South Africa win and win the series 2-0.
Fuck.
South Africa win and win the series 2-0.
Fuck.
SA are the best team in the world
England
They have had a bit of a horror show since taking that top spot
Taylors career over?
KP back in
No brainer for sure
TMS waxing lyrical about Philander. Apparently his stats at this stage of his Test career is better than any bowler in history
Before i forget, Beefy
Still think England will be number 1 for a long time to come?
Didn't expect that at he start of the series. I guess I should've listen to my own advice: As a great man once said, "At home, everyone is king". And the South Africans are feeling right at home in England as usual.
I'm backing India to be above England by November. India have got a couple of silly Test gimmes against New Zealand starting next week. Then it's the stupid Twenty20 tournament. And then England travel to India for 4 Tests. Cannot wait for that.
Strauss can do one. Time for Cook to captain it tbf.
Also, on to the ODIs - think that starts on Friday.
Anyway i dont think England have another series for a while and they can now concentrate on the important stuff such as the T20 World Cup and retaining it.
Tests as proven by the low attendance today and the lack of interest throughout the world for the whole series for the 2 best teams is on a downward spiral with no hope of being saved.
Kallis is the best all rounder ever imoBBC Test Match Special's Geoff Boycott
"I always get asked who are the best players around, but I think the best player of the last 20 years has been Jacques Kallis, and I don't just go on records. He keeps getting runs, wickets and catches, he plays one-day cricket just as good. The Indians don't like it when I say that as they love Sachin - he's been great, as was Lara, but Kallis has been the best."
Tendulkar is a Cricketing God though
He is indeed the Jacques of all trades.
Not interested in a pissing contest - Boycott's entitled to his views, which are reasonable. It's much more physically demanding to maintain a 50 batting average over so many years and then go out and bowl pace. And Kallis' longevity in that respect is incredible.
Philander sounds so posh!!
