England vs South Africa - the build up continues!
I’ve put the build up continues, but the series build up has not actually created that much of a buzz. Despite mine (and from the comments on the previous post it looks like other’s) enthusiasm, there isn’t that much excitement coming from the press, TV or other areas about the first test on Thursday. I guess to a certain extent most of the stuff has actually been said already - we know the “KP” angle, England won’t be changing their side so we havn’t got that to debate either, and maybe that’s why it all seems quiet. I bet that come the end of the first test though we will have plenty to talk about, players to debate the position of and contentious decisions etc!
I was actually born in SA, so I hold a certain amount of affection for them normally, but I have always classed myself as English, and as such I want us to destroy them! Well, maybe not destroy - I’d just take a win to be honest, as its not going to be easy. It’s a shame most of us have to work when the test starts, I guess the BBC updates will have to suffice with a lot of F5 pressing during the day and highlights from Sky Sports in the evening!
Roll on Thursday!!

You are right about the lack of coverage in the press. Sky Sports are obviously promoting it but I haven’t seen it much elsewhere. I bet everyone will start coming out of the woodword when the Australians come to town next summer!
England to win it… we have the makings of a very fine young team and I’m glad we’ve kept the same team again
