ENGLAND v SOUTH AFRICA
(South Africa 13th November - 4th December, 2009)
After England's re-birth with two outstanding performances in the Champions Trophy, November sees the start of a seven match series against the might of South Africa...
Preview: Twenty20 Games
England don't quite seem to have found the knack of Twenty20 yet -when they played South Africa at the World Cup back in June, they lost by 7 wickets, after being restricted to just 111 from their twenty overs. Although they have specialists such as Luke Wright, Joe Denly and Tim Bresnan, if Pietersen doesn't perform then they usually don't make a defendable total.
Preview: One Day International Series
One-day squad: Andrew Strauss (Middlesex - captain), James Anderson (Lancashire), Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Paul Collingwood (Durham), Alastair Cook (Essex), Joe Denly (Kent), Sajid Mahmood (Lancashire), Eoin Morgan (Middlesex), Graham Onions (Durham), Kevin Pietersen (Hampshire), Matt Prior (Sussex), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Graeme Swann (Nottinghamshire), Jonathan Trott (Warwickshire), Luke Wright (Sussex).
BOWLERS
James Anderson -
GUIDE -(Sporting Index)
Makhaya Ntini -Regarded as the engine room of the SA attack, he has taken 351 test wickets at 28.36 apiece. Took ten wickets at Lords back in 2003 and once in every 5 games takes 5 wickets in an innings. A genuinely quick bowler who will unsettle all the England batsmen as part of SA's three-pronged fast bowling attack. t

Stuart Broad -With a test average of 41, he is fast becoming a genuine all-rounder. Should have plenty of chances to bat when England's middle order do their usual 'deck of cards' collapse. He looks under-priced having shown some of the batting qualities of his test-opener father Chris Broad.
