    Maybe this could be the start of something

    Incredible stuff. This is why cricket is the best sport in the world

    Cricket IS the best sport in the world. No other sport can build up pressure and tension the way that cricket can.

    Agreed. Need to sort our bowling out though! Not sure Stuart "36 in an over" broad is the answer
  • What a player Joe Root is.

    Bopara should be in this team as a bowling allrounder

    What a player Joe Root is.

    He is going to be No 1 in the World for a long time .
    What a player.
  • That reverse scoop 6 from Root is an absolute piss-take.

    What a joke.

    He's not human.

    All i need now is for the Addicks to win tomorrow, and then England to take the piss against France - and , yes, super weekend !

    You never know - it would be about time

    Whoever lolled my post there hasn't seen Bopara's T20 bowling figures, especially his recent ones.

    Think we are missing finn big time. Had to leave work with five overs left so I missed the tense finish! Glad my boy Jase came through though!

    Must admit, i've slagged off Roy before, but tonight.....top man - not many people take Steyn apart.

    Who else bowls accurate, slippery medium pace perfect for Indian conditions, and can bat?

    Joe Root was fantastic but we wouldn't have won if Roy and Hales hadn't got us off to that sort of start. We transferred all the pressure onto the South Africans.

    Who else has been given that many chances again and again to play for the national side but has always failed to prove they can do it on the big stage?

    To be fair, I don't actually mind Ravi that much and he does have some IPL experience to draw on as well. I'd maybe have been tempted to have him or Luke Wright in the squad instead of Dawson, but he wouldn't make my first team.

    You might be right. All out pace isn't the answer. He can keep it tight. Not seen what he's been up to recently though

    Bopara is one of the main reasons why England have been shit for the past decade - could almost bat,could almost bowl and certainly couldnt almost field - no thanks, good bye - dont come back.

    Just reflecting on the game - what an innings by Joe Root !!

  • All i need now is for the Addicks to win tomorrow, and then England to take the piss against France - and , yes, super weekend !

    You never know - it would be about time

    And for Roland to confirm he's decided to sell up?

    Roland can wait until Sunday, it's my sons birthday, it would be the best present ever.

    And as he's off to Dubai on holiday with his mum Saturday night, as in out celebrating Roland's exit I'll meet the next love of my life.

    That will be then the best weekend ever.

    How much was our bet AA?

    Rashid..
    In 2 matches so far.....
    rpo
    Rashid 4.0 0 35 1 8.75
    Rashid 2.0 0 20 1 10.00

    He's gonna have to go some v mighty Aghanistan to bring it down under 8 !!

    More reflections...
    Miller was out plumb first ball - not given
    Amla was out plumb first over - not given
    Hales given out when ball going down leg.
    All the same umpire.

    We need to dispose of Topley and Jordan for next game, or at least one of them. Plunkett to come in with a bit of pace - who else do we have?
