Maybe Hashim Amla should try his luck in the $180m Euro lottery… At least if he wins something he will be able to bribe the Indians to give him a chance to get the ball off the square.
Ok maybe that’s a bit harsh but Jacques Kallis seems to be chugging along notching up another 100 [...]

For those who missed the incident Smith appeared to nick the ball – I would have given him out just for such a kak shot – but he didn’t walk. The umpire gave him not out and [...]

Graham Onions is probably the most hated man in South African cricket right now as he once again frustrated the home team and made sure that England for the second time in three test matches hung on for an improbable draw.
There have been some incredibly exciting moments in this test series and to have had [...]

One of my mates has just SMS’d me after watching the highlights of the Australian cricket game this morning.
The SMS reads:

So South Africa and England have squared up against one another in two test matches:
Result one was a hard-fought draw with the poms hanging on for dear life.
Result two – the English steam-roller the home team at Kingsmead
Before the first test match started, I had concerns that the South African attack was lacking [...]
