[Garson007]

England win here would be incredible.

England win here would be incredible.

Can't see it happening with Pietersen out and Broad injured. They have no batsmen left after this pair.

**** YEAH! THE OZZIES ARE ONLY 1 WICKET AWAY FROM GETTING THE FABLED URN BACK!!! As a long-time Ozzie fan, I'm so happy I'm shaking right now

It's been well deserved. England could get a 5-0 here.

 

[atomcrusher]

Oh I love it when the English get beaten. Even more when they get thrashed as they have been. It's made my day.

Congrats, Ozzies Lehman's done a great job so far. I hope the Ozzies are actually back to dominating the world again this time. Mitchell Johnson <3 What a comeback (Hat offs) Hope he keeps that badass moutache after the Ashes series

Aussies and Poms have both gotten beat recently by the Proteas.


Proteas are better than both these average teams.

I am looking forward to seeing SA vs Aus next year, but let us not get ahead of ourselves, firstly I would love to see SA kick the Indians in the Punjab.

The Ozzies under Lehman are the Ozzies of old...very aggresive and decisive in their approach. Will not be the same team that got beat by us during the last 2 years.

We had better prepare well.

+1. They have a fair amount of mongrel back.

agreed but their batsman haven't faced quality bowling during this series. England's bowlers have been horrendous, a prime example was Jimmy getting hit for 28 in the last over of Australia's second innings. SA will be a different prospect

Also, Cook isn't captain material. He doesn't push the game forward in any way. He plays safe cricket and waits for opposition mistakes. When that doesn't work, he is clueless.

Anybody knows when we are playing them again?
