I can't see if happening, but if we get off to a quick start maybe the Saffers arses could drop. Although the fact the bookies have the draw at 1/33 probably tells you all you need to know.

We're more likely to lose than SA. I could see a vintage Aussie or West Indies pulling this off but not anyone else.

Pietersen and Cook opening. I think we're gonna go for it. If these two get out cheaply we've got Strauss and Trott still to come in and drop anchor.
 
Bit dissappointed at this now. Strauss in at three to presumably bat properly and play out a draw....... Our attempt at the win lasted 19 balls, mind KP didn't even need to play that shot.
 
Thing is like, 5 an over for the first 19 overs is still very possible whilst playing proper shots, that'd then leave us a very gettable 20 over score :-D
 
Agree with that Steak. The commentators are dismissing any chance of a result but I think England definitely are contemplating having a go at it.
