With the lack of KP, plus the chaos that seems to be happening behind the scenes, I can see there being only 1 result!! So well done SA!

Saw a bit of sky sports news this morning and the eggs and bacon'ers are mad! one guy had been queing since 2:45am to get a seat in the lower tier.

I wonder how the outfield will play considering the Archery was there.

Im looking forward to this "as strong and more united " England team taking on the Saffas.

I have a feeling this Test match will be spoken about for years to come for all the wrong reasons.

BREAKING NEWS

Andrew Struass and Andy Flower have been home and told their Mum's on KP for calling them names.

It is rumoured that AS and AF won't be going to KP's birthday party this year!

the outfield is a bit patched up, but will be ok, and totally re done over the winter.

this is also Stuart broard's 50 test match.

my prediction is for an SA match and series win by the close on sunday.

England's only hope is something heroic from cook and bell. not impossible, but not realistic.

I think England will win. A happy side is better than a talented side, I know from experience.

I totally admire your optimism!
I just think that we would have to be on absolute top form to stand a chance against an excellent SA side!
And I really don't think that the players' heads are in the right place at the moment! I hope I am proved wrong and you are proved right, but I fear it may be a bit of a drumming!  :(
