Proteas vs England Post series review

 


England won the test series 2-1 after an excellent performance in the last test at the oval to win the final test by nine wickets. 

Well done to England, who played better cricket throughout the series and came out on top at the end of the series. a well-deserved series win for them. 

Proteas have a lot of questions regarding their batting department and players from the test squad who are not part of white ball teams in the next few months should use this break to go away and refresh their minds and look to use the SA domestic first class to gain some confidence before the tour to Australia. 

Proteas have a lot of work to do when it comes to batting and hope to see them working on those problems and improving before the next series. 

The series for Proteas was lost due to lack of runs on the board as the bowlers were superb throughout the series but the batsman never played their part apart from the first test where proteas scored 326 that too with assistance from the bowlers who had to contribute with the bat as well. 

Both teams have a lot to work on going forward and both can be released that they will have a break from red-ball cricket as everyone turns their attention toward the T20 world cup. 

Match Summary 



Proteas are still holding onto a spot in the top 2 in the world test championship, but they are going to have to win at least 4 or 5 of their remaining matches to stay in contention of making the final.

The race for the final is wide open after the result of the test series between England and Proteas. This is going to be a very interesting race once test cricket resumes after the T20 world cup.

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...
