Third Test - Cape Town

[Pie-chucker]

Smith mentions in the Telegraph 'Plan C' to stop Strauss. Coded message for (Charl) Langeveldt coming in to replace Steyn. Dippenaar back in after infected knee, Pollock fit so it's just down to Amla or Hall, which is likely to be a racial selection. Therefore Amla. England unchanged, I presume. But I do foresee some 'rotation' for 4th or perhaps 5th Test, particularly if England win in Cape Town. I think Reid will get a game behind the stumps. And Key will get a go. Maybe Anderson. Last test, as posted, I partially closed my position on England series aggregate 1st innings advantage. Thinking to get back in later. Cantor yesterday were quoting -10 to 30 England overall, but now go 10 to 50. This is a buying opportunity. If Vaughan -- big if -- can win a toss for once, have a look at spread runs first innings. The 'buy' quote will probably be around 465. England could well bat for 2 days and a bit and make 700. As usual match bet doesn't seem to offer value. Suggest just get into a ton of England runs, anyway you can. :tongue2

:rollin :rollin Sorry, I just can't help it, such optimism. Buying at over 450 is surely a way to the poorhouse? :\
