Proteas vs England 3rd test preview

The last test of the 3-match series between the Proteas and England starts tomorrow. The series is squared at 1-1 and sets this match up nicely as a result for either team would mean a series win and in the bigger picture a boost in the world test championship standings.

Rassie Van der Dussan and Jonny Bairstow have been ruled out of this test and world T20, both are crucial to their respective teams, and this will be a massive setback for Proteas and England as both are mainstays across the three formats of the game. The replacements for both players are just as suitable so hopefully, their absence won't be felt.

England have brought Harry Brook into the side for the final test in Bairstow's place as the only change from the previous test. England will want to continue from where they left off in the last test. They will hope their top order will contribute to putting runs on the board as they have struggled, especially the two openers who have struggled throughout the summer.

Proteas captain has confirmed that Ryan Rickelton will play tomorrow as he will replace Van der Dussan and the rest of the team is yet to be confirmed. I do see Proteas making two more changes in Jansen coming in place of Harmer and Mulder/Zondo in place of Markram. Proteas could be tempted to place an extra all-rounder in place of one of their bowlers due to their weak batting lineup and that is something that needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

I wish both teams the best of luck and hope to see so good cricket played and the best team over the next 5 days win.

With the final set to happen in England at the Southampton cricket ground both teams are planning r they will make their way to England considering the testing times we in. Both teams will have to go into a quarantine of 10 to 14 days after reaching England before they can start practicing. New Zealand will be going to England before the end of this month as they have a test series against the English starting on the second of June. India, on the other hand, will only reach England on the 2nd of June in order this giving them enough time to carry out their quarantine and also gives them about 6 days of practice ahead of the WTC final. Everyone is saying New Zealand will have an advantage going into the WTC final cause their players will have had some game time where Indian players would only have net practice and inter-squ...

There have been some great performances through the season with both divisions going into the last round with 3 teams still having a chance to win the tournament.
