England tour of South Africa, Test Series Thread

This is a pretty good score tbh ,which will get uneven as the game progress.

England chose to bowl considering how green the pitch was but they didnt Male it count at all

If they can cross 300, it will be advantage Saffers. Ben Stokes was having some fitness issues too, not sure how reliably he can bat 

[Stan AF]

284 all out.

Nortje has an opportunity to join Rabada to be the next great fast bowler for SA.

Philander gets Burns. ENG 11-1

Still a WIP.

 

Really impressed by his pace and bounce ... but needs to add other skills.

[Stan AF]

I can't believe Joe Root who made his debut only 7 years ago (India 2012) has already played 88 test matches.

[Stan AF]

Among the fab 4 he's the one who has played the most games.

Yes.

[FischerTal]

this is why its hard to equate saffa or pom fast bowlers with subcontinent bowlers. when you bowl on pitches like this, wickets will come much easier than subcontinent.

Yes.

I have my doubts.

Yeah but Kohli debuted a good 18 months earlier in west indies june 2011

[Frustrated]

Philander looks unplayable. Absolute Peach .

[putrevus]

Nortje has serious pace but what is his stock delivery?

[Stan AF]

151/6

[Stan AF]

176/8

Butler out cheaply again. England need a better keeper bat. And not someone like Olly Pope who is horrendous with the gloves
