England tour to SA: 2015

Mmm... I wonder when Morkel would retire if he was forced to be the backup bowler.

Morkel trying desperately to hang onto his place...

Well done KG!


Sure we can hope that Cook makes it till 40, but that doesn't happen all that often. Look at the names you guys are throwing around. They didn't really make there début at 33.

Edit: Another one for Morkel. Good stuff

If everyone's fit, he only plays if we don't pick a spinner, surely?

And then maybe on a flattish slow wicket, he gets in ahead of Philander?

Mike Hussey debuted late and had a decent career

Obviously we're not expecting 10+ years, just a few years until we get back on track and reclaim the ranking that is rightfully ours!

Exactly, So Cook can play until 45ish

Competition is good.

Does bring on another head ache though. Who is the opening pair from no one. Will Philander be as effective if he doesn't get the new ball?

Stick with what works. Either Steyn+Philander or KG+Philander. Steyn has come on first change on occasion, depending on conditions, and can bowl with any ball. Vern needs the new ball though...

Trying to follow the game at work on R2000FM, SS app on phone and cricinfo. Cricinfo-2 balls behind radio commentary and SS app 2 balls behind Cricinfo. Which one should I settle for?

 

[Creag]

Rabada to Bairstow, OUT, not for long, though - he edges his very next ball to de Kock! Rabada's so good he correct his mistake straight away, this was shorter, Bairstow hung back and prodded at it, thin edge through to the keeper... and that is his maiden Test ten-for, the youngest South African to do so, a magnificent showing

He also goes to 19 wickets for the series and will finish as taking most in it. Well done, lad! Well done!

Looking forward to KG learning old ball tricks from Steyn...that's where we're short when Dale isn't on the field.

England dying on the edge. KG finds it nicely.

 

[Creag]

England are in a hurry to get back to the hotel?

 

[MickeyD]

Come on, son, one more!!

12 o clock tee time...

 

[atomcrusher]

Rabada for President!
Good to see he is doing so well

 

[Agent_Smith]

Rabada man of the match and series?

 

[stefan9]

Rabada man of the match and series?

Man of the match yes, can't give him man of the series as his side didn't win.

 

[phoneJunky]

Rabada man of the match and series?

Probably. Either him or Amla, but I think it should go to KG for MoM.

Broad will probably get MotS for that spell.
