Drawing conclusions on the basis of just one test match win against a team which is on worst decline is not correct Mr Vaughan.
The fact is that English cricket team is still a mediocre team and lacks consistency.
Its going to be really difficult for India in SA. As usual the first team wont be India's best as has been the case but the remaining ones should be good. From SA's perspective they should prepare green top if they have to take a lead.

I do not think so. These days BCCI dictates its terms on every cricket board.
2 years back NZ made tailor made flat pitches for India in 2008 and Indian batsmen had a swansong in NZ for the first time. Otherwise, Team India always had a disastrous tour on NZ pitches earlier.
There would be no surprises if SA cricket board prepares placid wickets for Indian team (under pressure from BCCI money power) this time and India wins the series for the first time.

It sure is going to be tough battle. A battle between their pacers and our batters. England at the moment looks compact and a classy side, gelling very well under Strauss's leadership.

LOL. Looks like anothercritic is taking his own team of goondas to South Africa to beat them and is predicting the result of that clash.

Well with all these doesnt make Englishmen number one in the world. Usually, it is the habbit of British to claim superity with one win. First let them complete the series, 3 more to go.
