8. Ali picking up some cheap wickets here.

get on with the game.
England are a disgrace with the overrates.
nearly 6 and so many overs still left to be bowled and they still being slow with dawson bowling.
looks like root is just like cook.

jadeja could have bowled 2 overs in that one ball what a disgrace.
still 11 overs to bowl in 35 mins and those 11 overs should have been bowled by 6.00.
wonder what excuses folk in this forum will make now.

Most captains would slow the game down here. Shame the umpires can't stop them.

umpires can but they never do.
really is a disgrace.
not sure I would say most captains though.
only really pakistan, England and sometimes SA are slow all the other teams manage to bowl overs so why can't england.
only really england tend to slow games when they are losing, cough cough see india tour.
not sure I seen a team lose overs in the Sub c before.

10 overs to bowl in 30 mins can england do it or will we lose 3-4 overs.

by **rich1uk** » Sun Jul 16, 2017 6:00 pm

with the 10 minute loss for a change of innings then SA would only be getting 4 or 5 overs, so if they are going to declare it has to be now really

by **Dr Cricket** » Sun Jul 16, 2017 6:01 pm

they not going to declare today if they were, they would have given them 30 mins at the openers.

by **Dr Cricket** » Sun Jul 16, 2017 6:03 pm

now the batting team slowing things down.

by **Dr Cricket** » Sun Jul 16, 2017 6:06 pm

some meaty blows from philander.
looks like SA will declare overnight.

by **rich1uk** » Sun Jul 16, 2017 6:08 pm

only going to be 3, maybe 4, overs to face

no-win situation for the openers

by **Dr Cricket** » Sun Jul 16, 2017 6:08 pm

4 wickets from ali and SA declare, so 6 overs or 10-12 mins which ever comes first.
guaranteed to lose overs though.

by **Dr Cricket** » Sun Jul 16, 2017 6:08 pm

Would be more overs to face if england didn't cheat though.
