Unofficial test championship starts tomorrow

[mapoui]

Shillingford staking his claim for Narine's spot in the test match? He's doing well with the bat so far.

yu wake up on the right side di mawnin

or did yu do today what Armik does every day..forget to take his meds

[mapoui]

all the same Laras record in jeproady here...england looks like deh ready to give it to Amla!

[Arnik]

Fear Steyn yes but Philander?

Having watched Philander bowl he is decent but his figures to date flatter him and I expect his numbers to go down.

He has 52 wickets at an average of 15.40 and I cannot see that average staying where it is.

if the conditions favour Philander he will run through england as he has all he has played against.

let it get a lil wet and greenish and watch. he wil clean dem up

[Arnik]

If this, if that.

If conditions are "wet and greenish" then Philander, Steyn, Anderson, Broad, Bresnan will all have good numbers.

Philander's test bowling average is NOT going to stay at 15.40.

[Arnik]

Game on as SA have declared.

[Arnik]

Philander's first 4 test matches were at home in South Africa.

Then his next three were against New Zealand in New Zealand and he had an excellent series getting 21 wickets at 15.48.

I expect the WI bowlers to have plenty of success against this New Zealand side - ha ha ha ha.

Having said that Philander strikes as he gets Cook for a duck.

[Arnik]

Kallis misses KP. Should have held that even though it was not easy.
