England vs Proteas 2nd Test Preview

The second test match between England and South Africa gets on the way tomorrow morning at Old Trafford Manchester and the I'm excited to see some good test cricket being played tomorrow. I will be supporting Proteas. Who will you be supporting?

England will be out to prove their new approach to test cricket is sustainable and that it can bring them long-term success. The England openers will want to put some big scores on the board as they are running out of opportunities to stay in the team. The rest of the England batting order will be hoping Lords was a once-off and they can return to the form they have shown throughout the English summer.

England have announced their starting 11 for tomorrow making one change bringing in Ollie Robinson in place of Potts.

Proteas will be looking to continue from where they left off in the first test and put in another winning performance to seal the series 2-0. Proteas hope their middle order will contribute significantly and help them score big on the board. The Proteas bowlers will look to continue their excellent work from the 1st test and look to continue restricting the English batsman.

Proteas will announce their team at the toss tomorrow and whoever wins the toss will bowl first.

My predicted 11 for Proteas

Proteas: 1: Dean Elgar, 2: Sarel Erwee, 3: Keegan Petersen, 4: Aiden Markram, 5: Ryn Rickelton, 6: Kyle Verrynne, 7: Marco Jansen, 8: Keshav Maharaj, 9: Kagiso Rabada, 10: Anrich Nortje, 11: Lungi Ngidi

This series also has world test championship points at stake for England it's an opportunity to stake a case to finish in the top five of the world test championship and for Proteas, it's an opportunity to seal a spot in the world test championship final

Proteas vs India 2nd test Day 1 review

The second test match between Proteas and India kicked off on a high note with the hosts putting up a horrendous batting performance on day 1. The Proteas team won the toss and elected to bat first, but they failed to make the most of the opportunity as the Indian bowlers wreaked havoc on the home team's batting line-up bowling them out for 55. Mohammed Siraj was the chief destroyer with 6 wickets for 15 runs in 9 overs. He was equally supported by Mukesh and Bumrah both taking 2 wickets each. The Indian team lost their first wicket early on, with Jaiswal departing for a duck. The rest of the top-order batsmen struggled to get going as well, and the team was bowled out for 153. However, a brilliant counter-attacking innings from Markram helped the home team to 62-3 at stumps to steady the ship. It was an excellent day for bowlers on both sides as 23 wickets fell for 270 runs. The Proteas bowlers, led by Rabada and Lungi Ngidi, were impressive after t...

England crowned T20 world Champions for the 2nd time.

Congratulations to England on becoming T20 world champions for the second time. England has become only the second team to win the T20 world cup more than once after winning the 2022 T20 world cup. England is currently the best team in white ball cricket. The brand of cricket they play is just admirable. England's aggressive brand of cricket has made them one of the most dangerous teams in the world and they transition this bold brand into their test game. Going forward, they will be one of the most hazardous sides across all three formats. The final was mostly dominated by England as they won the toss and chose to bowl 1st. Pakistan had a decent start and looked good until the 11th over and then fell away as England's bowlers squeezed the run flow Pakistan's middle order was not up to the task as they could only manage to post 137-8 in their 20 overs. Overall Pakistan's batting was poor today as they struggled to get away from the England bowlers. The turning point i...
