Finny and Jimmy - take us back to the GABBA ODI against the Aussies in 2011.

 

[Sulaiman7]

On a hattrick but noone left .

And there goes Finn, SA #1!

Since Bairstow came in I think England have made a valiant effort. If only our top order had bothered to value their wicket.

Imran Tahir is so over-rated. He's awful. Is he really better than having Paul Harris in the side?

Time for England to learn. Strauss out, Cook's time in the Test arena is now.

It won't happen though, we'll continue to carry Strauss until the end of the Ashes down under next year, then he'll retire.

Great Africa series , they defeated England and England and become the # 1 in test .

# 1 : Bye bye England .

Gutted. Outplayed

But

What a game, Test Cricket the winner here today. Well Played MP, GS, SB and JB..

Imagine if Strauss, Cook, Bell and Taylor could have made 51 runs between them as opposed to 10

Well done both the teams for terrific cricket and the series. Wish there could be 2 more tests here. Anyways, England played like a champion team, no doubt. South Africa deserve to be number 1, no doubt. Hats off, what fantastic cricket! Test cricket ftw!

Not for long; we'll be back. And we're still No.2 - where are Pakistan again?

What an amazing passage of play that was! It was that run out that did us - I can never understand it when players don't dive. Still, Swann played very well. I'm sure had those two stayed in, we would've got there. Never mind. Well played, SA.

First time since Jo'burg 04-05, a test match involving England & South Africa has seen the side batting first emerge victorious.

 

[barmyarmy]

England 1-5 in this series: 896 runs (take away KP and becomes 677 runs)
England 6-11 in this series: 727 runs

Well played South Africa! Deserve to be No.1! Winning an away series to claim the No.1 ranking is the best thing ever. England got the No.1 ranking winning at home against India (and India did the same too winning home games), but winning away and getting the top rank is just awesome-ness.

Kirsten - WE MISS YOU MORE NOW!!!

Pakistan is at #4 and will one day become 1 .
