Mar 6 - England v South Africa

[Owzat]

IF England do win this game will it be more by luck than judgement..............? Two bowlers have taken 2/12 off four overs, Strauss seems more wrapped up in who is a spinner and who ain't.

I mean who would put part-time spinner KP on before Anderson or Broad - especially with seven wickets down?!?

Strauss is THE man!! what a fantastic strategy.

Cricket Q&A.

Reporter : when you have your opposition on the mat, what are you expected to do ?

Strauss : Bring on my Part-timers.

As I said earlier, tie anyone?

 

[angryangy]

tie everyone

They said on TMS that Yardy didn't even bowl for Sussex in FC cricket last season yet he appears to be Strauss's secret weapon to win the WC.
Can't complain about how exciting the England games are though.
Yorkers needed here; hopefully Jimmy and Bres can get it together.

It is a by-product of the blight on the sport that is T20 cricket, before that format of the game came along cricketers like Yardy Sticks and Luke Shight would not have gotten anywhere near the England side.

As TMS have just pointed out, you don't put a left-hander at third man when he has to run to his RIGHT Captain Clueless strikes again, I'm guessing if nine were needed off the last over that he'd toss the ball to Yardy

Look what happens when they pitch the ball up, they get a wicket!

 

[Owzat]

And if neither Yardy nor Pietersen had bowled, both effectively part-timers, then you could knock almost half the runs off the Saffer total.

Finger's up, Steyn is using a review to try and save his skin. Understandable BUT that is the second time a review has been used as much for the innings situation as for knowing it isn't out for sure.

 

[barmyarmy]

9 down. Bloody hell England. Making this WC by themselves.

Look what happens when they pitch the ball up use a decent bowler, they get a wicket!

England win and SA choke yet again!

 

[barmyarmy]

Unbesoddinglieveable.

 

[Auwais]

That's gotta be game over, surely?

Edit:
