Nice piece Dave but, if you don't mind me saying, unduly pessimistic - it'll be 2-0 to England, unless the sun shines right through August, in which case it will be 3-0

South Africa look so good on paper.


If de Villiers keeps, will they play an extra batsman? You'd think he's remain at 5.

You'd think if AB keeps and bats at 5, it would be great if they had another high quality bat at 7, or a batting all-rounder if there is one around?

Kallis already fills the batting all-rounder slot, so I'd imagine they'd play Rudolph. Is he in the squad?

Rudolph would play ahead of Duminy; no indications at all that they were about to change that.

But Duminy will still play now that Boucher is out.

Yeah, highlight of the season if - and it's a big if - the rain stays away. I think I'm right in saying that no series between these sides since 1994 has been decided by more than a single Test, although the 2-1 in 1999-00 was a tad artificial for reasons we all know about. Not going to make myself look foolish by making predictions, just looking forward to seeing Philander's average go up past 30. :p
