England (Me) v South Africa
3 ODI's
3 T20's
4 Test Matches
This has all the ingredients to be an exciting tour. I'm going to document every match and include highlight packages.
First two One Day Internationals have been played and they didn't disappoint!!
@Dutch fancy supplying some music!?
@blockerdave nothing wrong with the AI!
1st ODI
De Kock and Amla century stand set up Duminy and Miller fireworks at the end!!
What a start to the series and what a treat for the crowd. South Africa were explosive in the opening powerplay as De Knock and Amla flayed them to all parts.
England at no point in the innings had any control as South Aftica racked up an imposing total and stamped their intentions on the series from the start.
England in reply never really threatened with constant wickets always halting their progress and South Africa take an early 1-0 lead in the series!
2nd ODI
De Kock heroics overshadows Buttler ton as South Africa wrap up the series with 1 to play!
England struck early twice to reduce South Africa to 22/2 and at that stage they looked in command before the heroes of the first ODI were at it again building a steady 100 stand. They played risk free cricket and were no worries about slipping behind the rate.
The perfect platform was laid down for and explosive onslaught at the end!
I have tried everything in these two ODI's and have been beaten in both!
