GOOD GOING, LADS

THAT’S a terrific 3-1 victory for England because South Africa are such a tough nut to crack. They are ranked second in the world and are good travellers and England came through because their big shots performed. The two remaining pieces of the jigsaw leave them needing to bed in a couple of batsmen before the Ashes. Opportunities are there and it needs somebody to say: ‘I’ll have it.’
