Justin Kemp

In all the tributes I paid to Pietersen's innings, I kind of forgot to mention a fabulous knock of 80 in just 50 balls by Justin Kemp - with 7 sixes. This was also a very crucial innings coming at a time when it looked like England might restrict South Africa. In the end each of those sixes was worth its weight in gold as the victory margin suggests. People have already started calling him the next Lance Klusener though I tend to disagree - I'd rather wait - he has played only a couple of decent innings so far !!!

Also don't forget - another 100 by Graeme Smith - weren't people saying he is an overrated batsman ???

Graeme smith is one of the best in the game, boasting a test average of over 50. South Africa should also bring back Klusner and we should have the pleasure of watching both Kemp and Klusner bat together.
