[Cricket] South Africa V England 1st Test

[KZNSeagull]

And another from Ali. SA folding already

 

[Beach Hut]

138/7 you would have thought the Saffers might have at least tried !

 

[vegster]

Amazing demolition since Du Plessis...

 

[KZNSeagull]

Pathetic so far from the Saffers. Long may it continue! Expect changes for the second test, if they can of course, as it starts on Saturday.

 

[KZNSeagull]

And now Abbott gone as well. 143-8

 

[knocky1]

Anderson for Woakes.

155/9 pathetic

England win the first test by 241.

1-0

Pretty impressive performance all round.

 

[dazzer6666]

Superb team performance after losing the toss. Well played.

 

[topbanana36]

England win by 241.

Wow! Lets hope for consistency

 

[warmleyseagull]

Weirdly, according to commentary on SS, if England win 4-0 they hardly move in ICC Test rankings, just up to 4th equal, whereas SA would drop to 5th

 

[KZNSeagull]

Thrashed. That should shut the arrogant tossers up for a while at least. Great stuff from England and an impressive turnaround from their bad start on day 1.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

Great result for England. Really impressive all round performance. Good there's another test in a couple of days. Hope the momentum can continue.

 

[vegster]

Good job done this morning. Now on to Capetown!

 

[knocky1]

Never bet £50 at 1/3 before but it came in.
Early days for my £20@66-1 on a 4-0 Series win.

 

[Pavilionaire]

A great performance by Cook's men. That said, England's record in Durban is incredible - W6 D9 L1 - but beware the next two tests - we're winless at Newlands, Cape Town since 1957 and just one win at The Wanderers, Jo'Berg since 1957.

 

[knocky1]

Gloves going to De Kock for Cape Town to allow A B to concentrate on his batting.
