South Africa comprehensibly beat England by an innings to stake their claim for the no. 1 spot in the Test Rankings. South Africa need an innings win to become the no. 1 team in the world. So now England will need to fight back and win at least 1 of the remaining two matches without losing further. Dale Steyn was the hero of the South African bowling attack today with a five wicket haul that sealed the South African victory. Cheers! Ram

Really the game was so exciting and intresting and finally South africa is the team to win the series in a terrific form. South africa had put a great runs on their score card which put england in troubles. The england couldn't get up to the score which south africa had put up.

Not the series my dear friend. It is only the first match of the series. They still need to win one or draw both the remaining matches to end up as number 1 team. Cheers! Ram

When I finally checked the score, England were trailing by 75 runs with 5 wickets in hand. I didn't think that England would lose all the remaining wickets within 75 runs. I like SA team. So I am happy about the result.

A great performance by South African team. Dale Steyn is a dangerous bowler who can run through the opposition team. Yet, one cannot underestimate English team's ability to bounce back.

England played very poorly on a decent pitch. I think that their bowling attack lacked variation and would like to see Finn bought into the side for the next match.

I think in Amla and Kallis they have two batsmen who can bat in any situation. Again in Steyn and Morkel they have a formidable bowling attack. So I think this South African team is pretty formidable opponents. Cheers! Ram
