They can't they don't appear to have the ability to bowl a line or a length. This is fucking dismal.

[DaveD]

I had to pause the game to do the school run the other day, don't think I'll bother today.

and eventually we get one in the right area to test de kock and he holes out, it's like they learnt nothing from the tour.

Get down there you might see some better bowlers.

[PaulWinch again]

We're going to be chasing 250 here if we don't pull something out of the bag.

[paul_e]

All we can do now is try to take wickets and hope we slow them up a little, keeping this below 200 by containment isn't an option.

[PaulWinch again]

We're lucky De Villiers got carried away there.

[Chris Jameson]

No matter how hard I try I really can't get upset about any team losing a game of whack it to the boundary. Was the game invented by Americans?

The drop of Amla is looking worse and worse right now.  Topley really isn't doing himself any favours in this tournament.

I reckon he's another Jade Dernbach one trick pony. Once top class batsmen have had a look at him, he's cannon fodder.

I still find it absolutely mental that Broad isn't there.

[paul_e]

The spinners have got us back into this so I can understand root coming on.

[PaulWinch again]

To be honest Stokes yet again has been awful, and you can't throw the ball the rest of the clowns.

[Colhint]

I can see why they dropped Woakes for Topley

[PaulWinch again]

Well that was an utter utter disgrace. Also knowing how England react to these things I predict we'll be about 50-6.
