South Africa v England 1st test - Centurion

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Bowlers cost us this game


Broad I reckon

Bowled fine this game from what I saw

5/100

This is really tame from England. Going down without a fight since Stokes was out

Why does Ben Foakes never get a mention as keeper/batsman these days

Think he had a pretty poor domestic season

575 runs @ 26.14

 

[Silly Point]

Why do I keep seeing that the bowlers have lost it for us? As per f***ing usual it’s the piss poor batting

Batted fine this innings, bowling was absolute shite in the 2nd innings

 

[Eggman]

We are making problems for ourselves with this ‘hanging back’ batting technique.

Playing from the crease to a good length ball is asking for trouble - albeit the bounce is becoming varied

Bowling is always off colour when the batters have failed like. They end up chasing wickets

f***ing hell Archer man. Catching practice

 

[Silly Point]

Silverwood was never the answer btw. Poor choice from Giles when Kirsten was available

Ill get pelters for this like but im really not a fan of archer. He comes across like he couldnt give a fuck

I tend to agree, but the guy needs more than 3 tests before he is judged. A lot of the shots today have been brainless

Very harsh. That's just his demeanour. He's a young lad learning on the job

Seems to get one boundary then out every time

Like a couple of others on here I’m concerned about his Mooresesque obsession with stats

Up hill battle bowling first again. This team needs radical change not another one of the lads As the man says, appointing Silverwood when Kirsten was available was poor.

His batting stats don’t justify his number 9 spot

 

[NorthCountryBoy]

George Dobell suggesting Pope and Bess to be in the side for the next test with two big names missing out.

Bairstow and ?

Surprised no one’s mentioned Jimmy. It’ll be one of him or Broad imo and Broad has done well recently.

He's probably the least worst of Broad, Anderson and him

Thought it was common knowledge that this place goes inconsistent as the test goes on or is it just me. Not sure what stats he was looking at but they’re obviously shite

Pathetic England

 

[SAFC 2012]

Ive never ever seen a team collapse
Like england like

 

[Silly Point]

Buttler obviously felt a little rumble in his gut...
