England beat South Africa by 2 wickets in a high scoring game

This was meant to happen with ma brothers Rashid and Moeen in the middle and to hit winning runs! :P

Was terrific in T20's for quite some time. Has lost pace. Cant really fault him. He's nearly 33 and has been playing for 12 years.

I don't rate him in LOIS when I've seen batsman really go after him he seems to lose his head. one of the GOATs in tests.

You are right that too in JBurg, people talk its hard being a Pakistani supporter but i don't know how you guys support Saffers ,they have always been my second fav team and they never perform well in tournaments except the 1998 Champions Trophy!

Stopped supporting 2 years ago. Was a fan for 18 years before that since the age of 6.
 
Well played England but pathetic bowling from SA. We must bounce back in the next game.
 
Great match all-round. The fast bowlers are on to a hiding to nothing on these pitches.
 
What a match. What drama. This is what makes T20I incredible.

I want Pakistan to win tomorrow but please don't do it like this or I'll have a heart attack.

Yeah man i still can't stop supporting them dunno y,big fan of their 90's team with Mcmillan,Klusner,Paul adams,Symcox and they only improved over the years but so disappointing their LOI team.
 
Saffers regretting those stupid bouncers that went for five wides at the start of the innings, right about..... now!

Great chase, but genuinely the worst bowling performance I've ever seen.

Yeah but that's off late. He was actually good in T20is till 2014 or so and even his ODI record is not that bad. He's not an ATG LOI bowler but he's had a few performances. I still remember the 2011 WC where he took a beating from our bats with the new ball but then came back and took a five fee with the old ball which helped them win the match.

I suspect he would have done better if not for the 2 new ball rule in the last 4 years.
 
Rabada seems like a Test bowler. these tracks don't suit him at all. Steyn seems past it. Abbott and Morris are garbage. Tahir is the only quality bowler they have.

he seems to lack variation in his bowling he has a GOAT outswinger but he doesn't have the variety other ATGs do.

and I'm someone who rates him very, very highly.

Best batsman in the world and the best English batsman in history.
 
What a team effort, although Root scored the bulk of the runs but all the other guys kept chipping in with handy innings at amazing SRs.

Sorry my friend, better luck next time. :amla
 
What a great, great win.

Slap on the face of England haters, and a Moment of Silence for the Proteas lovers on PP.

That outswinger hasn't been coming out consistently in some time which is the biggest worry IMO. I can't remember the last time when he biwled a spell if vicious outswing ers. Not since Pakistan toured SA 3 years back anyway.

But yes he's finished in LOIs now and is declining in test cricket as well.

it's looking like tough times ahead for the Saffers. but idk why Morkel isn't even in the Squad surely he's better than the likes of Abbott and Morris.

LO in India is always fun - best place to play LO cricket (in fact Cricket oblate). 6 matches so far & every one had it's stamp of it - such diversity previously was seen only in AUS.
 
Did England play cricket today? :ehh

Blimey, I didn't even know. Thinking about the Six Nations tomorrow.
 
Very proud day to be an England fan. Really enjoyed the run chase - an immensely resilient and skilled effort.
