPPERS]

Bowlers not getting anything out of the pitch. I don't hold out too much hope of victory but if KP can get going you never know.

Trouble is I cannot remember the last time he 'got going'.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Is it going ahead? I'd presumed that the outfield would be overrun with baboons.

 

[Titanic]

WRIGHT strikes again... just back into the 'attack' and Duminy lifts a short one to mid-wicket.

217-3 (36.3 overs)

 

[Titanic]

250-3 (40.3 overs)

Looking like 320 at least... probably a forlorn hope of England chansing that down... but who knows!

 

[Simster]

250-3 (40.3 overs)

Looking like 320 at least... probably a forlorn hope of England chansing that down... but who knows!

It'll be nearer 350 unless they get deVilliers out very very quickly.

 

[Perry Milkins]

250-3 (40.3 overs)

Looking like 320 at least... probably a forlorn hope of England chansing that down... but who knows!

They have all got to chip in. Crucially if we restrict them to 300 or just over we may have a chance.

I think big Kev will scew up tho!

 

[Titanic]

Blimey... just switched back from Countdown... and de Villiers has 110*

294-3 (44 overs)

Strangely Bumble was commentating in Cape Town, I'm sure I just saw him sitting next to the lovely Susie Dent?!

 

[Titanic]

300 up... 31 balls remaining... not looking good
