Scorecard:
England 111 all out (19.5 overs)
(Owais Shah 38 off 33 balls, Parnell 3 for 14, Kallis 2 for 20)
South Africa: 114 for 3 (16.4 overs)
(Kallis 58* off 49 balls, Gibbs 30 off 30 balls, Broad 1 for 14, Swann 1 for 27, Rashid 1 for 24)
England put up a lifeless display and except for Owais no one actually had much to say. Probably they are happy being in Super 8 and happier that Australia is out. These are not Ashes buddy!
That South Africa made a terribly slow start despite being on the top in the match, was no dampener as South Africa didn’t lose wickets and were comfortably placed to press the accelerator when they wanted. Kallis saw to it that they didn’t give any chance for England to pull a trick out of their sleeve.
Do England have any trick up their sleeve nowadays?
