I said the pitch is flat with very little carry. Have I missed the ball being taken throat high on the up by the keeper or something?
Bounce and carry =\= flatness of a pitch. There's been a pretty healthy amount of movement in the air and off the pitch.

Root's lack of foot movement and lateness of play is the kind of thing that seams something that could be on my nerves as he piles up runs for years to come

Agreed. Wasn't particularly impressed by him in the build-up, stumbled on his words a few times. Get Rob Key in there!
Yeah it is a shame he has to do the whole playing cricket thing still.

It could be Nick Knight though, we should not forget this.

It's flat. Theres pretty low, consistent bounce. That means it's flat. Whether there's swing has **** all to do with the carry in the pitch or how flat it is, especially from the get-go.
