*Official* England in South Africa Thread

Fair play to Fred. Deserved his four wickets. :)

Harmy's form (or lack of it) now starting to become cause for bit of concern. Great 1st over (or 1st 5 balls of it), but his last to Boje was loada tripe. Short, wide & begging to be hit.

Pah, time for fat man Freddie to get some of his own medicine methinks...

Shame we don't have "the pain" Steyn to dish it out!

I hate to see this... especially with bowlers...

Captaincy and selection not meeting eye to eye.

Langeveldt was picked in the team. Correct me if Im wrong but isnt he a genuine swing bowler? Hence, he should have the new ball over Ntini who, despite being a good bowler, doesnt really make the batsman play enough with the new ball, and also doesnt need the new ball to be effective.

Smith is either having a bat piece of captaincy, or he doesnt rate the selection of Charl Langeveldt.

Nah, otherwise I would have said that..

Lang should have had the new ball, yeah.. And is Ntini's place actually a safe one? (colour of skin notwithstanding)

Ntini will never get dropped. Basically cos of the quota system. Unless you have a half decent black / asian bowler waiting in the wings to take his place. That or you have to bring Tsolekile back. 8-)
