Bloody hell, it's like a we've fallen through a wormhole back to 1999.
Except that it's been going on since the start of 2012. Lots of excuses by people who should know better until now, but the penny might just be dropping that they're vastly over-rated and only managed to fill their boots against a couple of sets of no-hopers in 2010/11 and 2011.

So England getting outplayed for the 3rd time in 4 games against a team who last won a proper Test series when teams played in black and white. How many ****ing wake up calls do these tossers need? How about just dropping people instead of royally ****ing over guys like Onions?
Onions has been batting well this season I presume?

Oh turn it up mate. You think it's our right to be spanking NZ?? In case you haven't noticed this is some fine bowling by the kiwis. No idea when they last won a test series but these guys are playing some ****ing good cricket right now.

How badly we've been we'll find out shortly when we get a bowl. But for now reserve your panic stations and pay tribute where it's due,

The media will still play the complacent call, though. Because a side that's won two of its last 6 test series are just taking it too easy. FFS.

How would the selection of Onions have helped England in this test so far?

I believe his point is that this collapse has nothing to do with the need to play Onions above Finn.

It has everything to do with very good NZ bowling and substandard English batting.
It's all about attitude and fairness, if you **** over guys like Onions who has done everything you could ask and give other players a free pass then these sort of performances will follow sooner or later.

24 overs in the session. I know there've been a few wickets, but still that is a pathetic over rate.
