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.
