Wont rate sa as second best team just because they made it to wtc final. They had easiest fixtures and havent played aus or eng in this cycle

England needs a strong cricket more than cricket needs a strong England.

True but test cricket was perhaps the best it has been ever been from 1990-2005 and the Ashes were extremely uncompetitive

Yeah again, Test cricket was clearly the pinnacle then. It didn't need to compete with any, lest ODIs which were also big

SA beat the Windies and Bangladesh away. I couldn't imagine England doing that.

Agreed, but I could totally imagine England beating SA Home and Away. It's just a match up that suits.

That's fair
