Another 1 starting today and the Sarf Africans have got thier knickers in a twist over Keiswetter? declaring his intentions to play for England next year as he qualifies in Feb......talk of England taking him to Bangladesh and capping him to stop him playing for them.......heard he has got very good reviews on the county circuit and could he be the answer to what has been a problem area?

England bowlers currently being slaughtered by the SA openers in the 2nd T20 match.

SA 192/2 (14.4 overs)

Smith's 88 was stunning

Some amazing hitting in there but I don't think I've ever before witnessed such a truly inept bowling display as that.

Sajid Mahmood in particular was diabolical, when he wasn't bowling full tosses he was bowling slower ball long hops, which Loots Bosman rather liked. The guy's a complete fool and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near international cricket.

Rashid admittedly only got one over but that was pretty awful. This is going to be a red rag to the yorkshire bull on here but I just don't get it with Rashid. Yes his batting is quite useful but I've yet to see anything thats impressed me bowling wise. And I don't see how him getting carted about the place in 20/20 is going to improve his confidence.

Says it all that Joe Denly was called on to bowl really. And then England never even looked bothered with that run chase. How out of depth did Denly look? At least he made Alistair Cook look good.

Re Craig Kieswetter - very good batting keeper, not seen enough of his keeping to comment on that side of things. Keeping regularly at Taunton can't be particularly taxing though can it??

Wouldn't be surprised if he did go to Bangladesh just to keep him away from SA, but he has said he is committed to getting England qualification so it may not be as pressing as the ECB may think.

2nd ODI

SA 223/8 (46.4 overs)

Good perforance by the English bowlers so far.

I see the batsmen didn't do too badly either, finishing it off with ease. Great knock by Collingwood apparantly.
