Re: Cricket: Australia vs South Africa Test Series I'll go with a couple of series outrights. 2pts SA to win Test Series 11/4 Betfred South Africa could be arriving in Australia at just the right time. Australia are clearly not the side they were this time last year while you could argue with merit that South Africa have been the best test side around in 2008. There used to be a day where South Africa were poor travellers but that day has long sinced passed although they still have to prove they can cut the intensity of playing the Aussies as their record against them is poor to say the least. However this Aussie side is getting no younger and with a pace attack to fear now, South Africa could well steal the show in this series. 3pts D.Steyn Top SA Series Wicket Taker 13/8 Stan James Dale Steyn has been South Africa's best bowler all year and he could really cause havoc on the pacy and bouncy wickets in Australia. He could be really dangerous in Perth and with South Africa not having a quality spinner he could be the most dangerous SA bowler in Melbourne and Sydney too. He's added accuracy to his raw pace and if he can get the Kookaburra swinging he will be really tough to face and in what is likely to be a 3 runner race, Steyn is my pick.
