Pakistan unchanged again!

 

[Neil Pickup]

After the tragic tour of Pakistan, I feel I really should have picked spinners.

Nonetheless, back to flat old Afrika now. And another unchanged side and some good long Aussie sledging.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Unchanged England team, please.

I have a good allround side, for spinning tracks and pace tracks. I am unchanged for the umpteenth time in a row. (Trumpet blowing never hurts!:P)

Oh, and, victory coming up. :P
