If I had a tenner, I'd stick it on Amla to score his 4th consecutive Test ton vs India

Bet you wish you had that tenner now!

Amla really has had a good year hasnt he. Looks so comfortable at the crease

[Jeet]

Bet you wish you had that tenner now!

i think I'll stick 20 on him to make it 5 consecutive tons at Durban, especially as it's his home ground.

Stat of the day (thanks to Cricinfo): "In 2010 Kallis and Amla have so far scored 948 runs in partnerships with each other in only 8 innings at an average of 158."

Second stat of the day: This year Amla averages about 610 against india.

This thread has been an interesting read. India, as expected, hopeless away from home. India should get some young blood in there. Transition period?

Dont agree with the comment regarding England. We have the best test team in the world straight up. One mitchell johnson spell wont go cover up almost 8 days of being outplayed prior to that.

The match proves one thing kallis is pure class and one of the greatest all rounders ever

If England were the best team in the world, we would be number one in the standings. We aren't though are we?

If we make a huge comeback tomorrow then we (eng) will be in with a shout of eventually becoming the best team in the world, be we aren't there yet - the Saffa team is better than ours at the moment and has performed consistently well home and away for a while now. This Ashes tour and against India in the summer will show if we are close to being number two or not.

Watching this game today though - yesterday the pitch looked damp and gree and today it looked like a batting paradise. Some of the Indian bowling was very very poor. Kallis and Amla's hundreds were totally enevitable.

If you go by the rankings and statistics, then Flintoff was just another average cricketer. Dont fool yourself into thinking rankings and stats mean anything.

Flintoff was just a good cricketer who had a couple of great series. Overated in my opinion. Stats don't lie.

Flintoff stats might not be the best. . .but for me he turned it on when it mattered.

[golders]

he did it in 2 ashes series aand one against south africa, from what I remember. his batting was so frustrating!

[johnnyw]

He is a slightly better version of afridi in my opinion

[procricket]

Flintoff was a presence but never relay found the true class he had..

He was good but could have been consistent and better

Injury's took there toll listen Bumble will tell you how good he was

Even as a junior that was Flintoff batting wise he would smash a rapid 20 ball 50 then get out with only 70 needed from 30 overs.

He was a breed to himself a real cricketer who just loved to play

[100 not out]

anyway, whats freddie gotta do with india and south africa
