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

With the final set to happen in England at the Southampton cricket ground both teams are planning r they will make their way to England considering the testing times we in. Both teams will have to go into a quarantine of 10 to 14 days after reaching England before they can start practicing. New Zealand will be going to England before the end of this month as they have a test series against the English starting on the second of June.

Everyone is saying New Zealand will have an advantage going into the WTC final cause their players will have had some game time where Indian players would only have net practice and inter-squ...

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...

CSA 4 Day series Review

There have been some great performances through the season with both divisions going into the last round with 3 teams still having a chance to win the tournament.
