I'll still take the 37-0 rather than being 3 down, as is tradition

Just for balance... it shouldn't be a massive surprise that Burns, Sibley and Denly are pretty capable at the top of the innings at domestic level, I wouldn't get too carried away!

Agreed and I don't see the point in these manufactured wa ups but getting a few is better than getting nothing against a county attack!

Anyone have any idea on why is Pope listed as wicketkeeper in SA XI game?

Wherever I looked, which wasn’t Cricinfo it had Buttler listed as WK. I don’t suppose at this stage anyone other than the team know. A number of the lads who are batting won’t field for the majority of the fielding innings, as I’m guessing this is going to be all the batters have a bat then rest up whilst all the bowlers have a bowl as oppose to a strict 11v11 game.

I'd make Bairstow field after that score!

I'm looking forward to seeing how Rabada and Bavuma do. Bavuma's ton last time we toured was pretty special, if I remember correctly.

Doesn't look like the best of starts for Jimmy - must be very rusty.


Also Curran with a couple of early wickets. Interesting to see how he got them - whether there was any early swing?

Craig Overton and Dom Bess called up as cover for the first test

Flu-like symptoms taking over the squad and back room staff in SA

Unfortunately for England, South African walking wicket Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the first Test. They might pick someone semi competent with the bat as his replacement

I have to say, our bowling could be in trouble, with Woakes now ill and Anderson having played so little cricket then with Broad and Archer coming back from illness.
This looks like a bowl first track too.
Sam Curran will really have to step up.

Also Stokes' Dad is really sick...

Assuming Stokes is available, the team for boxing day will be

Burns
Sibley
Denly
Roooooooooot
Stokes
Pope
Universe Jos
Curran
Archer
Broad
Anderson

If stokes isn't able to play, and Woakes is still sick, I am not sure what the plan is...!
