England in South Africa

"You would have to wonder where the runs would come from if the big three miss out though."

True enough Colin, but I reckon that statement would be applicable for most teams. BTW, the weather report is not looking good for sunday...Thunderstorms for 5 days ina row predicted ;(

I'm sure the England team would be very happy for it to rain as we've already lost the series and they'll want to come home now.

Congrats to SA for the series win, but England were nowhere near their best. Trescothick, and Strauss out of form. Jones not playing all that great either. We will have to have all our players back fit and in full form before the next one day series.



Jones is a far better batsman than Read. Only a wicketkeeper who can bat well can survive today. Though I agree that Jones should be sent back to his original place of no.6 or no.7.

I think England did tamper a lot with the batting and bowling places in this series.

When fit this would be a decent team to field,
Trescothick, Solanki, Vaughan, Strauss, Flintoff, Pieterson, Jones, Giles, Wharf, Ali, Harmison

for ODIs put gough in there!

yeah, i think Hoggard is a cr** ODI bowler, to full. yeh i think Gough should be in there, still a very good ODI bowler

yes indeed i agree

 

[Sureshot]

hoggard though is a top test bowler but he isnt any good at ODIs.

 

[Trescothick]

Cracking start by England 4/43 off 17 overs

 

[brad352]

Another hundred for Pietersen, England's only good batsman right now is a bloody South African

 

[barmyarmy]

What a player! The commentators were saying that 180 would be an excellent score at one point...

 

[ZoraxDoom]

England 240 (49.5 ov)
116 off 110 for Pieterson.....

harmsion looks somthing like his old best.....

Congrats to South Africa on a comprehensive 4-1 series victory. With a bit of luck, it probably would have been 6-1 or even 7-0. Some of the matches were close but it was always RSA holding their nerve (except that tied game) to take the victory in the end. England have some major reconstruction to do in the ODI front.

I don't think a major reconstruction is needed, just flintoff back.

Great voctory for South Africa , a work in progress , England dont strike me as a great ODI team , their to much on the tests , SA are like Australia once they have found their feet, their a great ODI and test side , SA falling out of the 2003 WC was bad luck , they England played there was bad!, ICC final , have a chance of winning it but two tail-enders of the Windies secure victory against England

Kevin Pietersen absolutely brilliant, im a huge fan of him , well I hate him, comes into international cricket and makes runs and runs where as I a normal club player have to work my butt of to make a century ! , well I got 6 of em in One day
