Australia really should've been whitewashed at home to RSA TBF. And that was against a South African team missing its two best players. So as much as u talk about RSAS loss to England at home, they easily rolled Australia in Australia. If Oz somehow manage a draw or better in India, then we'll just have a congested bunch of teams at number 1. There's no way Oz can be considered as such (indisputably) no matter what they do in India.Australia also have a great home record. Perth was the first time in 4 years any team won a Test in Australia. New Zealand in 2011 are the last team other than South Africa to win there.
It's not quite as good as India's home record (think only England in 2012 and possibly South Africa at some point have taken Tests off them this decade) but it's still pretty formidable.
I still say people are over-rating South Africa. They put up a performance as pathetic as any by Australia when touring Asia when they were last in India (and no, they don't get a free pass because the pitches were difficult) and got soundly beaten at home by England less than 12 months ago.
Yup, don't think too many will disagree with that as of this moment.Between SA and India. It could change by the end of next year
Steyn injured himself early in the 2nd innings of the 1st test and Philander didn't play at all.Just remind me fellas, were SA full strength in England's last tour there?
Cheers, thought something must have been slightly amiss there.Steyn injured himself early in the 2nd innings of the 1st test and Philander didn't play at all.
Steyn injured himself first Test.Just remind me fellas, were SA full strength in England's last tour there?
Not getting your logic here, of course you can pardon SA a little for not having their two premier bowlers Steyn & Philander against England, whilst at the same time giving them massive bouquets for beating Australia in their backyard without AB & Steyn.hang on, we can't be jerking off to them winning in australia at less than full strength and then be excusing them when they lose to england at less than full strength. especially when england's leading bowler was broken too.
Why?hang on, we can't be jerking off to them winning in australia at less than full strength and then be excusing them when they lose to england at less than full strength. especially when england's leading bowler was broken too.
