If you still call that crap then you're even more of a clueless troll than you already are.

Ah back into moral victory territory.

You lost. Live with it.

So you can't even read simple English.

When did I say we didn't lose? I said we weren't crap on that tour. Only a clueless troll (which you're obviously since long) would say otherwise.

Looks like they don't teach English well enough in SA schools.

Like they don't teach maths in Indian schools. 1/14 isn't it?

If it looks like crap, smells like crap, there is a pretty good chance it is crap.

So you still haven't got a clue whats being written in very simple English.

Justifies your name then.

No you are trying to say it was a good tour because you only had one major collapse. I could say the same about the SA collapse but I don't deal in what ifs, only facts.

ANd an innings and 25 is cold fact.

I got it.

You're either illiterate or blind or even both.

Ah running out of ideas. No wonder your folks called you surrender,

Just on de Villiers, he has kept improving but a major factor seems to be him dropping down the order from being a regular opener.

Parnell has proven to be very effective, at least in the one day arena, when the ball swings. He took a lot of top order wickets the other day so must be closer to selection. Duminy made a double ton and took wickets too. Parnell adds more to the batting and fielding than Tsotsobe.

I suspect they'll go with Parnell for the next test. Even though his first class record is pretty poor. He hasn't even taken a 5fer in first class cricket yet.

It seems the Indian Press are getting their knickers in a twist because Kallis didn't applaud Tendulkar when he reached his century.

Well done, Seth Effrica. And, from what I read, Steyn -

I can't decide who I want to win this series. There are more Indian forummers than saffies on this board, so on the one hand it would be annoying having them harp on about being the test team in the world... On the other hand, does Taipan's quntishness outweigh all of that?

Difficult call.

I think I'll just say may the best team win.

What a thrashing.

Anyone would have thought India had lost one here.
