England tour of South Africa 09/10

Botha's action is suspect; I doubt he'll get many games at all in the future.
 
Not this again :facepalm

Botha has been cleared as long as he does not bowl the doosra.
 
Poor bowling, poor batting (though considering we were chasing 350...), well done South Africa.

We should have Dimi as one of our bowlers, he's always reliable.
 
Duminy will have to learn how to play bouncers. This is what happens when you play good, they work out your weaknesses.
 
Didnt get to see the match, how was Parnell? Was this an actually deserved 5fer or a bullshit one like he got in the CT
 
What a knock by De Villers, I can see him filling the role Ponting does for us by being able to play any sort of knock. Petersen looks good as well, once again made runs.
 
Yeah, those 2 batted really nicely, especially ABDV, exceptional innings. Amla and Smith went well as well. England just didn't really get going. Strauss looked in excellent form, Collingwood's playing like a man possessed and Pietersen got some time at the crease, but we never looked likely to chase down 350.
 
If you guys were ever going to pull it off, I would say either Wright or KP needed to play the innings of their life.
 
England should just drop Wright already. Such a massive waste of space. Bresnan too.
 
Amla doing good in that opening spot. He might become a permanent opener in ODIs and Tests too. One of the more underrated cricketers around.
 
Amla and Peterson have given the selectors a real headache, what will do with Kallis when the next series comes. Great batting by AB, risk free cricket, he didn't even need to hit a six. Amla gave another good performance as did Peterson. Smith also looks like he is recovering his form which is not the greatest news for the English. Parnell bowled well, finally going for a lowish econamy rate and Morne Morkel showed his promise for the Test Series with some great play and misses.
