[Cricket] South Africa v England T20 - Cape Town K.O. 4pm

[Is it PotG?]

Stokes back in the fold, should be a good 'un.

 

[crodonilson]

These are an important set of games, less than a year out to the next WC. Heard Morgan waffling on yesterday about how he didn't have a clue what his best team was, which is embarassing really 12 months out from an already delayed WC.

 

[knocky1]

WR 105 from 66 balls for Smith V India just now.

 

[The Wizard]

Kick off 4pm?

I expect the NSC thread title police will be here very shortly.

 

[zamora the merrier]

Really looking forward to this - love watching England abroad. I am expecting a comfortable series win

First time England have got their full strength white ball squad together since the World Cup last summer, a lot of potential battles for places (Bairstow, Malan, Root, Roy all up for grabs). Be interesting to see where certain players play, don't think England have ever considered Stokes as an opener but he did well there in the IPL, so now potentially there are 4/5 gunning for two places. Also be interesting to see whether Sam Curran (who would ordinarily not have featured in the reckoning for the team) gets a go after a pretty useful IPL himself.

Morgan wins toss and bowls.

Jordan AND Archer play.

[Beach Hut]

Staffers 26/1 off 4 overs

 

[Pevenseagull]

YES! Animals in the outfield.

Cricket is go!

no gesture of an attacking field in the early overs, an unintimidated SA slapping it around with carefree abandon... du Plessis nose bag on at the Curran buffet, 5th over 6.4.6.2.2.4 50/1 off 5 overs

 

[Is it PotG?]

Pitch not the quickest, not sure what's a good score here.

 

[Pevenseagull]

bookies have England 4/5 SA 5/4

nicely set up, I think this justifies a drinky

 

[Pavilionaire]

T Curren 4 overs, 1-55. Ouch! Archer's last over was brilliant, then Curran undid all his good work.

 

[Pevenseagull]

good start

 

[Is it PotG?]

Now 8/15 home win

 

[Beach Hut]

Buttler holes out

 

[Driver8]

Not going too well this.

 

[Is it PotG?]

9/2 England

 

[Pevenseagull]

well, at least if we win it will be more exciting now
