England would have destroyed that Aussie side which the Saffers struggled against. Barring injuries England will be far too strong for them come the summer.

SA havent beaten anyone in a test series on their own turf in any conditions in 37 months.

and yet they are still second in the world which just goes to show that your myth about players being better in home conditions is just that a myth.
When they starting winning at home they will overtake us

I thought that was your myth :lol: England needing 'cloudy skies, damp wickets' 'just wait til they play in bright blue skies in Australia'

It makes no odds really - England were miles better than Australia who ran SA close, miles better than India and are a better team than SA.

You were wrong about us v the Aussies, wrong about us v India, wrong about us getting to Number one in the world but in fairness if you keep continually predicting us to lose then one day in the future you will of course be right.

Quite the contrary - Prior's improvement as a wicket keeper in the Carribbean when he conceded more byes than any other wicket keeper in the history of the game just about perfectly reflects Englands improvement as a team from that point onwards.

Its a fact of life. You can only really comment on a player at a moment in time they all have the opportunity to work at their games and improve. Your initial criticisms of Anderson for example were absolutely valid.
