They will be the closest games, but I still expect England to come out on top.

we were outplayed in three out of four tests the last time we played

SA have always lacked a decent spinner but have now found one.

If one were being cynical one could argue half our side are South African anyway

and when will this decent spinner actually feature in the test side?

if the pitch was bouncy then you would expect it and could do that but it jumped off just back of a length and your natural reaction is to get bat on it or put your hands up.

It was short, but he had time to realise he was done and get his hands out of the way, not brave enough.

Has that guy just got out hooking? Seriously? :lol:
 
Plan executed perfectly. Everyone bowling brilliantly and this isn't going to last much longer.

And nearly got Yuvraj first ball too.
 
I don't want to go over the top but this reminds me of the great Australian side. Battling from being down in the game, posting a huge lead and then running through the opposition...... great to watch !! :-D

go on the bowling machine at 85mph and see how much time you have to get out the way:lol: if the bounce is unexpected its impossible

But if Sehwag was playing we'd have got hammered mate, and we aren't even as good as South Africa.

England are a better team now than in SA.

England have the best spinner in world cricket.

England bat deeper.

Take Kallis out and SA are a weaker batting/bowling side (now aged 36)

England have more strength in depth and are a younger team.

South Africa are a very good team, but for once in my life I personally am looking forward to the glory years of English cricket.
