Day and Night
Hello and welcome to Kimberley for this match between South Africa A and England. This is a warming up game for Michael Vaughan's England before the 7 ODIs against South Africa.
After a 4-0 thumping of the home side in the test series, England will be looking to continue their good form in the one day arena as well.
This will be an ideal match for England to fine tune themselves into ODI mode. It also enables them to give some of the other players a chance to play and be match fit.
South Africa A on the other hand have also a lot to play for. Two places are still remaining in the South African ODI squad for the Standard Bank ODI series, and a good performance here from the SAA players would give them a good chance to get those two spots.
Let us now have a look at the pitch and the conditions:
Now we know how the crucial the toss is a day and night game. So lets see what happened in today's toss:
Well, England won the toss and Michael Vaughan decided to bat first.
Lets now see how the two teams lineup for this game:
So Gareth Batty gets a chance to play in this game. James Anderson and Alex Wharf will lead the bowling attack, and England are going with no less than 8 batsmen in this match.
