Predictions for England v South Africa (starts on Thursday)

It's a 5 test series, I think that the First test will be a draw and there will be another draw. England will win two games to South Africa's one, thus winning the series

...

I think England will win just (like you said Saint), but will get thrashed in the One dayers. Should be a good, competitive series.

I think SA will win with 3 games. England might get 1 to make them feel better. The form at the moment is just so dissapointing.

Well England seem pretty good in tests at the moment, but they are awful at one dayers, who is your favourite player?

Gotta be James Anderson. He's been impressive everytime I've seen him bowl.

I suppose a lot of the player from the 2005 ashes, Flintoff, Harmison, Hoggard are all looking a lot stronger again.

Guess I'm just a pessimistic old man... who happens to be 20!

Neither Flintoff, Harmison or Hoggard are in the current team.

Can tell somebody doesn't follow cricket.

hoggard should not have been dropped!
Anderson is good, but also has some really bad days.
Harmison still deserves his place as far away from the team as possible!
I say...bring back Jones!

I back England to edge the series...just!

I hope we get Smith out early, love to see the look on his face

So England make a record in cricket!!




























In naming an unchanged team for the sixth successive time

Well least we can break some sort of record I suppose.

England are batting first.

What great batting it's been, they are 108-0, great start by England.

You jinxed it Strauss is out for 44, the score is 117-1.

Oh dear the collapse is on 117-3. Cook makes 60, and Vaughan 2. Not looking good now.

Typical England, looking like they are in a good position then throw it away.

England get through to tea at 163-3.

Bell needs a big score, or that could be him out of the team with Flintoof coming back.
