Poor bowling & poor fielding throughout. The game is gone, but I hope England can at least save a little face with a decent batting performance.

look like England would need to get 103 runs in the powerplay to have a chance in this game lol.

they'll be going out trying to hit a 6 off every ball and we'll be bowled out for around 120

Looks like the market changed the par total after the SA innings.
My model was hopelessly wrong for the England innings.

England need to score 82 from the first 6 overs.

England meant to be 52 after 2 overs and they may actually nearly reach it incredible.

Down to Buttler and Root but you feel we will fall short..

Kiwis look really strong - 2 good wins against the 2 favourites maybe?

had to pop out between innings so put the TiVo on and been fast forwarding between overs and just caught up to live play

cant believe we have a chance here , 60 off the last 6 is doable but expect these 2 will have to get most of them

All the England bashers seem to be 'offline' all of a sudden. Why is it when England do badly, this thread is busy ? When they have a go and make a fist of it, its quiet ? It's as if people want failure.

I backed SA to win the whole thing a few weeks ago but I shall be cheering England on for the rest of this match. Win, Lose or draw they had a go

Would like to see Plunkett in for Topley in the next match. And as it is against Afghanistan, maybe worth giving Dawson a run out ?

As a dyed in the wool pessimist I don't want to jinx it. I am convinced that if I feel or convey the merest flicker of hope it will all come crashing down.

Whatever happens now though it has been a valiant attempt at least.

some of the bowling did deserve bashing darren , they looked like they couldn't handle the pressure the SA batsmen were putting on them

even if we dont get over the line here they deserve credit, a year ago this wouldn't have been a competitive game
