Match Presentation: Saf vs Eng

Well it was a great victory for South Africa in the opening match of the PCC Champions Trophy. Welcome to the match presentation live on Supersport TV!

Well I am joined with Ian Botham here in the commentary box. Ian is joining us down here in South Africa as England were playing today

Thanks Mark, I'm Glad to be here.

Now Ian it was a great match you reckon?

: Yes it was and It was lucky of South Africa to win it in the end. They played well with good allround performances whilst England struggled with the bat and failed to defend their total whilst bowling.

: So that puts South Africa right up there on the points table after only one match.

: Now man of the match has gone to the opening batsman for South Africa Graeme Smith after his great start off innings for South Africa.

: Now to a preview of the next game of the PCC Champions Trophy.

: Well It will be Australia taking on New Zealand. Australia have named their starting xi for their match tomorrow which consists of (in order) 1.Adam Gilchrist 2.wdfu_ben91 3.Mike Hussey 4. Offspinner 5. Left_Hander 6. RIPPA MATE 7. Dydl 8. madmick96 9. Brett Lee 10. Rickyp 11. Glenn McGrath
We are still waiting for the lineup from New Zealand However.

: Well do you have any thoughts on this game Ian?

: It always is a great match when these two Trans Tasman sides battle it out. As Australia always have the upper hand in whenever they play, it will still be a great series as New Zealand have some great new Players entering the PCC.

: Thanks for joining us wherever you have been watching around the world. You can catch the match tomorrow live on Supersport from Cape Town. The times displayed on screen are South AFrican time.

Great win for us, yes Voldemort it was a hard pitch, I put in a request to the curator to make it a typical hard pitch, but Cape Town will be a normal pitch for this next match.

PCC Exclusive Press Conference

PCC Chairman Brett_Lee has confirmed a special series after the PCC Champions Trophy. The special comp is going to be hosted in Australia and there will be a 3 Match OD Series and 3 Match Test series.

The special series will be the ICC XI vs PCC XI. He said, "Seeing most ICC players have been playing Domestic with few playing at international level, we decided to have a little competition. Its a good chance to see some of the new players to come through to a high level of rep cricket."

One of the members of the Audience of the Press Confrence said "What about series' like Ashes?" He replied, "This comp will be done as quick as possible after the Champions trophy. If it delays the Ashes it shouldnt be done and at the end of the day, its my decision."

Seeing this, the ICC Board have named an ICC squad of 20
