England tour of SA, ODI series, Feb 3-14

Rashid should have three wickets

He has no luck

[Aidan11]

Should win with 5 overs to spare.

[Aidan11]

It's getting that bad, the media might start bringing up KP's name again.

[Aidan11]

We won't get far in the World T20 on these performances.

[Aidan11]

The suffering is finally over.

[meninblue]

Just not enough runs on board on a batting wicket. No wonder chased very easily.

[Aidan11]

I've been watching a Marx Brothers film for the last 10 minutes.

I forgot I'd switched channels. I thought I was still watching England.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Amazing performance from SA. What a change in momentum.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Perhaps more evidence on this tour at how poor Jordan can be when coming into a series with little time in the middle behind him. He lacks control when he begins, then generally improves if kept in the side.

No one anywhere said anything more wrong than this today. Not even Paul Newman.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Can't really make changes based on that performance. Just have to hope another game like that isn't on its way. But England went into the game with only one bowler to operate in the first six and a lack of flexibility for if things started to go wrong. I expect they'll be glad to be going home.

[Aidan11]

Good to see Morgan admit England were poor rather than SA just being good.

[Durhamfootman]

gosh

was that a thumping or wot!

[Durhamfootman]

England go into the WT20 WC on the back of 5 consecutive losses

not good for morale

might as well send the Nerwcastle Utd footy team instead... they can do 5 consecutive losses as well as anyone.... give these boys a rest

The team carry no momentum having lost ODI as well as T20 series. Changing personnel wont help. There is hardly any time for alternative players to settle in team. Give them the full T20 cup to perform and if they dont then only change players.

we have a tried and tested method of making changes to our team before world cups

we normally wait until after the warm up games to make the decision as well

dont be surprised if ben stokes is asked to open the batting for the first time in his life in the opening game of the tournament, or if liam dawson is thrown in at the last minute
