Iv been really looking forward to this series, I reckon it is going to be a very tough and keenly fought contest.

SA only have 2 games under their belt coming into this, whilst England are coming in on the back of a good win over NZ. However SA are a much better and more rounded team than NZ.

Englands batsmen need to score runs, although they beat NZ it was never by a massive margin, if they are to win this series the middle order need to man up as well as the lower order trying to chip in with the odd 20 or 30 here and there.

If the weather holds up I reckon this could be a fast paced exciting test with England just coming through, however even though SA have played very little cricket (esp Smith and Ntini) they always get pumped up for this series.

Cant wait.
