England Vs South Africa.1st Test 17 december.

[vosser]

Todays reports show only Nic Boje who has been ruled out, all the others are fit and stomachs settled. Kallis will bowl in the second innings only, if at all.

Andrew Hall thinks England are under prepared for tomorrows 1st Test, not having played since August, and thinks it will be a great advantage to the South Africans, wonder if he is right?.

As for all these bugs the SA players have been infected with, I would not care to be an England batsman with close in fielders, so it gives them an insentive to go on the attack.

Anyone think Andrew Hall has abit of a dodgy bowling action? Not that I guess it would matter nowadays with the new flex limits.

We gotta win, I couldn't bare to see us lose against Graeme Smith, ****ing arrogant ****. Still abit worried though, everyone seems too confident that we're going to pretty much walk the series.

Cant be complacent Beny, after the other day, England seemed a bit rusty, according to the report, we will see, i am confident.

Hmm the Australia card looked a bit English today, that match is just as interesting

[Beny]
