England v South Africa test series

The English will continue to head hunt players who cannot cut it in their countries of birth...where is the pride in that.

KP dropped from the England team for the 3rd test. Man of the Match in his final test for England as this is now the end for him as far as international cricket for England is concerned. Glad to see that they have choosen an Englishman as his replacement and not another South African.

im disapointed that he will not be facing us because even with him in the team im sure we would thrash them in the 3rd test.i just hope wen the english media do there post mortems after lords test that they dont blame the KP saga as the reason for being toppled as no1 test team.

England have not been the number one team for a while...just ask the Pakis and Saffas!!!

Goodness me (said in my best English tones), I am amazed some of you have the strength to type these messages with all those chips seemingly weighing down your shoulders!!!!! Eat them ffs, it will do you some good!! ()

Only two test sides can be considered the best. The West Indies of the 80s and early 90s and the Aussies of the 90s and first part of the 00s. England have played some great cricket over the past 5 years but can never be held in the same esteem as those two sides. SA have been very good as well but have thrown away far too many tests to be number one. If Pakistan had a team of 11 so called clean players then nobody will beat them as they are just a fantastic cricketing nation. Australia will be back and within 3 years they will be the top side again. Looking forward to the final test just hope the Peterson is fit to play as he was phenominal at Headingly. SA should drop Tahit and bring in Robin Peterson as the left arm spinner usually does well bowling down the slope at Lords and he is a better batsman as well.

Today captain GS makes history...he breaks the record for the number of times anyone has captained their country...very well done...however there are still so many that want him dropped.

Well done to GS. Never going to be the best captain test cricket has seen but much improved, far too young when initially appointed. As a player, anyone who wants him dropped needs their head examined or imho just have little understanding of cricket, he is absolutely top class.

Watch out for this wicket, Lords can produce belters but can just as often produce wickets that look like belters but actually do a lot. England to level the series.

Hey Englander

did not know that you can post in your dreams re the statement made by yourself that England will level the series.

{snotklap to E's head}.... Stop talking from the heart and use your head man {rapid b!tchslap}..The best England can hope for is a draw !!

If England bat first we only bat once ......

Not a Barmy song but following the above requests...

I have a dream, a song to sing, to help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of the fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels, something good in everything I see
I believe in angels, when I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream

All together now... I have a dream <

watching this with my scotland goggles on,whats a good score for SA today? not clued up in the game tbh..
