I was going to send you the link about Ravi

Back in the team, and as you say, on merit this time. All the important South Africans are out injured

Still only a 3 test series though, shame but given the weather it would just lead to thousands of disappointed punters.


Just looking forward to the 10th July 2013 now, counting down the days.......... whitewash did I hear you predict?

Oh and WHAT an innings from KP though. Christ he knows how to hit a ball

Did you see his tweet the other day? He was complaining that it's lonely as a batsman, he only has the wicketkeeper to talk to as all the fielders are out on the boundaries pmsl

Let's get in on, cant wait for these 3 tests, the worlds two best teams at it, I just cant decide who will prosper, the batsmen or the bowlers, due to all the rain the pitch will do loads.

Also KP loves playing the saffers

So much to look forward to !!!

Thick black clouds out in West London this morning drifting towards the Oval

Absolutely, shame to lose Strauss so cheaply but we haven't suffered to badly as a result. Still, isn't it the captains job to rub grass into the ball

Love the win the toss and bat, wait there's clouds, oh we'll bat anyway mentality. Take it to them and let the bowlers kick some ***. It'll be over by day 3

When you analyse Straussy going for zip, The toss was delayed for 25 minutes but the start of the match was delayed for only 15 minutes, this meant after the toss he is contractually obliged to do an interview in the middle with Sky, then give TMS an interview and then Channel 5, this left him 12 minutes to get back upstairs, pad up and get back onto the pitch, that is bloody ridiculous !!!

Incredible result for The Saffers against the worlds best team, made us look like amateurs even when we thought we were doing well

No need to make big changes,must drop Bell and that should be good enough.

I can't believe Amla got Man of the Match, I had Ravi nailed on with those majestic performances. Proof if ever we needed it he can only do it against the smaller cricketing nations such as the West Indies and Australia
