how the predictions fared?

Adotvilla - 2-1 to England.
junction 8 - draw
Viru - 1-0 to SA
Sprinkler - England win( "im in no doubt")
Kash - 1-0 to england
just true (dont know where he went) -
maksi - England will whitewash SA and will remain no.1 for 5 years. ( dont know why he wants England to remain no.1 for 5 years only. no less and no more?
Hafza - said the team takes advantage of the weather better would win

the actual result is 2-0 to SA just for people that didnt follow this 2 teams.

I had fun watching these 2 play. Have never followed test cricket as keenly as I have if India are not playing. But I did in this series.
SA played quality cricket and I dont see them having any weaknesses. not even in the subcontinent.
if this team went india now i am sure they would win the series there. just need to work on tahir become a more threatening spinner

======================

michael vaughan said that too, but they havent got any spin bowlers have they ?

slight problem in india i'd have thought.

I think last time they came steyn was gd enough to take most indian wickets. and that time India had inform harbhajan singh, inform VVS and dravid. And still we managed a draw. Now I highly doubt whether we can win against SA at home or away.

yeah fair enough viru, but beating what you might call a relatively week india side doesnt necessarily means that a team is good at playing in sub continent conditions. to be called a team who is good in all conditions you need spin bowlers.


imo

Last 2 times SA toured India they drew 1-1, I think SA went 1-0 in both those series as well.

"The funny thing is with a little more luck we were not far off winning this series 3:0, as predicted."

Firstly, you're seriously deluded if you think luck decided this series and secondly, England had the lion's share of the luck.
