England v South Africa, 5th ODI, Trent Bridge, 5 September, 2012

No love for this one?

I think food and alcohol is sound better to me...

Stupid review by malteser.

And now Bopara's gone.

Steyn charging in like a bull on fire.

Has Trent Bridge had any rain for the international matches this year?

England screwed, both Ginger Bradmen gone.

Dear me. Have England been at an all-night hash party?

Except Bops, with his usual two gallons of espresso before batting.


England "doing a Lancs". Maybe they just can't handle top dog status, and only apply any determination when underdogs?

Maybs they be wank. Good for them, though, plucky lil f*ckers... 175-8 after 43.2. Sexual.

That'll learn Andy Flower for taking a break. England punishing him for slackness.

Highest partnership v. England for 4th wicket at Trent Bridge beating Gayle & the late-lamented Runako Morton's 85 in July 2007.

Good gravy, Woakes is awful. I take back any suggestions I ever might have made over the years that he could play international cricket.

A year ago he was supposedly putting on a yard of pace. Well that's all gone. His batting's improved, but his bowling's powder puff in the extreme. Struggles to 80mph, yet bowls three half-trackers per over. And is predictably rinsed.

It's the batsmen who've lost this one for England, but how did they ever think they could win with a bowling attack of Anderson, Dernbach, Woakes, Tredwell and Patel in any case? There's one bowler there, at best.

Yay, we lost in 34 overs. Good stuff. If you're going to lose, get it done early, save on electricity.

Jeez, nearly as bad as Aus's effort from Engulund.

I see Elgar made a classy 1.

Almost a walkover, this one.

They are piss, England. Pissgasms 'R' Us.

NUMBER ONE though.
