So easy, they even sent out a couple of bowlers to knock off the runs. The proper batsmen watched from the bar probably.

Its about time something wasnt done

That was nearly as horrible as the second test, like approaching a car crash in slow motion but swerving clear at the last second.

I've heard several whingers say: "Typical. Why do England get into good positions then try to blow it?"

Well that's the bollocks way of looking at it. The fact is that they are up against the best team in the world, who keep scrapping and don't give up.
