		<description><![CDATA[So after one Test, the series is still level and England should be confident that that is the case given they played nowhere near their best.
First let’s go through the positives.
The middle order of Trott, Pietersen and Collingwood played well. They combined for 118 runs in the first innings and 176 in the second innings.

		<description><![CDATA[For whatever reason it never felt as though England were going to comfortably save the first Test against South Africa. Despite their obvious improvements as a team in the last couple of years, they always seem to make batting out on the final day as tense as possible.
Even when Jonathan Trott and Kevin Pietersen took [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=englandcricket.wordpress.com&blog=4724171&post=809&subd=englandcricket&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been said many times that the most important batting position in any cricket team is number three. It is crucial that you have someone who can rescue the situation when the team loses an early wicket, but also be prepared to help build on an excellent start if the openers are in the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=englandcricket.wordpress.com&blog=4724171&post=805&subd=englandcricket&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

One team puts in a bad performance, but the next game they follow it up with a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=englandcricket.wordpress.com&blog=4724171&post=800&subd=englandcricket&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

He never quite performed consistently enough, but he showed flashes of being a match winner for his country and everyone thought it was a matter of time before he established himself firmly on the international stage.
Unfortunately though, it never quite happened. There [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=englandcricket.wordpress.com&blog=4724171&post=790&subd=englandcricket&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
