Absolute tripe of a first over this session from Archer

71-3
England's decision to bowl justified, or still looking suspect?

Don�t know if Leach Is fit or if he would of played had he been, but with 5 seamers in he had to bowl this morning.

Trott reckons on bbc text no team wants to be batting on day 5.

Don�t think 3 wickets down so far is all that bad myself for SA

Now that was a good ball from Sam

And a peach from Broady. Maybe this wasn't a bad call after all

SA are so so so bad. De kock slogging now won�t help

Oh how we wished Sam was as good as Nick Winter of Brentwood...

Pretty sure De Kock knows the lottery numbers, talk about riding your luck

Why is it sa so bad rather than England good??

De kock has played ok and naturally

Couple of good balls have got wickets too!
Curran has bowled well and deserved his rewards

Root bowling now shows that we need a proper spinner! Leach HAS to play the rest of the games assuming he's no longer ill

South Africa are a poor side as can be determined by their team selections. van der Dussan an opener batting at 5. de Kock their best player wasted at 6. Markram has been crap for a long while now.

This has been rather underwhelming from Archer, not like he's been overworked either

ppccopener · « **Reply #115 on:** December 26, 2019, 01:27:56 PM »

Pretty much in tests you need a spinner, mostly as teams bat first the spinner comes into the game later on...not convinced thou Leach would of played had he been fit. stokes don�t seem to be bowling much these days, Anderson just coming back and it�s hot-gamble on sticking them in and that makes England thinking equal 5 seamers.

Looks to me like SA are the better placed side, 200-5 after being put in is good.

250 plus maybe a good score on a wicket doing a bit.

To literally quote Atherton �the problem for South Africa is, that England have not bowled very well but they have managed to somehow lose 6 wickets�

It really isn�t because England are doing well.. SA just aren�t very good, even compared to a average england side.

Still, 211 for SA is more than they looked like getting

We're going to get collared for this over rate as well

Chanceless was it ? Easy to point and say that but he�s nicked a lot and been dropped. He�s done a job and come off this time so fair enough but it could so easily have gone wrong. Can�t just go �Yey, how great� with such high risk strategy when the team is in dire straights. It�ll fail more often than not
