***Official*** South Africa in England - Page 10 - Cricket Web | Thread profile

Was checking out the July Foxtel TV Guide (for Aussie viewers). This series gets a good screening on Fox. I think only one night of the first three Tests starts at the later time of 10:30pm. For all other days of the Test, the coverage commences at the begining of the day's play. Hoping for a Kallis run fest, tbh.

England in a canter.

Hardly.

Dammit I was so going to start this. Anyway, should be interesting as post-readmission series between these countries almost always have been. Will be particularly interested to see who I'll be supporting.

How am I to know? Probably during the First Test, but maybe later.

Logic suggests a SA win. Steyn will be far too good for Engalnd's fragile batting, and the rest of SA's attack will be good enough to clear up the rest. Kallis is by far the best batsman on view, and England's attack just doesn't look up to it (even before this morning's debacle). That being said, SA do have a history of failing to win series over here that they should have cantered, so maybe...

Because I have a history of supporting SA TBH. Never been quite sure why, just like 'em. I wondered several times in the 2004/05 series which side I was supporting, and even now I'm still not really sure (hence probably never will be). Possibly have a similar situation here.
