Cricket - The Ashes 2025-2026

SA v Eng has started, SA scoring slowly so far.
England chose to bowl which I wouldn't have done given how few successful chases there have been.

 

Every over since I typed that they've scored at least 10 runs.

 

Was a good start getting De Kock out so early but Van der Dussen and Hendricks starting to look settled now, need to break that partnership

 

SA heading for a score well over 300, 360, 380 maybe. We are not going to chase that. Does anyone think bowling first was a good choice? Other than the man who made that choice.

 

Dont think they will get that many, I think England will start to restrict them a bit better in the middle overs.

I think they will get around 300 and its game on for England

 

This is some score from SA

 

Yes, not a hope in this one.

 

Could be the start of a bad day for English teams playing SA in world cups

 

You could right there be.

 

Off to a flyer, the bowlers that is.

 

24-3

only another 376 needed.

 

Think I’ll watch Colombo instead

 

Trouble is I’m in a hotel with no telly in room so forced to listen on the radio. Thrrr goes Stokesy.

 

Oh dear, has the mutt chucked you out again?

 

I think England are doing the right thing and saving energy for more winnable matches against Sri Lanka and Netherlands

 

I love to laugh at England as much as the rest of the world, but this is quite sad, embarrassing even

 

I’m in Hitchin for a gig

 

Pitiful

 

Whats happened? Has that loss to Afghanistan just put them on too much of a downer?

I mean SA have been very good, but this is a mauling

 

Bucks Fizz? Or Brotherhood Of Man?

Is it raining?
