England in<br />
SOUTH AFRICA...<br />
I will not lie, I thought they would seriously<br />
struggle against a team who boast two of<br />
the best bowlers in the World and two of<br />
the best batsmen to have played the game<br />
in the past decade.<br />
It is safe to say that England’s<br />
cricketers have well and truly<br />
proven me wrong when it<br />
comes to me criticising the<br />
team selection and the lack<br />
of Ian Bell for the series in<br />
South Africa.<br />
That England have gone on to win the<br />
series 2-1 (at the time of writing England<br />
are 2-0 up but need one hell of a batting<br />
performance to save the 4th and final Test)<br />
shows just how far this side has come and<br />
looks like it will go.<br />
England started the 1st Test without their<br />
senior strike bowler (and the country’s<br />
all time highest wicket taker) James<br />
Anderson in Durban.<br />
This looked from the outside as if it could<br />
potentially cause an issue. Steven Finn,<br />
Moeen Ali and Stuart Broad however<br />
stepped up to the plate and helped<br />
England to win the 1st Test.<br />
