Hashim Amla may lead South Africa one day

In the England v South Africa series we hope there will be no repeat of the Dean Jones commentary moment when he called Hashim Amla "the terrorist". Indeed, it will be poignant watching the South African tonk it around the park. As millions cowered under apartheid, a Muslim representing South Africa would have been fantastical. Now, some say this builder of handsome hundreds could eventually captain his country, despite covering the logo for Castle Lager on his shirt: truly, South Africa is the rainbow nation.

Amla passes fifty as South Africa near parity

Hashim Amla stroked his ninth Test fifty as South Africa reduced the deficit to just 12, on a shortened third day at The Oval. James Anderson and Steve Harmison were both guilty of bowling a little too wide, and runs flowed accordingly to leave the match fascinatingly poised as South Africa whittled away at the deficit. However, rain cut short the day just before lunch and play was abandoned at 4.55pm.

LONDON (AFP) - Hashim Amla's fine start to South Africa's tour of England continued with another big century on Friday while Ashwell Prince also weighed in with a hundred on the first day against Middlesex at Uxbridge.

England strike but Amla remains firm

Hashim Amla's fifth Test hundred guided South Africa safely to a draw on the fifth and final day at Lord's. Two days ago, it seemed unlikely the visitors scrap it out into the fifth, yet it was England - the team who so dominated the first three days - who trudged off wearily 75 minutes after tea. South Africa may not have won, but they will take heart from their characteristically dogged performance with the second Test only four days away.

Whitewash looms as England target second spot

Are England really the second-best one-day team in the world? It's a preposterous notion, and yet, by the time Kevin Pietersen's men go to bed in the early hours of Thursday morning, it could well be an officially-recognised fact. Having begun the series in sixth place in the ICC rankings, England have already climbed to No. 3, and one more win will enable them to displace South Africa at No. 2 - and their unbridled dominance in the first four matches of the NatWest Series means that that prospect is very much on the cards. South Africa's ageing one-day outfit has been no match for a resurgent England, for whom the pace, aggression and enthusiasm of Steve Harmison and Andrew Flintoff has been the key factors. If the weather holds, it's hard to envisage anything other than another England win.
