3-0 would hugely flatter England, at least tightly contested matches will be a wake up call for the Winter

The second test was as big a thrashing as you'll see.

The third test we kept in touch and no one can say what would have happened had we had a fully dry day on the 5th.

In this test we have had the upper hand until now.

Admittedly we aren't bowling very well at them in this innings, but it ain't over yet.

We have been the better side by a distance overall. That's not to say the convicts haven't had sessions where they've been on top.

I do agree we haven't played that great at times, but we haven't had to against this shower

The weather saved England in the last test Matty you can't deny that and I'm sorry but England haven't been on top in this test at all, how do you work that out?

Everyone was saying how rubbish our first innings was, and turned out to be par. We got a good second innings total and this game isn't over. See my reply to Ally re the last test - speculation

Nope, but he scored another 30, not 90. I fail to see how anyone can say we didn't deserve to win that test, which is the theme. We thoroughly deserved to be 2-0 up. I don't see how that can be denied 💤

The third test was certainly closer, but it wasn't like the convicts ran away with it.

This one is looking like they are favourites right now, but IF we get a couple of wickets after tea we'll be favourites again. Their tail is long and poor since the changes. Some enforced admittedly, but also due to circumstances such as Agar being rubbish with the ball.

"England's top three have got to start scoring - or they should be dropped. They cannot continue being 30-3 or 40-3. What would my top five be? Bell, Pietersen, Bell, Pietersen, Bell. And if I could make sure Prior couldn't bat - because he hasn't scored any runs - then I'd put Bell in again."

Well well.. half an hour or so ago I was getting very concerned.. but now I think we are slight. maybe more than that, favourites.


Yes, Haddin and Watto can bat, as can Siddle and Harris. I go back to what I always say with this lot... I am not going to say we are going to win until that last wicket is in the bag.

wow.. Watto and Haddin both gone and lost their reviews. Think the former can consider himself really unlucky to be given out, yes it was umpire's call but he should have had the benefit of the doubt.


Perhaps umps are more prepared to give LBWs with the review system and Hawkeye giving them a better idea of what could and couldn't be hitting the stumps.


 


Whatever, we've broken the back of this now and have a great chance of wrapping this up.
