Awful Cricket From ODI Squad.

A greatly weakened England team played like a greatly weakened team would, at Newlands, in the first ODI.
Their feeble batting was the main problem. Posting a target of just 258 was asking for trouble on a pitch where losing wickets was quite difficult to achieve.
The South Africans did what England could not do and scored intelligently and steadily.
A cruise to a seven wicket win with 2.2 overs to spare.
In the first game since winning the ODI World Cup last summer - this was poor!
