Can England white-wash SA?

Question

If we do, do you think we deserve to be 2nd ranked for ODI?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

I think england will be defeat to South Africa on 4-1

Answer 3

They are capable and i really think that they can.

Oooo, 2nd rank, isn't that being a little too optimistic?

Answer 4

it will be 4-1

Answer 5

I hope it will be done because it is good for cricket.

Answer 6

Looks almost certain.

If the rankings say so,why should there be any doubt.  

Answer 7

South Africa are not playing there best as they use to and with Smith gone they may end up 5-0 and England are playing well and so it may end as a whitewash or 4-1.

Answer 8

England is on a roll and Kevin Pietersen can do no wrong. Players like Flintoff, Harmison and Matthew Prior have come out of retirement very strong. New find Samit Patel is bowling like a dream. On the other hand, rebellion is growing in South Africa team due to the workload and it is this rebellion that led to the 83 run debacle. Greame Smith is suffering with either a tennis elbow or resentment against their cricket administration and is not likely to play further in the ODI series. Amla has to open now. South Africa has lost all direction and is leader-less and direction-less now. England will clinch a white wash for sure.

Let us see the possible teams.

England: Flintoff, Prior, Harmison, Samit Patel, Stuart Broad, Bresnan, Cook, Pietersen, Collingwood, Bell, Owais Shah.

South Africa: Amla, Boucher, Kallis, Morne Morkel, Andre Nel, Ntini, Steyn, Gibbs, Duminy, de Villiers, Philander.

Batting Strength: England - 100; South Africa - 74

Bowling Strength: England - 100; South Africa - 54

Fielding Strength: England - 100; South Africa - 74

Overall Strength: England - 100; South Africa - 91.

England will surely win the next match at Lord's on Sunday and may be the last match on Wednesday at Cardiff too. I predict a clean sweep. England deserves to be the second best ODI team now.

Answer 9

Yes we can win 5-0 and totally humiliate the Saffers however I don't think we actually deserve to move up to being ranked as the 2nd best ODI team in the world. Not that I'm complaining though lol :)

Answer 10

With Smith absent, it is a possibility. But it could 4-1.

Answer 11

I was hoping for a Banga whitwash but stupid minnows ~ Again spoilt the chances !!

Orale Vato !!

Hakuna Matata !!

Answer 12

Tomorrow might be washed out, as there's thunder storms predicted.

No, no we don't deserve to be second. On one series, we are not the second best team in the world. South Africa have looked tired, clearly the Test series win meant a lot more to them. I don't think South Africa will allow themselves to be white-washed.

Don't get me wrong, England are playing good cricket. It's nice to have three consistent games in a row. We're improving. But we're not the second best team in the world, yet!
