World Cup 2019 Day 1 England v South Africa @ The Oval

[Doodlesweaver]

Tuffnell just said 'it climbed on De Kock' and someone snickered in the background.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Nasser saying Archer went straight up and apologised and to see if he was alright. I'm not sure he did tbh, looked like he gave him a little smirk and then turned back to his mark.

"You wanna drive? Buy a car"

 

[corbies]

"Chris Woakes is such a nice bloke he stopped for Markram". He was literally just sledging the crap out of De Kock from mid on after that wild slog. Nasser's commentary is something else.

Markram is a delight to watch

Ah Nass. No mention that Markram dropping his bat may have actually distracted Woakes as he was about to deliver the ball.

 

[Plugger35]

Kiss of Death from Graeme Smith, praising Markram's ability and then he gets out next ball.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

They are pretty much 2 down aren't they?

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

Such a nothing stroke after a stunning cover drive from Markram. Was just starting to enjoy his stroke play

Was looking dangerous , Archer quality and Root made the catch look easy .

Amla might go back out there if Archer bowls out his 10 overs.

Otherwise unlikely.

 

[boondy]

Faf looks like a faf

 

[CrowBloke]

Stokes never recaptured that 250 off more than a run a ball agains SA . Would love to see a bit of that form return .

I wouldn't.
I'd like to see him get a string of ducks, until they drop him.

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

Too early to say. I think he's still being tested in the rooms. A lot of pointing to his head as he came off isn't a great sign though

 

[010203]

Archer ripping through South Africa.

 

[Plugger35]

South Africa in big trouble now.

Archer causing problems with his pace and bounce, could be a real matchwinner for England.

 

[corbies]

Thats a huge wicket. Jofra has really added something to this England bowling line-up.

 

[dumb]

if they're any chance SA need de kock to go big

 

[ams4crows]

Honestly pretty bullshit that they 'poached' him from the west indies, could legit be the difference between them winning and losing the cup.

A bit like what qatar are doing with their soccer team....

 

[boondy]

Rashid can take wickets or leak runs

 

[010203]

Rashid is very unlucky there.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Hit the stump!!!!

 

[Plugger35]

Very lucky there that the bails stayed on.

 

[boondy]

De Kock is lucky to still be in

 

[CrowBloke]

Pretorius is genuinely the most South African sounding surname I've ever heard.

Rhymes with Pistorius?

My fave SA name is Hansie Cronje. After that:
Jonty Rhodes
Lance Klusener ("Lornce Klooozna")

Kagiso Rabada is just a great name, a warrior's name.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Rashid is very unlucky there.

Get the feeling it's just delaying the inevitable.
