SA peaked when they beat weak aussie team that got hammered in India. Now SA is in decline. I think the bowling of SA seems weak!.

Batting is ok. Kallis and duminy can bat all day for 20 runs.:p

I second that. England will beat SA as SA do not feel confident on their bowlers can take 20 wickets.

yeah i agree that victories in oz and rsa are a must and it will happen. the bowling lineup is fine with the exception of a real spinner. its not like the other teams can serve up greentops and expect india to fold over. there is every bit of chance it could bite back.

but the logic i was going by was that if england manage to beat both aust and saffers, and india has beaten eng home and way, logically india sits on the top. i mean whoever loses to england cannot seriously lay claim to being the best!

Whoa whoa whoa Sunny, like the Australians who never believed they were worthy until winning in India after dominating for a few years, your boys need to win in RSA and Oz before laying claims to any “real” No 1. The batting line up is one of the best ever, but the bowling, like the rest of the world, struggles to be any better than mediocre on unhelpful wickets

Sunny, for sure. That will mean South Africa have lost two series on the trot at home.

The bowling of both teams looks ridiculously ordinary. If England win the headline may tragically read – “Collingwood with the ball made the difference”. If the Saffers win it will because Prince bored the opposition/spectators/commentators/online community to death.

so if england beat the saffers, india will be deserving no. 1?

I don't think I can bear Ashes redux - if England win this test series, I think I will have to leave the country. .-= Dustbinner´s last blog ..On the fourth day of Christmas Ricky Ponting gave to me ... =-.
