Im from NI but as our Cricket team are not able to play test matches I support England. My question is how do you guys think England will do in th up coming series against SA? I thought they would really struggle until the Ashes preformance which granted wasnt great and the ausies were crap but then I saw there ICC ODI performance against them and things were looking up.

As ever they could go over and play a blinder and win the series or they could go over and get beat 5-0 lol. I think broad bowling and strauss batting will be key. Also Swan will play a vital role as SA dont have a great spin bowler as far as i can see.

Even though Australia were able to beat SA in SA, i don't see England being able to. Their batsmen are much better than England's. The pace bowling seems even or maybe slightly in SA's favour. The only area where England seem superior is spin bowling. Paul Harris just looks rubbish.

It all depends on how our bowlers do, they where a bit hit and miss in the ashes. Brilliant in the 2 tests we won, and awful in the others. Personally I think it will be a tough ask, if we can get out of the series with a draw that would be an achievement, but I personally see a defeat being most likely. A win would require our batting order to pick up its consistency a bit.

Yeah its been the batting that has let us down in the summer. I dont like pointing the finger too much but Ravi seemed to really lose it for someone who has come across with so much confidence. That was one of his best features in my opinion. I think Broad when playing in england is better than stains but I know this will not be the view of most. I just think his height plays a big part. I see a draw being a very good result as well.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
