England Cricket

Have to admit that I tend to think & comment badly on their poor efforts, so now Brian must say WELL DONE ENGLAND & WALES ,  just keep that standard up & we'll be as happy as Larry or a whole warren  of bunnies  < ----------------- >

Well, the boys did well. It was looking like SA might hang on, but Stokes sorted it 

It seems as if a bit of a pattern with englands matches they need the first not so good match to get their eye in from then on (hopefully)

Well the bowlers ( and S African batsmen ! ) shewed England what 5 day cricket is all about !!  Not sure if Anderson is breaking down again 'cos the Talksport 2  common taters said he left the pitch several times today. His figures were still good but it is a worry for me, never mind the Selectors !

So it appears that poor old Anderson is living up to the "Old" part of his name. Scans on his side shew a strain - the bane of all fast bowlers and such a right pain to eradicate ( pun intended ) that its unlikely he will be fit enough for a full tour now.  So very sad that, despite his obvious discomfort, he was part of the successful attack this week and probably for the last time.

Well, 2 -- 1 up and all ready for the next round !!

Not sure at present on the England team to take part in the Battle for the Basil D'Oliviera Trophy.  Talksport 2 at Eight o'clock A.M.  could curdle Brian's porage if he's not already scoffed it  .

Keep the Faith Lads, Keep the Faith 

Well 'ecky thump  !!

South Africa would rather be playing bowls right now I think -- Conceded 400 runs and now losing wickets steadily, and for not a lot !!

Perhaps the S African chef will have to make their porage with salt & cold water !!  At 88 for SIX they might even be lucky to get cold water porage

A lead of over 400 with minutes left to play.

South Africa will be praying for rain by porage time I reckon 

Really pleased to see England win the series after such a dodgy start .Great to see the youngster's all put in a good shift . I feel that English cricket is in safe hands with these lads coming through.  Roll on Australia and the next ashes.🏏🏏.
