Big win by South Africa here I reckon

 

[Adamc]

Not a chance.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I'd have to back South Africa too. Vasbert Drakes?....

 

[Wazim]

i thought the pitch would be with more pace and seam..that is typcial SA conditions

 

[Neil Pickup]

i thought the pitch would be with more pace and seam..that is typcial SA conditions

I suggest you look at some of the other pitches... eg Galle...

 

[NikhilN]

Pitch conditions will not stay the same...if they are good for batsman now they wont be in other series

 

[Wazim]

maybe u should leave it to the mamanger sot curator the pitch...it makes more sense but they should have a degree of points...ie 20 points....and so on...

moreover galle is not in SA it is in lanka :P
