Frightening start #CWC25 By South Africa
Surprise
That too when he struggled badly against Lesi Smith’s crazy drift and nuts-bunt changes and delivery delivery.
Read the pitch completely wrongly
Hope they bounce back firmly! https://t.co/rxus43rzb9

Yesterday, Nut Skivor-Bunt told us that it was England’s side “chalk and cheese”, which was at the end of ash thrashing.
Well, from that point of view, this victory was quite a statement. #ENGVSA
