England all out for 165

.... and a top bloke. My son was a net bowler for the South Africans on their last visit and he said Rabada was a champion.

Entertaining nights play, curled up on the sofa watching it, game evenly balanced at this stage

as much as i dislike James Anderson and dont know why, he had the ball talking at times yesterday

Reckon by the time the Melbourne/Brivegas game finishes tonight that England will be back in batting & hopefully 5fa not very many

Poms trail by 123

2 down both to Maharaj of all people

Root gone 3/58

6/86 Superb bowling by Nortje who has 3/18

Bloody hell, why does the collapse happen when I'm not watching, England effectively 6/-71.

England going the tonk.

Feel that SAF may not bat again.

RIP BazBall 2022-2022

nice to see the poms come back down to Earth with a thud

On the money DOC, England all out for 149 to lose by an innings and 12 runs.
Beaten inside 3 days, Bazball no good for England on this occasion.
SA's team balance turned out to be a winner.
250 test wickets for Rabada, he's the second fastest to the mark in balls bowled (10,065) behind Dale Steyn (9927). His current strike rate is 40.2

They just dont learn, if you win the toss you bat first ....

BAZBALL!

I wish the Poms played Bazball at the Headingly Test in 2019. Instead Stokes made one run off 50 balls and was like a wall before he finally upped the scoring and unleashed that match winning innings. Bazball is unsustainable with a two man batting line up. It puts too much pressure on the bowlers and it will only work in certain conditions. Expecting plodders like Lees to tee off when they are 150 behind is ridiculous.

The second England v South Africa test starts tomorrow in Manchester.
England have already named their team, the only change is Ollie Robinson comes in for Matt Potts.
Zak Crawley keeps his spot, all the media surrounding the series has been mainly focused on Crawley this week, he continues to come under huge scrutiny.

"I don't expect consistency" , McAllum on Crawley.

Must be the only coach that doesn't. But I suppose Crawley HAS been consistent....consistently shite.
