The first match begins at Headingley today. Durham's batsmen, as they return to the hutch, will no doubt be solaced by watching the progress of Plunkett and Wood, and perhaps wondering what might have been. DeVilliers is available again, so on paper South Africa have the greater batting strength. Interesting to see how Stokes performs against them: perhaps a return to his extraordinary Test batting - which was white-ball batting, if that has any meaning any more - at Cape Town. www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-south-africa-2017/content/story/1099133.html |

He left Durham in 2012. |

England battering SA again in something that closely resembles a one day international, in that it's one day and it's international.
Where though, I wonder I do, where though is Mills? The X-factor man. England ain't discarded him already have they?

The X-factor man. England ain't discarded him already have they? A surprise win for SA. Sets it up nicely for the decider at Cardiff on Sunday. Mills has a back injury. |

That was a right balls-up. Astonishing display of arrogance and over confidence. Pathetic performance. Wish I never said it now.
Back injury eh? Too much bowling probably.

Your hyperbolic and baseless comments are quickly becoming tiresome. England, who were "battering SA again" came unstuck against some good death bowling, dwindling light and lacked experience at the end. A "balls-up" maybe but arrogance, over confidence and pathetic? Never. An enjoyable watch on a Friday evening. As for Mills he's bowled 20 overs since February and has a back condition so I assume you're just trolling (quite successfully might I add  ) |

My jokes you mean. Ever heard of self deprecation Leedsmartlet? No me either but there's no squiggly red line under the word so it must mean something.
To be completely serious for your sake, England did balls it up. 125-1, 50 odd needed off 38 odd I think it was. Gotta win them.

So why isn't Overton playing? I thought he should have played at Taunton. Plunkett is not a number 7.
England 1 Alex Hales, 2 Jason Roy, 3 Dawid Malan, 4 Jos Buttler (capt), 5 Sam Billings, 6 Liam Livingstone, 7 Liam Plunkett, 8 David Willey, 9 Chris Jordan, 10 Tom Curran, 11 Mason Crane.
