Archer out of the Sri Lanka series and the IPL with an elbow stress fracture

Some humble pie needed for those doubting and criticising him

Root should learn a big lesson and not make a fast bowler ball 45 overs in a innings.

Not just that but if it has been there a while why wasn't it spotted sooner?

In 150 innings Brett Lee only bowled 3 times over 35 overs. Akhtar in 82 innings twice over 30 overs.

Decent captaincy to bring Root on. But disappointed that Morgan can't control the weather.

For all the sports science and doctors/ back room staff in the England set up the management of injuries has been awful over the last year. Same applies to Jimmy and his calf injury.

Oh Durban

Play to resume at 4:15
26 over game.

Archer himself said he wanted to bowl the Tom Richardson spells.


I suspect he is reconsidering.

As you say nothing new. But the way that article is written is more than a little misleading.

Umpires should be cancelled

 

[mackembhoy]

Absolute farce

 

[mackembhoy]

Well that's justice.

Weird how picking the spinners that won the world cup totally worked

Tbf it is SA, the worst players of spin in the world

 

[Howe_zat]

Commentators openly wondering why RSA are having to be so cautious for their 6th wicket. They have a man with a single-figure average in at 8. That'll be why then.

Edit: Holding, who five minutes ago was criticising Miller and Phehlukwayo for not pushing on and playing their shots, is now criticising Phehlukwayo for playing a sweep and getting out.

He actually has a single figure average in every format at both international and domestic level, too.

I am still conspiracy theorising that it is all those Indian spin camps we sending our batsmen on...

 

[Prince EWS]

It's really one of the worst tails I've seen in years. From seven down it's a number eight and then four number elevens.

P'raps not the next allround talent then.

You'd think they'd want Pretorious in for this job. Even if he's not quite got to it yet as an ODI bowler, neither have the rest of these reserve bowlers
