[Mr Spock!]

Faf mustn't be far off declaring his career over as well.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

On England...since Strauss (retired 2012) and Cook (retired 18 months ago), how many bloody openers have they churned through?!?!

Cook had 14 after Strauss...

Strauss
Vaughan
KP (once)
Compton
Root
Carberry
Robson
Trott
Lyth
Moeen Ali
Hales
Duckett
Hameed

Then there's been Buttler, Roy, Burns, the derps Sibley and Crawley in this test series. Jack Leach has even had a couple cracks as nightwatchman.

Looking forward to him playing in the BBL next summer

I reckon Philander will be there too

Unless they go to the Bangers league

 

[TheParraboy]

Finch won the toss and we will bat

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Finch won the toss and we will bat

Is this the latest innovation, 3 teams playing at the same time?

 

[TheParraboy]

so friggin excited to see TEST BBL and ODI cricket at the same time LOL

 

[edabomb]

I want England to win this match solely based on the fact they enforced the follow on.

 

[JJ]

Yeah... enforcing the follow on is in Australian for sure

 

[Mr Angry]

Time for a young RSA batsmen to make a name for himself, if good enough.

 

[TheFrog]

Innings defeat looming. Couldn't happen to a nicer team.

 

[JJ]

6 down, let’s go England!!

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Ellen has got a 4fer, is this match in Delhi or Port Elizabeth?

 

[Mr Spock!]

South Africa Is Rooted.

Imagine getting bowled out by that tosser.

 

[lockyno1]

Just when SA couldn’t get worse Ellen gets 4 lol

 

[TheParraboy]

Yeah... enforcing the follow on is in Australian for sure

chance of rain tomorrow

they may only have the first session to win the match, which they should do

No such weather worries for Australia nor was there need for a 5th day either

 

[BradParkerTheGoat]

Fancy getting dominated by Joe Freaken Root.... shame shame shame South Africa.

 

[JJ]

Jaapies 145/9 and Federer won in straight sets...

 

[Bazal]

Torn apart by Dom Bess and Ellen De Generes.

South Zimbabwe

 

[BradParkerTheGoat]

Does anyone know if Ollie Pope is related to Lloyd Pope? Both redheads, same name, both play cricket.... bit coincidental to me.
