Proteas vs England 1st Test Preview

The first test of the 3-match series between Proteas and England starts tomorrow. England will be the favourites to win with their new refreshed approach under McCullum and Stokes leadership. Proteas will be up for the challenge at the home of cricket.

England have announced their starting eleven today. They look set to continue with their winning combination from their previous four test wins.

Proteas will be happy that Rabada is fit and ready to go for the first test. This is a very important series for the Proteas as winning this series will help them most likely secure a spot in the final of the World Test Championship. Proteas have been doing very well in test cricket this year and are in good form in the longest format of the game.

The most interesting thing will be how the Proteas do against the dukes' ball compared to the kookaburra that they usually play with. Some Proteas players have been playing county cricket, which should have helped in getting used to playing against the duke's ball and adjusting to the conditions.

This is going to be a very exciting series as both teams are in good test form the only difference is Proteas played their last test 4 months ago and England 1 month ago. It's going to be interesting to see which team gets the upper hand in the first session tomorrow. Both teams are done with their preparation, now it's time for the action.

England have already announced their playing eleven, so I will only predict Proteas playing eleven

Proteas: 1: Dean Elgar, 2: Sarel Erwee, 3: Keegan Petersen, 4: Aiden Markram, 5: Ryan Rickelton, 6: Kyle Verreynne, 7: Simon Harmer, 8: Marco Jansen, 9: Kagiso Rabada, 10: Anrich Nortje, 11: Lungi Ngidi

Proteas vs India 2nd test Day 1 review

The second test match between Proteas and India kicked off on a high note with the hosts putting up a horrendous batting performance on day 1. The Proteas team won the toss and elected to bat first, but they failed to make the most of the opportunity as the Indian bowlers wreaked havoc on the home team's batting line-up bowling them out for 55. Mohammed Siraj was the chief destroyer with 6 wickets for 15 runs in 9 overs. He was equally supported by Mukesh and Bumrah both taking 2 wickets each. The Indian team lost their first wicket early on, with Jaiswal departing for a duck. The rest of the top-order batsmen struggled to get going as well, and the team was bowled out for 153. However, a brilliant counter-attacking innings from Markram helped the home team to 62-3 at stumps to steady the ship. It was an excellent day for bowlers on both sides as 23 wickets fell for 270 runs. The Proteas bowlers, led by Rabada and Lungi Ngidi, were impressive after t...

England crowned T20 world Champions for the 2nd time.

Congratulations to England on becoming T20 world champions for the second time. England has become only the second team to win the T20 world cup more than once after winning the 2022 T20 world cup. England is currently the best team in white ball cricket. The brand of cricket they play is just admirable. England's aggressive brand of cricket has made them one of the most dangerous teams in the world and they transition this bold brand into their test game. Going forward, they will be one of the most hazardous sides across all three formats. The final was mostly dominated by England as they won the toss and chose to bowl 1st. Pakistan had a decent start and looked good until the 11th over and then fell away as England's bowlers squeezed the run flow Pakistan's middle order was not up to the task as they could only manage to post 137-8 in their 20 overs. Overall Pakistan's batting was poor today as they struggled to get away from the England bowlers. The turning point i...
