CRICKET SA vs England

[Arzy]

I don't know, not to take any credit away from our bowlers and our performance thus far, we've been doing brilliant, but I think the batsman in England have 1 good stand in them. It may just be that they decide to do it this time. If Vaughn can suddenly get some form we may be in for a very interesting match.

350 may be a bit high, but if they manage to get us out cheaply this morning, say a 50 run lead, then they only need to get to 250 to give us 200 to chase. It is mainly go to depend on what our lead is. As I said I hope we could get 125-150 lead, only then will they need to get to 350.

Regardless of which I still think we are going to have to bat again and then of course the weather may still have a large impact.

Boycott's mum isn't in the side, so don't see England getting 350.

nah, they will extend play at the end, but dont start earlier in Eng for some reason.

Seems like there is at least better weather today. Covers are off and players have gone back into the dressing room to get ready.

I see SA with a 1st innings lead of around 80-100. England 2nd innings no more than 320 leaving us a target of around 220-240 which might be challenging if we lose our openers cheaply and expose the middle order to the new ball but failing that Smith and co should knock that total off for 3 or 4.....

I'll play...

I see a lead of 120-140. Eng getting 220-260 leaving us about 100-130 to get. Eng manage to bowl well and make it difficult, but we manage to get it with 3/4 down with Smith making a scrappy 50.

 

[Devill]

I think poms will get a lead of 250-ish and we will get it with 5 down.

 

[WonderBob]

CR@P. That was silly from Prince.

I will adjust my lead down to 80-100.

Well now Boucher can be aggressive. Sehwag style and hopefully get a nice 50 or so.

It's a low-scoring match... Average scores are low and suggest that 250 is just about the average for the first innings. I was trying to say that there is no way that England can score 300 plus in their second innings, if the first innings is already so low. This is just my opinion though. Under better conditions, I think things would be different.

 

[WonderBob]

50 lead. Now double that!
