Did the Proteas underestimate England?


Being 2-1 down in the current series against England with one to play, South Africa need to address a few aspects of their performance, team composition and game plan if they are to level matters on Friday against a team they may have underestimated from the start.

England have not much to lose in respect of their ODI ranking, but would love to cement their dominance of late of the Proteas.

Also, carrying momentum and belief forward into the four-match test series will be of paramount importance to both teams.

On Inside Edge on Tuesday at 20h00 on SS2, Mpumelelo 'Pommie' Mbangwa and Kepler Wessels will be focusing on the two ODIs played over the past weekend, discussing both team’s performances. Give them your views here and then follow the discussion live tonight.

Many of the comments will be used in the programme, so try to keep them concise and to the point.
