Yegods. No wonder Scaly & I hit miserable old bugger mode whenever England bat in these games. If Cricinfo are to be believed, Joyce & Strausss just gifted their wickets when anyone with an ounce of brainpower could have worked out that they just had to play straight for a few overs. Thanks fellas. Of course, Strauss batting like a prize thicky isn't exactly a rare occurence on this tour, but you'd kinda hoped that he'd worked it out by now. game over, presumably. Cue more moans from Buchanan?

If they want a challenge then they should let England bat first. :p

Strauss appears to have been triggered too, terrible shot but very small inside edge. Loye's was missing the stumps. Guess Hodge's was a poor decision as well so they even up a little.

Why not?

If they get a good start and get some confidence then why can't they win? I mean Joyce and Bell have started off well.
Good call Craig. 8-)

But "don't expect them to win" and "can't win" are two different things. Mind you, I'm shifting pretty quickly towards the "can't win" camp as we speak.

At least something is competitive :dry:

BTW is that Bert Sutcliffe as your avatar?

Oh just checked on cricinfo and it is.
Correct Craig. Paul Tito scores the only try of his entire career (seemingly) and it has to be to win the game...against my team. This week of sport sucks ass
