Bale,need not to change anything for england, because they are up for good thrashing in any case.

Too early to say Bale. What I would say is they look a better squad and team together. The KP dabacle hasn't helped us but we massively need him back.

I thino the Saffers will win this series.

All credit to them so far.

SA have been brilliant. I think more than anything, Gary Kirsten deserves the credit. I really thought SA will mess up the last test and choke to give England a draw, but kirsten has really shown SA the way.

Coaches are as important to a teams success as the players. And Kirsten has done it. I wish he was the Indian coach for the next 5 years. Maybe the results would have been different. to me He is the reoson for SA's success.

I agree that South Africa will probably win the series. However, I think it's a bit silly to say England need to drastically change things. For me, the only change which is definitely required is Prior for Kieswetter.

Agreed. Wouldn't bring Prior back. Had too many chances. I don't get the fascibation with Bresnan, Kieswetter or Patel.

I would play Bairstow or Buttler with the glives. Woakes instead of Bresnan and if we played the second spinner, Danny Briggs.

But, whether they played or not, Saffers are the better team but were not way behind. Unbeaten till today this year, so much be doing something right

SA will always find English conditions easier. they play in more bouncy pitches + they have enough experiance in Swing and seaming pitches.
Well for England you cant do much. They have lost their first match in ODI's after long time

Here is a comment on cricinfo Posted by the_blue_android on (August 28 2012, 19:39 PM GMT) . I loved it.

This is so embarassing for the po-ms...at least india lost on foreign soil...the po-ms are getting thrashed in their own backyard! I think Po-ms 'era' of 9 months is over and they are back to best at what they are..which is being mediocre...get ready for another decade ( or three) of torture fellas!

Jes Toofan you really hate the English don't you chief. When I think about it, I can only presume that you have suffered something really tragic at the hands of an Englishman. I feel sorry for you - Even the other Indian fans stopped posting by now...

And buddy, you are still trolling along. tch tch tch. feeling hurt? go home kid its way too late for you to using internet. Po-ms will give you many sleepless nights in coming matches

Neon truthfully cannot remember. But I remember it happening on the old 606.

Regarding toofans comment
Trust me son not trolling along or hurt.

Cricket means a lot to me but I was more upset when Yorkshire lost in the T20 on Saturday.

I am 30 now - Sport doesn't control my world. My little girl does.

Yorkie I didn't know I was dealing with a grandpa ( a little exaggaration here though),
Happy for your girl. Just take care you dont carry this cricket thing to your home.

Haha. Bit early to be a Grandpa mate. Only just turned 30. Cricket is in our home, I managed to get my Mrs into it... Completely love the game.

Off to sleep as she will wake up soon. Haha.

Good night all!

PS: ENGERRRLANDDDD

Neon as a Leeds and York fan - Both went into financial meltdown and were relegated in the same year, I can hardly talk.

At least your chairman spends money. Wevsell all our players to Norwich and invest it in Uncle Kens court cases.

No team in any sport, so you could use the statement "they have been taught a lesson" to every losing team.

Also, big changes brought us to where we are, from a poor team to a recently top team. Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater and redesign what has been a good system for us in the last few year.

English being taught...

another cricket lesson by the South Africans. It's a little embarrassing to watch the world number 1 team perform so dreadfully these last few weeks.

.................

It happens.It is what makes sport interesting to watch.

How boring would it be if the best team won all the time?

I see our batting line up has arrived at shoddy central

Cooks just got off

mind the gap - mind the gap....
