8th Match: England v South Africa (Group B)

[Params7]

Bye bye Devilliers.

 

[Fatal Shot]

Dammit... why can't they clear them. England did it so damn easily... Duminy better step up for sure now.

 

[pcfan123]

This one should be ours, ABDV gone, dont see Duminy doing much, he looks out of sorts

 

[Fatal Shot]

Great point by Bishop on commentary. All three have been out by playing the pull shot...

 

[Params7]

Smith needs to anchor the innings. He gets out its pretty much over.

 

[Fatal Shot]

Duminy can attack. We saw it in the IPL, and this match has become very much a Twenty20 now. We still have the big hitters in the shed, and a very good looking Smith at the crease. So I'm still pretty positive at this point still.

 

[Params7]

Yeah Eng were 145-2 at this point. This is like a repeat of yesterdays match. One needs to keep rotating the strike and the other needs to go for occasional boundaries whenever he can. 5 an over then 9 an over, repeat, and slowly get to the target score. Difficult but doable. Just make sure to not lose many wickets, those matter the most.

 

[Fatal Shot]

I said 160 off the last 20 was gettable on this pitch, and we have all three big hitters left, and a set Smith. We can do this God dammit.

 

[Params7]

159 required of 120, doable.

It'll be interesting how when they take the powerplay. It'll be good to take it around 38 or 40 overs, the moment to start hitting and taking extra risks, if they don't lose any wickets until then.

 

[pcfan123]

they might as well take it now, if they lose 1-2 wickets before taking the powerplay then it effectivly becomes a bowlers powerplay and the pressure become immense.

 

[King Pietersen]

Owais Shah. You twat.

 

[Params7]

ohhh boy that might cost England

 

[evertonfan]

FFS. Get him out the team already.

 

[Fatal Shot]

Oh thank God. But what is Smith doing? He just chipped it straight to him. That's his second life...

England's catches have been dropped, but their fielding has been top notch...

 

[The_gas]

England are determined to do this the hard way.
