1-dayers: England v SA

Every time I refreshed cricinfo a wicket had gone down :lol:

Fantastic performance by England
 
who are these imposters wearing the england shirt? there were some rough shots there from the saffers but that bowling was almost controlled. let us see how badly the batsmen can shit us up before limping home 5 or 6 down.
 
I can't get myself to watch any match RSA play. They are the most boring team along with Sri Lanka
 
I hope this is the start of a golden era for English cricket, we have the talent but, like our footballers, have never been able to realise it when it matters.

We're not that talented though. Certainly no better than 2005. Broad and Cook could really dominate this generation, though really the difference between now and 2005 is our strength in one dayers. Completely different side since Moore took over. Fortunately for us Australia lack the quality spinner they had ever since Warne arrived.

Id like to see Sam Cliff get a crack as well, I rate him.

Agreed, but a fully fit Jones and Tresco would be nice additions to the squad, even though the later won't happen..!
 
have england all of a sudden turned into a world beating odi team or do you think the saffers are just playing some poor cricket?
 
Neither.

I'm wearing my lucky shirt.

that is one lucky shirt. you should go and buy a euro millions ticket in it. if you win i am claiming half the money as it was my great idea.
 
feck me we are dominating SA. I still feel that Patel will be found out as a mediocre spinner, and the batting line up will lack quality at times- Prior will continue with his quickfire 20/30s; whilst we can bat down to 9, we only have a few class batsmen.

Sorry to be a downer, but supporting England i've learnt to expect and get used to failure.

Agree.

SA's one day line up has a lot of young inexperienced players too. We're certainly better than our number 6 ranking but I'm not sure we're at the same level as India, Sri Lanka and Australia yet.
