Some nice shots from England ATM.

Its better for SA if australia win right? I haven't had a good look at the points table yet.

 

[Brawler]

yup, australia are at the top and will stay ther. So rather give them the points than another team that could take our spot.

 

[kiepie]

But it feel so wrong...

 

[feo]

So wins against Windies and England are the ones we have to bank on to prevent them moving up.

"Our" boy Pietersen is looking good for England.

 

[krycor]

They going along quite nicely. Still we need them to loose it. Go aussie go

LOL What's going on with the Aussie's fielding??

 

[feo]

Eish Hayden, the day we need you aussies to pull through and win you guys dont perform...pfffft. But I dunno why, I still seem to enjoy watching Pietersen bat.

 

[kiepie]

Well, I'm thinking now...

If Rudi was not in the way, Pietersen would still be on strike. Then Bell wouldn't be out now.

Same on you Rudi...

 

[kiepie]

167-4 now

Collingwood gone

 

[feo]

Rudi, go you good thing! haha

247 England all out

You guys got the Nos1 ranking through OZ dropping series - not because SA played better.

Agreed, Aus are definitely a better team at the moment. My argument was just that SA are not a lousy team like JK8 was making out. They are up there with the best but too one dimentional right now.

 

[mancombseepgood]

SA are definately not the all round team at the moment and haven't been for some time... just take the bounce out of the pitch and the pace off the ball and we don't look very professional... and on that kind of pitch we tend to give the opposition what they need to score runs in our many many many pace bowlers.

 

[krycor]

hrm grenada pitch is newish apparently so not sure what to expect there on tuesday

 

[GTi]

Looks like Ntini is becoming an allrounder at the rate SA is playing.

247 England all out

Oz win by 7 wickets....

Things are not looking good for SA right now.

 

[Boodles]

Good win on sluggish pitch for OZ. I must say OZ looking good so far. Oh - haven't u guys lost your no1 ranking? Thought i heard commentator mention this last night. If this is the case, it didnt last long.

 

[chiskop]

Looks like Ntini is becoming an allrounder at the rate SA is playing.

Err yes, his bowling and batting are equally good, unfortunately.
