It is good for England that Freddy seems to be finding his feat at the right time. We had no doubts regarding the form or ability of Kevin Petersen and he did not disappoint us despite the pressure of captaincy on him. If these two men get their act together in tandem throughout the series, the result could be shocking for the confident Proteas. The focus has entirely been on KP but let us not forget that the cricketer of the year 2005 is capable of astounding all round abilities. Freddy needs to give his career a last chance with the World Cup as the target. If he gets his determination that rocked the last touring Aussies, England could be a tough unit with a man as good as KP leading them. Expect some good fight in the series, but the Proteas won’t go down easily.
