Great photo of Michael Slater during the Australia-Pakistan test: He was wearing it in aid of the McGrath Foundation, set up by Glenn McGrath's wife Jane.

I absolutely agree. We've one of the strongest 7,8 & 9 in world cricket so the tail can wag. That's for sure.

Swann and Onions have to survive for 2 more overs to salvage the draw...

SA appeal for a catch off the penultimate ball. Not out but it's being reviewed!

England get the draw! Onions survives the final over for the second time in three tests! England are 1-0 with one to play!

Back to this thread. 4th test starts today at the Wanderers, Johannesburg. England won the toss and got turfed out for 180. South Africa are 16-0 and have just resumed after a rain break.

A disappointing end to the series as England slump to an innings defeat to level the series at 1-1. England weren't helped by some dodgy umpiring decisions but SA dominated the test.
In reality, England should be pleased to have tied the series because South Africa could easily have won it 3-1...
Next, England go to Dubai for two T20 games against Pakistan, then go to Bangladesh for three ODIs and two tests.
May sees the World Twenty20 in the West Indies, before Bangladesh come over for two more tests.
Australia are in England in the summer for a test series against Pakistan and will play five ODIs against England. England also have a ODI series against Bangladesh before a test and ODI series against Pakistan to finish the summer.
Feb 19: 1st T20 v Pakistan (Dubai) Feb 20: 2nd T20 v Pakistan (Dubai)
Feb 28: 1st ODI v Bangladesh (Dhaka) Mar 2: 2nd ODI v Bangladesh (Dhaka) Mar 5: 3rd ODI v Bangladesh (Chittagong) Mar 12-16: 1st test v Bangladesh (Chittagong) Mar 20-24: 2nd test v Bangladesh (Dhaka)
Apr 30-May 16: World Twenty20 (West Indies) England in group with West Indies and one qualifier. Qualifying tournament takes place next month and 2 will qualify from: Ireland, Scotland, Afghanistan, USA, Holland, Kenya, Canada, UAE
