    South Africa vs South Africa
    Haha sorry about the title - I couldn't resist!

    So...what are our predictions for the England vs SA series.

    I think its fair to say that the result of this series really does decide who is the undisputed number 1 test side going round at the moment.

    Eng went to SA in 2009-10 and the result was 1-1. If England win at home then I think its fair to say that they're the better team. If SA win away from home that's an equally top-spot-worthy achievement. A draw leaves Eng on top but I don't think it necessarily makes the 'undisputed' best team.

    Im predicting a 1-1 draw.

    For all the silly subcontinental supporters who will say that losing 3-0 to Pakistan means England can never be the best...well remember they have won their last 7 series at home and beaten Australia away from 3-1 and that SA: Couldnt beat Aus at home or away. Couldn't beat Eng at home. Couldn't beat Ind at home (Eng beat then 4-0). So its not clear at all. I think this series really does decide who is the better team.
