no credit 2 them, they r expected, it is wht thy 4. Bird Swan and Gems Underson like Bhajjia and Zakichan 4 India vs Aus saved the matching. Understend the emotion not the english.

SA should left the traditional test approach and should play like India and Aus. As I posted some days back that SA made less than 270 in a whole day. It was very slow batting. G.Smith should think about it.

test match has maximum 5 days now so 90 overs per day and 20 mandatory overs never bowled so it is my suggestion to start the test match 30 minutes early every day at 9.00 local time and make 96 overs every day so that in 5 days 96 x 5 = 480 overs will definitely produce results. HATS OF RICKY POINTING FOR 520-7 declaration like his ex boss steave wough poineer of risky declarations & poineer of result oriented test matches. so ICC must review all test matches wastage of time by players, umpires & get some viewers. for example there are empty chair in the stadium then like sachin tendulkar asked breborn stadium management to allow school kids to get free passes of test match from pocket of sachin. like this ICC must get some celebrity sponsorour for the empty chair to get occupied other wise stop test cricket. one more solution is to ask local cinema halls to sell test match tickets or like IPL ask players to sell tickets like circus jokers sell tickets in small towns

They are missing dale Steyn and Kallis the bowler. They would have turned the match in favour of them with their slow batting itself. They are just a wicket away from winning this match. I think the early wicket of Graeme Smith in both Innings is the set back for them.

Is D.Steyn injured?
SA should change themselves according to the pace of current cricket. They should score at least 300 in a day. Without Flintoff Eng have done very good so far in the tour.

Yes. But he can play the second test and Kallis will also start to bowl which is a boost from them, but whom they r going to drop for D.Styen is a big ?. It's fair to drop M.Ntini instead of M.Morkal or Friedel de Wet. Flintoff no more for test matches even in the past thy had done with out him several time. he was just a injury prone. After 2005 Ashes he just played only 12 odd tests out of 45 tests.
Without him England couldn't even dream to draw this match. He stand like a concrete pillar whenever England in crises. he done it twice within 6 months span now.
