Jimmy Anderson back in action since breaking down in August, and taking a wicket in the first warm-up game
Looking forward to this tour, as the team looks to establish a new sense of purpose in the test arena. Ben Stokes had a great tour last time, and should be feeling in good fettle
Incidentally, batting for the SA XI, Matthew Arnold. I wondered what he'd been up to after writing Dover Beach |  |

Good win in the 20/20. Great batting by Morgan and Malan.
I am a bit concerned about Ali's form. His batting has really lost its way recently. If Dawson was fit he would be a serious option to replace him. I am not really seeing a young white ball spinner coming through who can offer a bit with the bat. Obviously there is Parkinson but he is a limited batter. |  | | |

Incredible finish in the first Aussie T20!
Has to be said again, but huge thanks to those guys for coming over
They had it won, but great fightback by England, and the cricket season continues to provide some fabulous entertainment | |

Absolutely agree.
I thought it unfair the pundits seemed to suggest laying the blame at Glenn Maxwell’s door, though, when Steve Smith’s dismissal was nonchalant while the Aussies were flying. [Post edited 4 Sep 2020 23:40]

The way the faces of the Aussies changed was priceless. |  |

Was listening on TMS and with 6 overs left everyone was talking about what a pasting England were suffering, and estimated we would lose with about 16 balls left. In fairness I almost turned off myself |  | | |

Good effort by England to pass 300, after being 0-2 after 2 balls
Sets up what should be an exciting finish to this mini-Ashes series and to what's been an engrossing international cricket season | |

Well, how fabulous was that? Superb cricket!
(Not sure about Rashid on that final over, but he's the one with the proven record)
A vintage summer of cricket, to follow on from last year too | |

Had issues with my VPN & couldn't get any of the match or TMS commentary . Gutted as it seems like it was a cracker | | | |

Referring back nearly 12 months to OP, and almost unnoticed, but England are playing in SA again
First T20 starts at 4pm today
Most of our squad have been keeping their game sharp in the IPL | |

The Australia and India game was a cracker too - in terms of scores posted that is. | |

Yep, should be a great series
Pretty good total by SA too, after we put them in | |

Great innings by Bairstow and Curran of the Sam variety continued where he left off in the IPL. Not sure why Wood was left out. | | | |

Another finely judged victory, Malan the outstanding batsman this time
The England batting line-up almost guarantees at least one of them will come off to make the required runs | |

Two games, two wins with probably 6/10 performances, which is the sign of a good side. The South African team is hardly full of novices, with key players coming off impressive performances in the IPL.
Like you said different players are standing up in different games. Malan and Rashid today. | | | |

Stand of 167 - the highest in T20I history - between Malan & Buttler takes England to 3-0 series victory
Only shame that Malan couldn't get the extra run for his ton | |

To win by 9 wickets with over two overs to spare is a rout. Malan is in the same company as Kohli and Azam average wise in T20. | | | |

1st ODI cancelled less than an hour before the toss, due to Covid in the SA camp
Players will all be re-tested and if no further cases, the game re-scheduled for Sunday | |

Off again. Can see them scrapping the series at this rate | | | |

What a mess it all is. With so much testing one false positive can thow a whole series in doubt. It is a shame as South Africa have three more series planned over their summer that could be cast in doubt. Some England players also have BBL contracts and time at home that could be in doubt if the pressumed positives in the England camp are actual positives. I suppose elite sportsmen have the access to getting multiple tests to verify a positive result. | | | |

Thankfully false positives so Bairstow and Trescothick (allegedly) don't have to isolate in their South African hotel until 15th December. | | | |
