Jezza’s World of Sport

Jeremy Parmenter Hi there, Sports fans, another week, another footie season but more on that later. Let's start with yet another success for England as in Cricket – The Root Of All Success! New skipper Joe Root got off to the best of all starts on Monday as his England team beat South Africa, yet again, in the final Test of their tour, this time at Old Trafford, Man- chester, to take the Series 3-1, the first time since 1998 that the Three Lions had beaten the Proteas in a home Test Se- ries. Superbly led by MoM Moeen Ali, with a quickfire 75 in the second innings and a 5for in SA's second innings, Eng- land ran out winners by 117 runs and proved that they are now a team to be reckoned with. As for the Series, Ali was deservedly named Man of the Series as he took 25 wickets including that incredible hat-trick at the Oval in the 3rd, in 4 Tests and added some much needed runs to bolster the England innings when needed. So, a superb start for Root's captaincy and as far as Tests go, they can now look forward to facing the West Indies later this month. As for the South Africans, not a good tour, considering England beat them in the Grand Slam of One Dayers, the T20's and now the Tests but, mark my words, they will regroup and will come back all the stronger. Athletics – Double For Mo And Adios To Usain!
