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

[ipl is fun]

i think its more pressure on England than SA. This would help SA as they get this out of the way first match. if they win, that would give them huge boost, if they loose, thats not end of it as they are expected to loose.

Not rooting for either. Expect England to win easily.

Just hope there are no frustrating rain delays.

With no cloud in the sky, there goes any chance of having a close game. If England bat first, they will win by 100 runs and if they bowl first, They will chase it with 8 wickets in the hand

Go Eng Go 

[prinzo]

Rassie van der Dussen is a good batsman

Match start has 1 hour to go

absolute abysmal attendance in the ground at toss time lol

[Forward Defence]

Fair and Sunny weather but some grass cover on the pitch. First few overs will be interesting. Lets see if Roy and Bairstow can do to Rabada and Ngidi what they did to Afridi,Hasan,Faheem and Junaid If England bat first that is

Miller left out for Van der Dussen, Virat should learn a thing or two here from FAF, zero fkcus given to experience

[Forward Defence]

South Africa have won the toss. They will field first. Rabada/Ngidi in action soon vs Roy/Bairstow

I would drop markram, promote van der dussen and get Miller in. Markram looks great when on song but has been very inconsistent recently

[Forward Defence]

No Wood. Wise move from England

Thank God two IPL jokers have been dropped from the team but Pretorius is even worse lol

Miller has not looked that great in recent past, good decision to drop him I think
