Lol. I am bit suprised to see some South African supporters among English people. What is wrong with supporting your own country team even when they are losing? :P I am die-hard South African supporter and I am still on high after the amazing victory (esp. wonderful 154 not out by Graeme Smith). Now at last South Africa has won the series in England since 1965. :D

Excuse me, I am going to celebrate some more. ;)

Congrats to all you saffers.

You really outplayed England in the last two tests. I have a lsight feeling that England were a bit on the downside of a few umpiring decisions (they just went against them on a few crucial moments), but from the second innings at Lords, south africa have been the dominant team. Even without Steyn in the last test.

Enland team is really in need of a shake up. Cook and strauss arent getting centuries. Vaughan isnt scoring Runs. Pietersen is a brillant nutcase.
Bell is talented but doenst impose himself. He never really dominates like real good batsmen do. You dont have to smash the bowlers around, atherton or dravid in their prime were like stone walls. They scored more slow but they grinded bowlers down. With bell its just like he will score some runs but when has he really played a dominant innings that wins England a test?
Collingwood should have been dropped before the series for Shah.
He might have saved his place with that 100 but I still have my doubts.
So lets bring in Key for Strauss, Shah for Vaughan and Bopara for collingwood.

The bowling isnt much better. Panesar isnt getting enough wickets. Neithe ris broad and he still has a lot of learning to do. Anderson is brilliant when it swins and rubbish when it isnt. Sidebottom has been bowled into the ground the last year.

Maybe it's time to see if simon jones had got something left. Forget about harmison, Hoggard might come in to take the place of sidebottom or anderson.

Soyth africa look very healthy. Smith, Mckenzie, Amla, Kalles, Prince and De Villiers have all done their part. Morkel and Steyn look great for the future. Maybe Ntini is getting on a bit, and I dont think Nel is a quality bowler. Harris is pretty ordinary. But I think they are the number 2 team in the world atm, looking forward to them taking on the aussies.

Hee, hee. I thought that we are going to lose when we were 93/4 after being 65/0. I thought, "Oh no, not another batting collapse." But Graeme was magnificent and was greatly supported by AB de Villers & Mark Boucher. Thank goodness for those gritty and determined batting. Flintoff was very dangerous (see how he removed McKenzie and Kallis) and Paneser was also very good. Phew. Sidebottom has plenty of areas to improve but Anderson is quite poor. Yes, I was wondering where the hell is Hoggard. His swing bowling would have helped England alots. Lol, Nel isn't quality bowler but he use his aggression to unsettle the batsmen. :D Ntini is going bit stale but there is still plenty of fire in him.

So who do you prefer to be a captain of England as Vaughan has stepped down? The way I see from here, Pietersen looks like the best man for the job.
