Ok guys, Im starting this thread to hear from the other Saffers out there on the site and want to know what your thoughts are on the horrendous form we're showing against England.
This must be the worst cricket Ive seen from us in recent years, possibly ever. Had it been against Australia, fair enough, would have been disappointing but against England? We're supposed to pummel these okes, the results should have been reversed in actual fact. Why are we losing to them? Didnt we equal (or better) the Aussies' record for the longest run for consecutive ODI's won just last season? England came off a thrashing against NZ before this series and we've been sublime for a long time.....what are they feeding us over there? This isnt normal and luckily Ive done my best to focus on studies throughout this abomination and only watched a couple of highlights of the games - cant be bothered to put myself through the embarrassment.
So what is it? I accept Smith is out of the team, but we played badly even before he pulled out, our bowlers cant penetrate or even stick to bowling 6 balls per over and our batsmen look out of sorts....
Havent had a chance to watch to local cricket shows on dstv so not sure...I doubt that England are a better side than us, and thats what annoys me so much. Seems more like a fluke to me....can we all be so out of form all of a sudden?
Be cool to hear your comments.
