8th Match: England v South Africa (Group B)

[Fatal Shot]

Nice catch from Boucher. Parnell is a wicket taker. Could care less about his economy rate, as long as he keeps taking wickets.

Fatal Shot added 11 Minutes and 20 Seconds later...

Two straight maidens from Parnell. Well well...

What's happened here, England struggling during the middle overs again.

Just seen Mark Bouchers catch, amazing really.

They're on top so far and it seems like they're handling the spin okay, but they need to go on with the starts.

Something neither of these batsmen do very often.

 

[angryangy]

England right on top here, nothing in it for the spinners and South Africa really need Smith to gamble some overs of Steyn, Kallis or Parnell.

Eng 173/2 in 32 overs isnt bad. South Africa and Sri Lanka will be out of this tournament. :laugh

 

[Howsie]

I just flicked this game over, is anyone else having problems with the sound?

Shah looks to be batting well though, just seen the massive six he hit of Van De Merwe.

 

[evertonfan]

Wtf is going on? We couldn't even make this kind of score for the loss of 10 wickets a couple of weeks ago.

 

[ali_ed2001]

Shah is smashing the daylights out of SAF bowlers. Great to see!

 

[deepuparayil]

Does Shah got a mental block?
He's even hitting 6's against Steyn.
WHAT THE FAQ?

 

[Howsie]

I hope Shah get's his 100 here, he really deserves it. This has been a fantastic innings.

And to think most people wanted him dropped, with good reason though.

 

[Fatal Shot]

Ugh... I really hope Gibbs can do what Shah's doing. Looks like a very very flat pitch.

 

[rocky_g]

I am saying it again. England will win this champions trophy.

 

[evertonfan]

Yeah fair play to Shah for this innings and all that, but it's about time he batted well.

 

[Howsie]

And he bottles it.
