03 September 2008: England v South Africa 5th ODI @ Cardiff

England will be looking to whitewash SA 5-0 in ODI series today. SA have n’t really played like a team in the absence of Graeme Smith. Kallis is out of form and can’t seem to inspire the team. Kallis is a bit Inzi-ish when it comes to leadership. I think Mark Boucher should be the vice captain of South Africa.

What’s more Pietersen’s men will climb to no.2 in the ICC rankings if they win today.

Cricinfo - Whitewash looms as England target second spot

Forecast is for rain](http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=1424) today so it might be another shortened game

England (probable) 1 Ian Bell, 2 Matt Prior (wk), 3 Owais Shah, 4 Kevin Pietersen (capt), 5 Andrew Flintoff, 6 Paul Collingwood, 7 Samit Patel, 8 Luke Wright, 9 Stuart Broad, 10 James Anderson, 11 Steve Harmison.

South Africa (possible) 1 Herschelle Gibbs, 2 Hashim Amla, 3 Jacques Kallis (capt), 4 AB de Villiers, 5 Jean-Paul Duminy, 6 Mark Boucher (wk), 7 Vernon Philander, 8 Johan Botha, 9 Morne Morkel, 10 Dale Steyn, 11 Andre Nel.

Sorry I did not realise there's already a thread opened by Gesto. Mods please merge...

that is unbelievable
if this isnt the usual surge in Englands performance that we see once in a while, then we might have a fantastic ashes series to look forward to.

Re: England Vs South Africa ,Fifth One Dayer,D/N

South Africa 6/1 (3.0/43 ov)

If no match occurs due to rain, this could be a white-wash literally :hehe:

Re: England Vs South Africa ,Fifth One Dayer,D/N
