The 2007 side hadn't played any cricket for a long time and it showed. I'm predicting 3-0 to South Africa. Kallis and co. are bound to hurt our bowlers at least a couple of times and I doubt we have the batting to withstand sustained performance from the South African bowlers. I think there will be bright spots, maybe even whole days, but we will lose all three games.

It's been working a treat of late. Bet on England to win both of the first two tests against Pakistan, and got rewarded with a couple of fantastic upsets.

I was watching a playoff game in Canada - a fellow kept on bringing us bad luck in the pub, whenever he went to the washroom we scored though. In the end the crowd locked him in the washroom for the 3rd period.

On paper I would say SA will win.
Unfortunately cricket is played on grass, not paper :-/ Anyway, my SA side would pretty much be the one that did duty in the last Test against SL. So: Petersen Smith Amla Kallis De Villiers Rudolph Boucher Philander Steyn Morkel Tahir Personally I think its time to put Boucher out to pasture. He is far past his best, and we have a number of guys in FC cricket at home who are pushing for a place in the side. But he is the Test squad, and he is best keeper we are taking over. I also don't know how Robin Peterson is in the touring party for the Tests. |

He's out at least 4 weeks, with basically 4 weeks between his injury and the 1st ODI against South Africa.
I doubt he plays the ODIs (well, I don't want him to), Tests are more important. Last edited by KiWiNiNjA; 05-02-2012 at 03:20 AM. |

Odds on Abdv making a real quick 100 on this tour?
Can't wait to see Philander bowl again.

What with the Zimbabwe series and ODIs first, we might get a nice bit of confident momentum happening for the Test series. Just checked, and we've only played South Africa 6 times in ODIs in the past 5 years, winning 3 and losing 3. On paper SA's side is stronger, easily, but we've shown we can steal matches out from under them, and while ODI performance shouldn't have too much weight on Test performance, I think if we can get a ODI series win, a Test win and a tied series will be on the cards. I'll go same as Bahnz; 1-1.
