South Africa v England - Test Cricket Series

[StefanWolves]

We beat Australia? we have won 2 of the 3 past ashes, we have beaten SA 2 times in the past decade (3 if we hang on in this test), we got the final of the CT cup when it was held in England. We were in 2005 regarded as the best cricketing team on the earth, from 2002-2005 we went on an 6-8 (can't remember) game test series unbeaten run, where we hardly lost a test.

People knock us because were not good in ODIs (which we are improving on, we beat SA for gods sake), but people don't look at the bigger picture, we are a top notch test side, one of the best at this moment in time (yes, I can say that, because we beat Australia, and we are beating SA, two of the top three best Test cricketing sides in the world).

Seems like the only way you can win the series and not the fair way.

But if the shoe was on the other foot...

It's cricket. You know it. I know it. It's just that you cannot accept that fact. Quite sad actually.

Saurav, have you forgotten that we beat SA by an INNINGS?

Yeah and SA nearly beat you twice. Rain delayed one of those two matches. They are about to trash you here by AN INNINGS too, but unfortunately rain came along.

I am saying the series should be a draw.

England is already 6/1 ... my point proven.

You won one, yes and you did amazingly well in that. But you have struggled in 3 others.

i'm getting good at these rain dances.



and yeah, it's the rules, get over it.

Its the rules that the umpires decision is final.
Tendulkar was given out unfairly several times in 2008 on 99. Don't see him complaining.

my point exactly? rules are rules. if the umpire calls the game off for rain, it's final.
