CRICKET SA vs England

[WonderBob]

No amount of nut scratching will win this one for us, so u can stop now.

That's a tough one. I always thought that they should split it into bowler of the series and batsman of the series.

In England they normally choose 1 from each team, for some funny reason.

If so, it will be KP for England for sure.

And then probably between Biff and AB for us. Possibly Biff for his knock in that 3rd test.

In all honesty, I haven't really followed this series so I'm no real position to guess

In that case, all you need to see is Smith lifting that series trophy and the team celebration at the end.

When does the ODI's start?

When does the ODI's start?

We are playing a bunch of warmup games and then a T20 on the 20th of Aug en then the ODI's start on the 22nd.

I think man of the series is going to be Graeme Smith. A lot of runs in the series and and Captained SA to a historic series win.

South African fans so hard to please. We still want Ntini out?

yup, very hard to please.

On Ntini, based on his last performance, probably not, but you cant argue that he did have the best of series in England, especially compared to when he last toured there.

But he will come good, its more a matter of form than anything else, I think. And he will deliver the goods in Aus.

According to Cricinfo

In Eng series they choose a 'man of the series' from each team. The opposition coach chooses one. So Arthur chose KP and Peter Moores chose Smith.

I reckon it would have been Smith over KP if there was only one.

Gonna be a boring summer this year... only Bangladesh here...

We are going to OZ over Dec/Jan and then they come here over Feb/March.

That should be everything but boring...

I agree, smith basicly won us the 2de test with his 2de innings batting performance

you referring to the 3rd test?

But yes, Smith had a match saving hundred in the 1st test and a match winning hundred in the 3rd one.

Yeah, he saved one and won one.

Nice touch that it gets decided by the coaches.

Ok thats cool! No cricket on SA soil in December, thats a first right?

No, not a first, we always go to Aus first over December and they play here over Feb.

But I think that might be the only time we don't play at home over Dec. IOW when we play Aus.
