England v South Africa

[Swanjaxs]

Beating a New Zealand side in transition and an ageing Indian team is all very well, but the boks are a completely different kettle of fish, it's probably the best type of challenge England needed to see how far they have progressed under McCullum...

His countryman Stokes is the only man who can save him in this one.

Foakesy didn’t want to be out there.

Hostile by Nortje

This approach was never going to come off every time that’s the nature of the beast. But I wouldn’t be rewriting history either by belittling the two teams we’ve already hammered this summer. Win or lose I’m enjoying the ride.

 

[Risc]

Dismantled.

Good stuff by the Proteas

Well not belittling so much as stating a fact, both have ruled the roost for a while but are both rebuilding, not wrighting England off either, wouldn't be suprised if they bounce back at Old Trafford

Mr Cuddy is putting a brave face on the 2,1/2 day massacre, hates the Hundred but enjoyed the test match

To succeed against the best teams with this approach England need very good batting wickets. This one helped the bowlers throughout.

Unfortunately England bowled on it as though it was a batsman’s paradise as well.

Wicket looks like a shredded wheat, loads of cracks, will spin and turn by the looks of it, Boks looking for a big 1st innings score...

Erwee-Go SA 3/1

 

[Muteswan]

Doing well this morning, but we still have to bat.

 

[Cooperman]

To add, there's something very predictable about a single digit score from an England Test opener.

Yep.

Tell you what, win, lose or draw I love watching this team. The attitude Stokes and McCullum has instilled in them is excellent.

Two day Test anyone...
