Oh good, thanks Rumpole!

The last one was fun to watch, exciting and good playing from what I remember ... and these inconvenient start times get me out of bed earlier

I'll pop up for the end bit... will be relying on your link again... K?

Sure, I'll have the links.

I'll keep the commentating to a minimum, until you get here.

South Africa won the toss and elected to field

I discovered -- if screen is set to full, no recurrent pop-ups

England all out. England 262 (47.5 ov)

Target for South Africa 263

Lunch break.

Thx Molly.. watching now.

I don't normally support SA.. they are often NZ rivals... but I am getting that "as long as we beat the English" feeling...something about the condescending pommy commentators that gets up my nose

According to them.. every ball bowled by England is some sort of master plan....the SA batsmen are each fatally flawed

They seem to have forgotten the hopeless English batting.. Bowled out.. did not even complete their 50 overs

Apparently... just for interest.. The Duckworth Lewis par score at end of this over (39th) is 200

South Africa 199/6 (39.0 ov) Gnomesayin?

(SA need 64 off 66 balls)


Just a couple of SA boundaries.. and this will look like a cakewalk

SA need 59 off final 10 overs...

It is often claimed that teams can score at 10/over in last 10... that does not seem to be true... but 5.9 is not much of an ask.

SA now 8 wickets down.. that makes it harder... but still... just a boundary (or 2) will make the target look easy.

SA look to be Panicking...



But really there is no need.. run a ball... a boundary or two and they will do this easy
