I'd say SA and England are one and two by quite a distance, but there is a gap between the Saffers and us. They're a stronger side in most departments other than wicketkeeping and spinning.

I'd say there are 2 differences.  They have an established top 6, we haven't had a ' full' batting line up for a couple of years now and we've really struggled to get it balanced right at 6.  They have probably the best all-rounder of all time, which gives them a great extra bowling option.

I agree, but they are better for that reason.

Quite right too.....not sure if i want to see us bat first or bowl....Anderson and Finn superb at moment. I know toss depends on conditions and of course calling correctly but am certainly looking forward to this.

Swann's injury is a worry, but Monty having his form back is good.

Swann out of series and could be a doubt of Ashes. Bad news.

Don't really care about him missing this series... they'll win easily anyway. Want him fit for The Ashes though. Hoping for 5-0 and grind their noses into the dirt.
