LONDON : South Africa are not sure how they are going to deal with England’s new aggressive approach to playing test cricket with coach Mark Boucher saying on Monday they will adopt a wait-and-see attitude when the first test starts at Lord’s on Wednesday.
CAPE TOWN : South Africa have picked a strong 34-man squad for their next two Rugby Championship matches in Australia but coach Jacques Nienaber warned they would again experiment in their final two tests against Argentina next month.
Mark Boucher saying on Monday they will adopt a wait-and-see attitude when the first Test starts at Lord's on Wednesday. England have won their last four Tests under new captain Ben Stokes with an aggressive batting and bowling approach, nicknamed "Bazball", which helped them chase down big targets to beat both New Zealand and India in the last two months. Stokes is expected to stick to the formula for the three-Test series against South Africa.
Sir Andrew Strauss has warned that English cricket needs to be ready to react as the “tectonic plates” of the world game continue to shift.
The All Blacks have moved up a spot to fourth in the latest World Rugby rankings and trail the third-placed Springboks by the narrowest of margins.
Since Brendon McCullum took charge as head coach, and Ben Stokes replaced Joe Root as Test captain, England have thrived under the attacking 'Bazball' philosophy in the longest format. After being thrashed by Australia in the Ashes, England clean swept New Zealand 3-0 on home turf, before also beating India in the rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham. The Stokes-led side now face South Africa for a three-match Test series. Ahead of the Test series, South Africa captain Dean Elgar was of the opinion that committing to the 'Bazball' philosophy could leave England looking foolish in the long run.
NEW DELHI : Organisers of a new Twenty20 league in the United Arab Emirates are working with their counterparts in Australia and South Africa to minimise the impact of scheduling clashes with their competitions, a top official has told Reuters.
LONDON : England are expected to reprise their new attacking approach instilled by captain Ben Stokes, but will come up against a powerful South Africa seam attack in the three-test series starting on Wednesday.
