By

 


England have taken firm control of the 2nd test after captain Stokes and Foakes both scored magnificent centuries to help England post 415-9 declared a lead of 264.  

The Morning session resumed with England on 111-3 and Bairstow and Crawley Started off Steadily as Proteas bowlers got some movement off the pitch in the first couple of overs. Nortje got the first wicket of the day as he had Bairstow out for 49 and caught Erwee in the slips and soon after Nortje got the wicket of Crawley caught behind for 38. 

This is when Stokes and Foakes got together and put up a partnership of 173 as they put England in total control of the test match. Stokes was out for a well-played 103 shortly after Tea. Stuart Broad, Ollie Robinson and Jack Leach all stuck around to support Foakes to get to his hundred. Shortly after Foakes got to his well-deserved century Leach was out bowled by Maharaj and England declared their innings to give Proteas 9 overs to bat before the close of play.

The Proteas opening batsman survived the 9 overs to take Proteas to 23-0 at stumps. Tomorrow will be a big day for the Proteas as they will have to bat the whole day to get themselves back into the test match.

SA20 review

By
 The SA20 season 2 has ended with Sunrisers Eastern Cape successfully defending their title to win back-to-back titles. The Sunrisers were the team to beat as they played an excellent brand of cricket and dominated throughout the tournament winning 7 matches and losing 2 with 1 no result to top the table in the league stage.  The final of SA20 season 2 was played by the 2 best teams of the tournament the Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Durban Super Giants. Sunrisers proved too good for Super Giants beating them by 89 runs to not only successfully defend their SA20 title but also win the head-to-head between the 2 teams 3-1.  SA20 season 2 saw some unbelievable performances with quite a few young South African players taking the opportunity and shining. The young standout SA batsman were:  Rickelton 530 runs ave 58.88, strike-rate 173.77 Breetzke 416 runs ave 32, strike-rate 135.50  Stubbs 301 runs ave 60.20, strike-rate, 168.15   Mulder 297 runs...

Proteas vs England 3rd ODI

By
  The ODI series between Proteas and England ended with a 2-1 win for the Proteas. The series has been competitive and entertaining.  Proteas won the toss and chose to bowl. They started off well but then Buttler and Malan put together a partnership of 232 off 211. This partnership brought England right back into the match as they recovered from 14 for 3 to post 346-7 in their 50 overs.  In reply, the Proteas were always ahead of the scoring rate, the only problem was they lost wickets at regular intervals, which is why they ended up being bowled out for 287. Archer was the star picking up 6-40 of 9.1 overs. England won the match by 59 runs. The Proteas can take a lot of positives from this series as they have given themselves a good chance to gain the last direct qualification spot.  Writer : Ebrahim Yusuf Omar
