England v South Africa, 2012

A review of the first Test, England v South Africa, 2012

Cricket, the England way

Unlike Australia or West Indies of previous generations, England's style is not that of domination or brutality. England do what English cricket teams have done since cricket was first civilized

Time to offer Amla some cheesecake

I've not been inside Jonathan Trott's head for the last two days, but I bet he's had more than one nightmare in that time. You know the nightmare

We didn't play like No. 1 - Anderson

James Anderson has admitted the pressure that comes with defending their No. 1 Test status is something England are still "coming to terms with"

The wristy joy of Amla

His batting is cause for celebration and his achievements reflect the greater cultural richness now evident in South Africa
