I think we have now won 12 of the last 13 against some pretty decent opposition.
Like you I will enjoy our success whilst it is happening.
There were quite a few who thought that South Africa were so strong, and on such a good run during this series that they were just going to blow us away in all formats. Those people forgot that our ODI record is improving, and that we are still a very good cricket team.
I fully expect a 3:1 victory and am proud of our boys efforts, given the tough tour we are having and the start we made.
Great character in this team. We can all do our teams or have our opinions, but character is instilled by the tram and management.
Need to improve fielding.
Bairstow in for Trott.
Do you guys think that we will walk out 3-1 victors? It will be close, that's for sure!
Is this the match thread then?
Ahh its a day/nighter. Gives me time to do some work.
Finn & Trott out - Bairstow & Woakes in! Finn out??
Mclaren & Tsotsobe out - Morkel & Ontong in! Ontong?
Dern, Finn will have been rested. Woakes needs games for England, if he is to prove the potential he has promised.

get that fackin bopara out....like the oppo do....
Time to drop Bopara to number 10 as he just seems to be a bowler now

Please no more Bopara. Walking wicket.
There are better all-rounders in the English game.
England 60-2 off 14 overs and these 2 batsmen playing with great maturity.
I think I have said enough with regards to Ravi Bopara over the years. Now I will just let his batting do the talking.

This doesn't look good for Eng - Morgan & Bairstow out
England lose 2 quick wickets. Bairstow who was looking extremely good for 29 and now Morgan for 0.
Cook will make a century today but we need a hero. Somebody to get into these Saffer bowlers and get our score to 250.
Dern, get your fly swatter ready mate.
Next time Neon pops up on here, only when England have something bad done to them, pull it out and smash his face with it mate. I will be just before you with my effort
Engl;and going very slow & trying to keep wickets in hand.
I'm gonna go out & say that Woakes is gonna rescue us today
Dear oh dear. What are they playing at?
We need some middle order heroics here.
