WC 2019 | Match 1 | ENG v SA | London | 30 May 3:00 PM IST

[I6MTW]

WC has barely started and Archer already justifying his inclusion and bringing ENG right at the top. 

 

He's the player to watch out for.

[Austin 3:!6]

Ball always does a bit at the afternoon in Oval. Teams should always bat first there.

[Forward Defence]

Match is essentially over. Dont see South Africa winning it from here.

[Lannister]

Archer will play the role of Starc. This is England's tournament. 

[rageaddict]

If De Kock and Dussen can milk the spinners for a few overs they will be back in the match. Atleast push the score above without losing any further wickets. 

[RAZPOR]

We made a mistake by not getting saini in there ,pace can be a real weapon these pitches.

[Laaloo]

Good counter attack by kock

[putrevus]

Chasing 300 plus is not easy.England recently have made 300 look like 250 but for other teams 300 is still a big score.

[rageaddict]

Amla might need to come out if SA have to make a match out of this. Duminy,  Pretorious,  Phenulwayo hardly inspire any confidence .

 

Someone has to get a big hundred,  most preferably De Kock for SA.

Dussen SR will put even rahane's to shame. Jesus. I hope the guy will accelerate cuz this is just bad.

[Nikhil_cric]

Moral of this story is you should never let England bat first no matter what. In the unlikely event that you do restrict them to 320 odd, their spinners will get purchase on a wicket that has been used for 50-60 overs . I hope Brainless Kohli, grandpa and fat shastri don't try anything stupid like that. But of course .....

[rageaddict]

SA don't have the firepower to score 100 runs in the last 10 overs. All the acceleration needs to be done in the middle overs. And target around 75-85 runs in the last ten. 

[maniac]

vvs laxman is difficult to hear on the dugout

 

[rageaddict]

If De Kock is dismissed now it will be game over.

Learnt the art of building the innings opening the batting from Chanakya 

[Forward Defence]

Magnificent shot from DeKock for six

[rageaddict]

Dussen joins the party now

[Forward Defence]

Its gone a bit cloudy now. Time for Stokes maybe?
