England in South Africa

[squiz]

Now i've said this watch them win the game today :

You got the Smith LBW guess right a whle ago, now this

 

[barmyarmy]

Well I recko 290 will be beyond us to chase in this game. Well done to Gibbs, Kallis and Kemp at the end.

 

[squiz]

The last two overs produced 32 runs, that's what killed you in the end

 

[Gibbsrules]

South Africa just have what it takes to beat a team of Bangladesh material

Doesn't say much about the English team,does it then???
Gibbs played superbly with Kallis again and Kemp killed you guys.So many sixes,but its not over yet.England have the likes of Trescothick,Collingwood and Pietersen,but it is going to have to be a great run chace.

I think its safe to say that SA are back though. :cheer

Damm myself, i prefict england to reach this total!

 

[barmyarmy]

I disagree. You're playing a very poor ODI side as I've said consistently in this thread. On top of that Flintoff is back home and Harmison has forgotton how to bowl. I think SA are playing well but don't over-estimate the achievement of beating England at One Day Cricket.

South African cricket is back, only our test cricket to click back , then we will rule the cricket yet again

 

[Stephen Bailey]

I don't think its right to say SA cricket is back yet, but its definately improving all the time. It will really pick up IF the selectors, pick a side on merit, instead of picking players like Ashwell Prince and Adam Bacher for the one day squad. From what i've heard (which may be wrong) Prince is averaging under 20 in domestic one-day cricket this year! Why Klusener wasn't picked atleast for his bowling, no one knows. For the test's, I think they just about got it right for the final test.

 

[Gibbsrules]

Ashwell didn't bat all that badly today and in the series,so I think that he can stay for I while,but surely Rudolf is a better call.

Great win for SA by the way.We need this to boost our confidence and to have a chance of beating the Aussies at the years end.

 

[Maxkarter]

It is true about Rudolph and Prince, but Kemps batting has been good to, you can't doubt that. All we need is for his bowling to gain a bit of pace and he should then be an integral part of the side. (my opinion)

Its true Prince hasn't done a bad job is the series so far, but it was a strange decision to pick him in the first place when he hasn't had the best season in one-day cricket, with players like Rudolph and Klusener about.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Go South Africa!!!

 

[Inside_Edge]

Yes, thats the kind of result that I like! England trounced at Newlands yet again. S.A seem to have a decent team developing there. Justin Kemp hits the ball as far as anyone I have ever seen. Roll on the next one! :cheer

Justin Kemp hits the ball as far as anyone I have ever seen.

Flintoff? Cairns? Even Pieterson in this match.
