England vs. South Africa cricket update

While the first three matches of the England vs. South Africa test cricket series were pretty dramatic, the last one showed that South Africa is a pretty strong team, and was about as dramatic as three of the four NFL playoff games this weekend --

which is to say, if you think a blowout is dramatic, then the last match of the Test series was dramatic.

So the outcome is a 1-1 draw; unexpectedly good for England.

Slaughter at The Wanderers: South Africa make a quick kill as England fall under barrage from fired-up Morne Morkel

"No, this was as one-sided a Test as you will see to end a series which has been full of drama, controversy and thoroughly exciting cricket. England are hurting but they would have taken 1-1 at the start of the series.

There is no disgrace in that scoreline, particularly as South Africa were so good at The Wanderers. It has been a series to savour."
