2nd ODI: South Africa v England at Port Elizabeth - dillinger10 - 02-06-2016
South Africa win the toss and elect to bat first. England are unchanged, while Rabada and Abbott return for South Africa, replacing Morris and de Lange. Still, it's not all bad news for Morris, he did just pocket a million dollars to play in this years IPL.

Topley rearranges Amla's stumps. Both he and Willey have bowled full and straight in the early overs and have been rewarded. South Africa 4/1.

South African innings - 262/7. Only 3 times has the team batting 2nd scored more runs at this ground.
England 38/1 after 9.3 overs, having lost the wicket of the dangerous Jason Roy. This game could go either way.

I'm so disappointed about the way my team has been performing. I really thought we stood a chance today, but I guess we were never really in it.
I missed the last few minutes because we had a huge thunderstorm and lost the signal for a while. The end seemed to come a lot quicker than I expected it to.

That was a clinical performance from England. A word that has been so rarely used to describe this ODI team over the last few years.
It really is a shame that this team wasn't sent to the World Cup. Still, the one good thing that came out of that debacle is that it forced the changes to be made.
This is a very young and exciting England team. Buttler continues to shine and Alex Hales proved he is more than just a slogger. Chris Jordan may well be one of the top 5 fielders in cricket today. I just hope he can improve upon his bowling enough to warrant a place in this side going forward as he is an amazing talent to watch in the field.

Alex Hales is a developed ODI batsman.
with Jos Buttler these 2 cam lock uo the middle order.
