Hard to say. After one disappointing series loss in Sri Lanka is difficult to say if it was a blip or a trend. We're a very different proposition at home anyway. Traditionally we are very difficult to beat in SA and England have always struggled when touring SA (since readmission anyway).
Only Australia have beaten us at home in the last 40 or so years. Since readmission, the only Test England have won in SA was the infamous "Hansie and the leather jacket" Test at Centurion. I'd still back SA to win, but it may be closer than expected.
