I'll wait for your post

But look earlier - I've wondered why you haven't repeated your Smith a journeyman, captain short term; when we whitewash Windies we'll hold onto number 1 for yonks. Don't be a BE coward who refuses to admit he/she might be wrong at times. ;)

I knew you could do it - well done. And no, I won't be one of those people


Journeyman Smith continues to hit a bit of form - well done to him. I thought his captaincy was timid. It was his 1st test though so maybe a bit understandable. Hopefully it won't continue

As for WI, do you actually follow what goes on it a test match rather than just making it up? If you did you'd know that there were 2 days lost to rain in the 2nd test. Hard to get a result with that

SA's bowlers were awesome yesterday evening. Harmer has massive potential

Factor the possibility of weather and things not going as you expect before making bold assertions my friend. ;)

Sorry champ, I can't predict the weather - I'm not an Aussie cricket fan :lol:

A great win in Cape Town yesterday. Means we take the series 2 zip and stay No.1 at the April 1 turnaround (2nd year in a row)

This year will be interesting when it comes to test rankings. We don't play test cricket again until late July (2 test series in Bang.) and then a 4 tester against England at home. Australia on the other hand have a short series in WI and then the Ashes. I expect them to win both so they may get the No.1 spot by the end of the winter, only for SA to take it back over the summer

Yeah. He's another grade A prick :). But that seems to be a winning formula for most teams.

I think Kohli will go a long way as a batsmen and captain. He's got a real fighting spirit.

India have some really good young players. With a bit of experience and a few years they should have a pretty good team.
