Why did South Africa defeat England?

By Adrian Meredith


VICTORIA, Australia (TheSportsNext) July, 24, 2012: South Africa shocked England, who are ranked 1 versus South Africa, who were just downgraded to 3, at home in England! They didn't just lose, but they were beaten by an innings! So how did this happen?

Mark Boucher's absence inspires South Africa
AB de Villiers is actually a specialist wicket keeper who, early in his career, dreamed of taking over from Mark Boucher in the team. He is nowhere as good as Boucher as a keeper but he is nonetheless a specialist keeper so him playing didn't hurt too much. It also meant extra batsmen (not that they needed it) so the team overall wasn't missing too much. Boucher missing, though, certainly inspired Jacques Kallis, probably also A B de Villiers but it may have inspired the whole team.

Hashim Amla deserved triple ton the most: brother

By Bipin Dani


MUMBAI (TheSportsNext) July 24, 2012: Hashim Amla's family in Durban was happier than the rest of the world to see his triple hundred in the month of Ramadan.

Speaking exclusively over telephone from Durban, his elder brother, Ahmed Amla, who is also a professional cricketer, said, "We are very pleased for him. Someone had to be the first to achieve the 300 and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving human being, never mind that he is an amazing batsman".
