Final Test - part 1

England vs South Africa 4th Test
Hello and welcome to an intro on the England vs South Africa Test match, the 4th in the series. England have a new skipper in the form of Kevin Pietersen and Bopra replaces the former skipper Vaughan in the batting line up. Steyn will miss the Test due to a broken thumb, an injury he had sustained during the second Test.

Strauss believes making Pietersen the captain is a brave decision, since he was also in contention for the post. How brave he is will be visible when England face off on 7th of August.

The question to be asked is can England win the Test for some pride? or will South Africa look for their 3rd win in the series? For the all the answers stay tuned to my blog......more to come.

India vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test
The series is alive after India won the 2nd Test at Galle, it was a great comeback after losing the first Test.
The final Test is on the 8th of August. India will surely be buoyed by the win and they will like to stamp their authority by winning the match and Sri Lanka will be hurt and they would be roaring to win. All in all a fitting climax in store for everyone. More to come.......

News just filtering in Gary Kirsten is unavailable for the final test as he has gone to be with his ailing mother.
