So, whose Saffers will be better? wink

Couple of good knocks for the English boys so far (home advantage?), roll on the first T20 on Friday.

Yep, here we go again. Not really interested in the T20 but this is going to be one tough tour.

89 all out...

Think Beefy got it right when he said they should leave T20's to domestic/county levels.

Unfortunately I think the T20 format is here to stay, especially when the need for a fast action packed game is needed, worldwide numbers attending test matches is dwindling and the ICC needs the money spinner that is T20.
as for this tour I think both teams are facing a tough one, would be a lot happier if England sorry the refugees smile had arrived on the back of an Ashes loss ... thanks Aussies

Not convinced - I prefer it at club level - it's quite fun watching international team-mates playing against each other, and I think the international fixture season is too congested at present.

Refugees not doing to bad at the moment, rattling along.

Lovely to see Cook score more than he faced and out early - not a T20 player I think.

Colly looking good - which part of South Africa is he from ?

Oh God, dont get the Welsh started!

Must admit though, there is a semblence of a point, but with some you havent mentioned. Im uncomfortable with the Irish connection, in that as far as I can see we have blatenly pilfered their best players from what was turning out to be a half decent Irish unit. Now, how can a smaller outfit even look to improve and get better if their best players are nicked by the big boys? That doesnt sit too well with me.
