South Africa tour Of England

[andrew_nixon]

And it looks like Hussain could be out for the final test.

I think England should put a fully strength side for the last test.

Yeah why not if they want to draw the series. I think so S.Africa will be very relaxed now after having the lead.

 

[Neo!]

yeah SAF will be relaxed plus shaun pollock will be back

 

[andrew_nixon]

England can't field a full strength side, due to all the injuries they've got.

yup sure looks like it

 

[temp]

Who will replace him?

 

[andrew_nixon]

Probably Thorpe.

 

[imported_Rollo]

This is the Injury List

Nasser Hussain (broken toe)
James Kirtley (forgot)
Martin Bicknell (Maybe out/Hamstring problem)

And the waiting list

Marcus Trescothick
Michael Vaughan
Mark Butcher
Ed Smith
Alec Stewart
Ashley Giles
Steve Harmison
Kabir Ali
James Anderson

And the maybe/maybe not list

Graham Thorpe
Gareth Batty
Anthony McGrath
Chris Read( :blink: )
James Foster( :blink: )

I think I've missed a few out so I'll do some more research.

 

[andrew_nixon]

James Kirtley has shin splints.

Richard Johnson, Andy Strauss and Robert Croft are also on the "Maybe" list

Anyway, I forgot to post the results of the first two U19 ODIs, so here goes.

1st Match

England: 267/8 (Patel 122, New 50)
South Africa: 270/9 (de Villiers 143)

South Africa win by 1 wicket.

2nd Match

South Africa: 190/7 (de Villiers 59, Wright 5/46)
England: 8/0

No result.

Luke Wright got a hat-trick.

england will ahve to put all there efforts to win the next test match

i think it difficult after such injuries -_-
but they can

soth africa are getting strong

i think we will see a great test match :

 

[andrew_nixon]

The third Under 19 was abandoned without a ball being bowled, so South Africa take the series 1-0.

**UPDATE**

Close Of Play - Day One

South Africa 1st Innings: 362/4 (Gibbs 183)
