Personally I don't think he has the technique to survive in England.

If the weather is good and the pitches are flat, then I think Amla will do well. Surely England is due for a stretch of sunshine lasting longer than 2 weeks?

As soon as it starts swinging that peculiar backlift of his will get him in trouble.

Yes Amla's technique is peculiar.

I think Vaughan will have a decent series - prefers the pace on the ball rather than dobbers swinging it.

Sidders is either going to befuddle the Saffers with his swing or is going to have a Harmison 2004-5 like series. No middle ground....

The bowlers will make more runs than the front line batsmen in this series.

Not sure about that. Both teams have long tails.

Sidebottom and Broad are handy with the bat.

by taipan Tue 08 Jul 2008, 12:03

Still tailenders though
