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

[boondy]

Thought his father was Zimbabwean but Tom was actually South African born. Anyway, both pretty close to each other and both pretty far from England

Mum is a pom , his Dad is a dead Zimbabwe so yeah lets begrudge him living in England .

Who could forget their Ashes winning team of 05 which contained Strauss, Pietersen, Geraint Jones & Simon Jones.

Simon Jones is from Wales so they didn't poach him, it's the England and Wales Cricket Board, any Welsh born players like Jones will play for England.

Haven't once begrudged him. Only pointed it out

 

[Fagan Pride]

They open their arms to all in the commonwealth not just for cricket , stop whinging that Australia doesnt welcome people .

Do you think it’s fair that they cherry pick the very best talent from the less established commonwealth nations?

How do you think England would go in the World Cup fielding players who were born in England/Wales only?

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

De Kick looks very comfortable. Knows the quicks aren't giving him width, and so ready to clip everything away off his body

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Who cares. England have always done **** all in World Cups even with all their ring ins and they'll blow this

 

[010203]

Van der Dusen with a cleanly struck 6

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Lost ball

Keep running!

 

[Plugger35]

England need to break this partnership, SA starting to get on top.

Shame only 4 make the finals this world cup. It's good fun when 8 get to go through and Bangladesh get in ahead of them.

 

[010203]

Van der Dussen is looking good now.

 

[010203]

Amla will probably bat again later.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

That's game, Hendrix

 

[010203]

De Kock has thrown away a century and probably cost his team the match. So unnecessary.

 

[Plugger35]

Big wicket.

Not a great shot from de Kock, just threw his wicket away.

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

Amla will probably bat again later.

Would definitely be sending him in now if he was ready to go

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

De Kock - "why did he do that?"

Cherry pick . I am sure people emigrate on their own volition . Kawaja says hello . Who knows if we became racist and stipulated foriegners cant play .

 

[carnthemlions]

You'd think people might catch onto the fact that you don't have to take as many risks against Plunkett. He's the ultimate buy a wicket bowler, it's all he does.

How would Australia go if only Aborigines played .

 

[010203]

Duminy and De Kock will be far from chuffed with the manner of their dismissals.

 

[Plugger35]

Another dumb shot.

South Africa throwing it away.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

That was Dumbiny

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Shocking shots from SA

 

[010203]

Another one gone.
