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

[evertonfan]

Useless nob. We needed you to bat on ffs. Serves him right for getting selfish and playing within himself when he got past 94. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if we didn't make 300 now.

 

[Fatal Shot]

How small is this ground on the sides? I mean come on... England's hitting sixes like it's the easiest thing in the world.

 

[angryangy]

Even if they just get 300, I would say that's a bit of a failure. Should be 320+ with the sloggers they've got in the shed.

 

[evertonfan]

I wouldn't even feel safe with 350. If we can bat like this on this pitch I dread to think what the likes of Gibbs and Smith can do to us.

 

[Howsie]

Wayne Parnell sure is a wicket taker isn't he.

 

[evertonfan]

Oh surprise surprise. Another England batsman doesn't make three figures and last the innings. Joke team.

 

[King Pietersen]

What on earth is going on? Just got in from some family meal to see us performing decently with the bat again. Shah showing some form with 98, 82 for Colly and Morgan's going along nicely. Get to 300 and we've actually got a chance of winning our first 2 :laugh Who'd have thunk it?

 

[Dare]

what happened to Prior?

 

[Howsie]

If England only make 300 I wouldn't bank on them winning this tbh, it's a 320+ pitch.

 

[King Pietersen]

Eoin Morgan's awesome. Was unsure of his selection, given his meager record for Middlesex, but he's really stepped up against the best sides and made runs, and at a good pace too. Looks like he's going to be a top class finisher for this side. Get KP and Fred back into this side, replace Prior with a proper keeper-batsman and get Trott in and we'll have a genuinely competitive side.

 

[Fatal Shot]

340 to be safe. We bat till 10. Parnell can score runs as well.

lovely battin from morgan

 

[King Pietersen]

That's mega unlucky for Wright. Worst way to get out that is. Brings RV King of Sixers to the crease though

50 for Morgan. Legend.

I meant RV King of Fail of course.

 

[patrickF690]

bopara is poor

 

[Themer]

Brilliant knock by Morgan this. Has played some glorious shots throughout his innings. Bopara gone now should have been hitting singles giving Morgan the strike rather than teeing off second ball.
