• Injury-hit tourists struggle to a morale-boosting victory • 'I was disappointed not to make three figures' says Trott South Africa did their best to make England feel at home here yesterday. Potchefstroom, cold and almost deserted, might have been Leicester in April. England, though, failed to respond to this show of hospitality.

Last time we got at as far as Kevin Pietersen, which is more than the South African selectors ever did. Today we continue with… Liam Plunkett (Durham) I am delighted to learn that Plunkett is still alive. I thought he had been lost when Flintoff’s pedalo went down with all hands a few years back. No idea [...]

For a team who have just won the Ashes England have made some bold moves for their four-Test tour to South Africa. With Andrew Flintoff in retirement from Test cricket and Steve Harmison omitted because of his lacklustre displays over the last three years, Liam Plunkett returns to the Test squad for the first time since 2007 to bolster the bowling while the uncapped all-rounder Luke Wright is included...

You gotta feel for Binger. For years, he played bridesmaid to Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne, unable to force his way into the side. When the two ageing champions finally retired, Bing assumed his position as Australian spearhead.

With Shane Watson already moved into the opener spot (a choice I'm still not convinced of), who would come in for Clarke? Ronnie McDonald? Don't make...
