Raining ruining a good game.

Btw. What is the exact law on the stokes catch? Is the boundary where it is when the ball is bowled or where it was suppose to be if it had not moved?

Tsolokile must play. Drop QdK.

Are you talking about Thami Tsolekile? If so, at 35 he has never lived up to his potential and has only scored 6 hundreds in his first class career. His average in all forms of the game is not good enough to be selected for international cricket. He is a very good wicket keeper but not good enough with the bat.

I was wrong in what I said earlier.
(ii) the line where the base of the fence or marker originally stood shall define the boundary edge.

However, from a few extra viewings from different angles, it does not look to me like Stokes crossed that line rendering this moot in this instance.

Because the team is not transformed enough.

And where is Lopsy and Parnie ????

Lol, you're a bit bored, hey?

Arthur Punter: "De Kock deserves to be on the winning team. Does he have any English blood?" That tends not to matter where the England team is concerned ... but I digress...

ah well ... D&L gets us again.

More our bowling than Messrs Duckworth and Lewis. Thought De Lange had a shot at Mick Lewis's record there for a bit...fair play to him, he pulled it back a bit. But a lot of rubbish in general from the bowling unit.

TBF england were just as bad when it came to bowling. Never know what would have happended if rain didn't intervene. KG will obviously make a difference when back.

Bowlers are going to travel thought in this series, only pe is likely to give any relief.

BTw. Can some please explain wtf we are only playing saturday again and there is no friday and sunday game this week like usual for odi series?
