Don't worry Brendan. England have, for years, sporadically imitated competence, even excellence, at one day cricket, only to lose momentum. Even this summer's 3-1 defeat to NZ was commenced with a commanding 100+ run win, switch-hitting sixes and all.


Like my Scottish granny used to say about good weather - it's nice out the now, but we'll pay for it later.

Well that was quick. Not often you can say that Andre Nel top scored with 13.


Right, now all the boys have to do is come out and bowl England out for less than 83 and they?ll be drinking snakebite in the nearest Walkabout before you can say, ?drunk aussie girls.?

I really don?t know what to think about this. Should I be impressed with England? Should I be astounded at South Africa?s terrible performance in the form of the game that they normally excel at? Should I put South Africa?s poor performance down to the quota system forcing white players out of the team? Should I just put it all down to Kevin Pietersen?s charmed captaincy? Is it beginner?s luck or is the guy actually this good?


I don?t care what is going on in the South African camp you don?t win a test series as impressively as they did and then come out and lose this badly and repetitively.

At the end of the day, they won the series that really mattered. Remember England were destroyed in Australia in the last ashes, and then went on to win the one dayers. The hard wrk had all ready been done by the Ausies.


That said, it is nice to see England looking good, and I hope they can take it in to their test form!

    • So I've done a little more research into the current use of the word, I hadn't realised it had latterly been used to describe anti Muslim feelings. Still don't like the use of the word. These are horrible times and am fearful for the future.
    • Oh I didn't realised Starmer had used the word. I don't mean they are stirring up division between themselves (ie between Reform and Greens), I mean they are stoking division within communities, and stirring up racial prejudice and religious discrimination. That is sectarianism, in my view. 
    • Just to repeat the news I was given – it's not being converted into a pub. As far as I know, there's no intention of dumbing down their restaurant offering.  Although as others have pointed out, Camberwell has two pubs – The Camberwell Arms and now the Michelin-starred Kerfield Arms – with excellent food. The Palmerston used to be the only pub in ED that was of such quality, but sadly no longer IMHO. 
    • The country is in a real state.  What worries me about the Greens is encouraging migration and openly offering benefits to all with visas.  Where is the money for that coming from?  As if there is spare money, as if there is growth. Where I their holistic manifesto, ensuring funds are available and this is sustainable, and regulated? Incredibly dangerous and idealistic
