Plenty of batting to come. Even Archer can bat at 11.

Sounds like we're struggling a bit here.

Is this really a 350 pitch?

Depends on your view really.

It is a good score so far but Buttler wicket is huge. However, Ali and Stokes can get after it.

Lots of nudging and nurdling here.

Not necessarily struggling, it’s been fairly easy going at 6 an over throughout, but both times they got themselves set to launch an attack and accelerate they lost a couple of wickets and have had to reset.

Moeen just wafting at the ball. He’s going to pick up 30 odd in edges or he’s looping it up in the air for a catch inside the circle.

...and gone. Not caught inside the circle but caught at long on.

Ty for the streams, found one.

Circa1892 · « **Reply #168 on:** May 30, 2019, 01:38:26 pm »

Really poor cameo from Moeen then.

Great catch!

Yorkykopite · « **Reply #170 on:** May 30, 2019, 01:39:17 pm »

South African wicket takes- Ngidi, Rabada, Tahir, Phlelukwayo.

Eat that Vorster!

He's in shite form. He's not made 50 for 2 years. Surprised they picked him. Should go with Curran.

vagabond · « **Reply #172 on:** May 30, 2019, 01:41:42 pm »

Thought Moeen timed it well. Just a very good catch.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #173 on:** May 30, 2019, 01:41:44 pm »

If we can get 330 without contributions from Bairstow and Buttler it shows we have good depth. Need a good finish here though.

Truthfully yes.

As others have said, our bowlers will need to bowl with discipline and variation.

Frank Becton · « **Reply #175 on:** May 30, 2019, 01:45:46 pm »

Ali is overrated as a so called all rounder, often fails with the bat.
Would prefer they played someone else.

Circa1892 · « **Reply #176 on:** May 30, 2019, 01:45:49 pm »

Feels like ages since a boundary. Really bad first half of the last 10...

Unless it looks like it's really going to spin on a pitch then Curran should be in the side. Or, if he's in for his bowling is there an argument to put him below Woakes etc in the batting order.

I expected Curran to play not Plunkett to be honest.

Regarding Ali an ok bowler I suppose but truly unpredictable and often awful with the bat. Overrated.

The Oval is the least spin friendly track England play on, so if his form warranted a rest, this was the game.

(Love him to throw that back in my face and get a five-for).

Frank Becton · « **Reply #181 on:** May 30, 2019, 01:50:18 pm »

England at least 30 runs short at the moment. South Africa probably favourites as it stands.

CheshireDave · « **Reply #182 on:** May 30, 2019, 01:58:54 pm »

Not even close

mc_red22 · « **Reply #183 on:** May 30, 2019, 02:00:46 pm »

Those two last reviews were a fucking joke. Neither were anywhere close to being out.

Kekule · « **Reply #184 on:** May 30, 2019, 02:01:11 pm »

Classic England at the World Cup batting performance this.

Chakan · « **Reply #185 on:** May 30, 2019, 02:01:18 pm »

Someone needs to learn how to use the review system that's terrible.

CheshireDave · « **Reply #186 on:** May 30, 2019, 02:01:30 pm »

Guess you may as well roll the dice.

Unluckeeeee

vagabond · « **Reply #188 on:** May 30, 2019, 02:01:59 pm »

England really struggling to accelerate here, can hardly get it off the green.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #189 on:** May 30, 2019, 02:02:06 pm »

Rabada bowling very well here. Lost our way a bit here, no one’s been able to really dominate.

We’ll have a total that has us well in the game though. Seems like Saffers strongest suit is their bowling so still pretty 50/50 for me this.

mc_red22 · « **Reply #190 on:** May 30, 2019, 02:02:20 pm »

Should have 20 runs added to the other team's total for wasting everybody's time with shit like that.

You wouldn’t think so looking at the last 20 minutes. Been a combination of decent bowling, good field placement, but above all poor batting.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #192 on:** May 30, 2019, 02:03:06 pm »

Need a big last Over from Dermot Reeve like in 92.

Stokes gone now.

310 would be dreamy now...

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #197 on:** May 30, 2019, 02:11:03 pm »

Not a great dismissal for Stokes. Played well but needed him to see it through here.

Circa1892 · « **Reply #198 on:** May 30, 2019, 02:11:48 pm »

Adil Rashid as a number 11 is pretty nifty...

Kekule · « **Reply #199 on:** May 30, 2019, 02:12:25 pm »

Out reverse pulling 10 short of 100 , with a handful of balls left and your team relying on you.

Someone’s going to have to explain that one to me.
