Joe Root 22 runs away from becoming Eng's highest int run-scorer in a calendar year http://bit.ly/1YBnPeR . Max three more inns to get 'em England played a lot of cricket in 2007, collingwood just the 52 matches! I think this was the official reason for moving the ashes away from World Cup years, obviously nothing to do with having ashes 2 years apart in this country making craploads of money! |

South Africa not looking to hot in India
An ageing squad as well very much so and this series will be a lot closer than many expect.
England continuing to progress in all formats looks a very solid behind the scenes set up at the moment which helps.
the pitches in india have been ragging square. ishant sharma bowled a slower ball this morning that turned 4 feet i do think it will be a close series on quick pitches in SA. hopefully steyn is fit meanwhile, from yesterday, a really fun picture  they had to go to the third umpire to tell which batsman was out groundhog day  |

Yes, very good article. Still leaving Root out of the top 10 is ridiculous.

Someone obviously got the boot out of the list on Sunday morning after the boxing - maybe the BBC took the view to try and concentrate on giving visibility to lower-profile sports rather than cricket.
Team sport is also a factor - Kevin Sinfield is the only one on the list that plays a proper team sport. Though cricket tends to do the best out of the team sports as individual performance can be so easily measured.

Lol Joe Root was at one point the number 1 ranked player in the world, and has been top 2 or 3 pretty much all of the year. And plays the game in a fantastic manner. A true roll model with a good personality (look at the Bob Willis impersonation).
And he plays one of the countries most followed sports. But naaaaaaaaaah he doesn't qualify for this joke of a competition.
Nearly as big of a joke as Rory not winning next year.

Just arrived in Durban, very overcast and the weather has been all over the place recently. Forecast poor for tomorrow would be tempted to bowl tomorrow if there is play.
Very much looking forward to the series, going to Cape Town for New Years test as well. Subtle I know......

Enjoy it.
When I was there Boxing Day a few years back it was the worst day of cricket I ever went to. The hottest I have ever sat and watched cricket in, 40+ degrees and humid as fk and we didn't have shade, the biggest queue was to stand under a hose pipe of cold water for a few secs. And to top that off Nasser bored the shit out of us in the process of England scoring about 160 runs in an entire day I think. My missus dragged me away before tea time, she'd had enough....

Got a horribly bad feeling about this test.
If we bat first I think we are in large amounts of trouble

(Thin brag incoming) Raining here at the moment (just up the road) but forecast to clear up in time for the start going by Accuweather. |

Currently very overcast and muggy, no rain though it did rain overnight. Still predicted to be wet this morning, getting drier as day goes on.
