Andrew Flintoff has revealed that he expects England to secure a series victory over South Africa this summer.
The former England captain believes that the current side's strength in depth will allow them to dominate Graeme Smith's team in the Test series.
Flintoff told Sky Sports News: "I think we've got such a good squad I reckon our second 11 could be number two in the world - I think we really are that good.
"We'll win, I think we'll do alright. I just see us with what we've got, South Africa - obviously they're a good unit with the likes of Kallis, Steyn and Smithy the captain.
"But they win when they try and dominate you from the very start and keep you under pressure, but I don't think we'll let them do that to us."
England have recalled Ravi Bopara for the series that begins on Thursday at the Oval.
