Africa?s big blogging bang

New statistics show that the big bang of blogging activity that began in South Africa in 2007 has been echoed by the emergence of blogging as a high-profile phenomenon in the rest of Africa. The April-July tipping point in social media in South Africa, chronicled in this blog, also appeared to be the period during which blogging began to gain traction in the rest of Africa.

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.

Fourth time lucky for South Africa?

In any other contest, there'd be no question where the balance of power currently lies. After the drubbing that England received at Headingley, and the destabilising recriminations that followed, South Africa would appear to be in total command of this series. And yet, whenever these two teams meet, you just know there's a twist lurking around the corner. On three occasions since readmission, South Africa have taken the lead in England with a brutally emphatic victory - 356 runs in 1994, 10 wickets in 1998, an innings and 92 runs in 2003. Not once, however, have they managed to convert that start into a series win. At the halfway mark, the tourists have the upper hand, but do they have the mental strength to build on their early advantage?

Magical Monty: the England spinner takes four wickets as South Africa follow on

England should play the role of underdogs more often. Beforehand, South Africa were happy to talk up their ambitions to win their first series in England since readmission, and their opponents did not seem in any rush to demur. However their response has been like a series of heavy-weight blows to the solar plexus. South Africa are on the ropes. England have not played this well in any Test match since Duncan Fletcher left.
