Starts tomorrow, both teams could be very, very interesting.
England seem to be unsure about the balance of the team- 6 Batsmen with Bell, 5 bowlers with Sidebottom or Plunkett or hedging their bets with Wright. I expect Wright to get the nod, although I'd probably go with Plunkett myself (what do I know though eh DMR)
Seth Ethrika seem to have Kallis back able to bowl, which helps their balance. Steyn seems to be fit, so he'll be back in, seemingly for Friedel de Wet despite his brilliant performance in the first test, with Ntini keeping his place- you gotta wonder if that decision has been made for the right reasons.
Could be a very interesting one, certainly on a pitch which offers the occasional hour or so of excitement every now and then. Thoughts?

I bet we'll be shitting ourselves about the ball doing a bit and thus name an unchanged side.
As usual the Saffas have let us off the hook with De Wet, as I've said before I think Steyn isn't as great as made out and was bowling gash in the ODIs.

10-2 Morning Everyone. Smith and Kallis at the wicket, another wicket would be tremendous.

England batting now, on 54 without loss of which Strauss has 46 and Cook 7.
Spot the one in form.

Great batting..ive started to enjoy English cricket again..Strauss is getting better as a captain and his batting is entertaining...i predict Cook will get a century.
