The Proteas - Our Team!

[ShloshMalosh]

They’re struggling as well lately. Hence them losing to us

Rather admit then that they are struggling... but please... B Team?

*cough BULLSHIT *cough

Would say the only first choice player missing is Bairstow but yeah, that English side looks as full strength as it can be. Ben Stokes is no longer in the frame so he doesn't count as a missing player.

fair enough. "dodgy" is a stretch though. more than half are WC winners

I just meant their form is a bit off and that they’re struggling lately as well.

Don't forget Root. Bairstow in for Roy and Root in for Duckett... slightly stronger

I see sam curran got a hefty fine for his bavuma send-off.

Don't they give bans for that kind of thing?

I guess English will be English they even get softer sanctions in Rugby compared to the rest.

Fine was the right sentence Imho.

If it was one of the saffas that did it though? KG got a ban for something similar a while back didn't he?

It's based on demerit points.

"It is Curran's first demerit point and the accumulation of four in a 24-month period would result in a ban."

Didn't realize he got a demerit point too. Fair emuff..

I still think posting IOL links should result in a MyBB sitewide ban.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Teams:

England (Playing XI): Jason Roy, Dawid Malan, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler(w/c), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Sam Curran, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley, Jofra Archer

South Africa have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[Agent_Smith]

Not sure about Shamzi but let's see how it goes.

Horses for courses perhaps

if we in we will be secured in the top 8 for the WC IIRC

 

[Drifter]

That's correct, if we get a whitewash, we auto qualify for WC.

 

[Speedster]

That's correct, if we get a whitewash, we auto qualify for WC.

Even if we lose both games against NED?

 

[3WA]

Even if we lose both games against NED?

If we do that, we’re better off playing the qualifiers.
