He's a canny bowler Rashid isn't he?

 

We'll miss him when he's gone. Be good if they keep him around to mentor/coach Rehan Ahmed as you'd assume he'll be the natural replacement

 

Aye there aren't too many top class spinners in the world. Having county cricket played in spring and autumn probably wont help this either. Enjoy him while he's here aye

 

Yes! Great catch Bairstow while falling over.

Another wicket for Topley.

 

And another for Topley!

Miller out and SA are 5 down.

Wrestled a bit of momentum back here.

 

Haway lads, get another one now

 

Christ that lass on the PA system is doing my head in

 

That "DJ" / rabble rouser at the Afghanistan match was worse.

We are going to have to go some to win this

 

Might as well pack their bags to come home. Don't think they'll get into the top 4 on this showing

 

England getting absolutely tonked here.

 

Hopefully the lads can do the business to make up for S.Africa doing us over twice in a day lol

This is where Morgan would of been in the ear of the bowlers. Butler looks lost behind the wicket.

 

We are bowling utter ****ing garbage

 

Nah. No chance. We are a shadow of the side from 2019 with too many sentimental picks instead of trying to build a side to perform at this tournament.
He will of course prove me wrong, but getting Stokes to come back from retirement was a mistake

 

This is a hard watch , get in Atkinson, just 10 overs too late

 

I was trying not to crack the beers open until the lads kick off, it has been a struggle watching this

Piece of piss, we only need 400

 

Painful viewing. This is apparently a bat second ground but bowling in those conditions must have been horrific.

SA have shown more guts than us so far though.

 

Scoreboard pressure will get to us I reckon. Slip behind the rate, take a few risks, lose a few wickets. Game over

 

Keep the faith lads.
Just cracked open my first beer.
300 partnership for first wicket off 37 overs

 

I'd put the beer away if I were you

 

Wonder what the record margin of defeat in a ODI is

23-2 FFS
