7 now. 50/50 ?

Pathetic by Pope.

Nice catch.

We may have this.

And over. Complete shitting of the bed.

Complete lack of dignity there.

Pathetic performance throughout the series and heads need to roll. Right back to the drawing board

Almost as pathetic as Boris Johnson

England boys just want to be back on the plane.

Maybe they could hop a lift with Djokovic?

{EDIT} F**k off ^^^^^^^

So one wicket away from a clean sweep, and yet I don’t feel we played that well.
Our bowlers did, but it wasn’t a batsman’s tour.

Including that idiot Giles!!!

Wood had clearly decided he'd had enough of the sh*t show.

Ah yes; but there's plenty of time for the current management & selectors to; improve, the batting lineup !

Typical Aussie arrogance.

Gower loses his calm:

Ah yes, those noted IPL stars <takes breath> Hameed, Burns, Crawley, Pope, Root, Anderson, Broad, Leach, Robinson, Wood and all the rest

English should get Novak Djokovic to open their batting. It took the Aussies two weeks to get him out.

Ah the old IPL excuse. They were not a lot better at the time when their players were the only ones that were not playing IPL. As if Australia (or any other cricket nation) do not have a bunch of players playing in the IPL either.

I assume it's part of a wider context of over resourcing pyjama format?

... Disgraceful!

1st ODI South Africa vs India in Paarl starting in 15 minutes. South Africa have won the toss and after Bavuma came over the shock of it, he decided to bat.

My wicket

No wicket......hit ground first

When you get those small shits that are fast between the wickets and go for everything like Bavuma you really have to be awake...

Zim beat Sri Lanka yesterday which is cool.

Soft dismissal De Kok....just lost his concentration there

markram is going to go out on a catch if he continues like that

And then he gets run out.....nooit man.........Bavuma must slow it down.......My eldest had a team mate like that which ran for everything.......would get team mates run out for nothing until one of the kids threatened to hit him on the head with his bat.....

Missed that last wicket.....anyone?????

Rassie and Temba doing the business now after a sluggish start.

Bavuma on 50 from 75...

our run rate has climber to 4.75

A bit of topic :

Maxwell has just gone mad and scored 154 of 64 in the Big Bash. Crazy numbers. AB de Villiers scored 149 of 44 against West Indies.

Van Dussen has really improved his game since he moved away from DP bats....
