I had an argument with Nath over who was the better batsman.

Beat me to it. Another triumph for whoever's in charge of fitness with Team England.

Going by the completely dumb things they do (standing on a 3-4 foot high pile of tyres) the triumph could lie with a number of people.

The West Indian bowler in the Sky studio for Aus-WI this morning (I think it was Colin Croft) said that given the recent injury concerns surrounding every bowler in the attack, and the standard of the bowlers, England going in with only four bowlers + Collingwood on this pitch was a terrible decision. Will be interesting to see how the decision pans out.

Onions is ok to bowl in 20 minutes anyway. I've got no problem with this attack tbh, they've bowled decently on the whole. Just been some good batting and a pretty flat pitch, which has been exaggerated with an old Kookaburra ball. I'd hope we'll look more threatening with the new ball, especially if Onions is fit to bowl.

Combination of Kallis & Duminy looking completely untroubled, Anderson & Broad looking out of sorts, Onions apparently crocked and no other seamers in the side.
EDIT
Plus the pitch already showing signs of deteriorating and we'll be batting last.

Very well played King!
Once again Kallis shuts the mouths of some certain people with a great ton!

Was probably the worst shot he played as well, totally untroubled by everything, need a wicket early tomorow or we are in real trouble.
Forgot that Broad is actually pretty rubbish an awful lot of the time.

Average (first innings) score at Centurion is 309, uneven bounce already apparent, one fast bowler down and England won the toss.
South Africa will be delighted. Good first session tomorrow and they can bat England out of the game.

It would help if our opening bowlers hadn't sent down several truckloads of pies, and yes we are already looking in deep ****e. If the pitch dos continue to deteriorate as it looks like it already is, then Strauss's insertion will look even more brainless than it does now.
An object lesson in how to hand the initiative to the opposition at the start of a series.
