This has been a remarkable turn around by England.
It wasn't that long ago that they didn't look like they could win a game at all. Broad and Anderson were jaded and off-colour and couldn't get their line and lengths right, Bell kept finding ways to get out, the fielding and keeping was sloppy, body language poor. Cook and Robson kept nicking off early. George Dobell kept writing all these articles about how the England Cricket System was broken and breaking these talented players and suppressing their flair and ability.
And now all of a sudden, Anderson and Broad have been fantastic, runs have been flowing from the whole lineup, their body language is fantastic. And literally the only thing that has been different is that Cook got some runs.*
He may not have realised it at the time, but Ravindra Jadeja has single handedly revived England cricket.
*(Yes I know Butler has replaced Prior behind the stumps but he hasn't been much better so I'll ignore that for now).

Thank god Warne and harsha are doing something good in the combox and pointing out why Steyn is obviously better than Anderson

He's getting that ball to seam such a long way. Perfect use of the wobbly seam.

Bumble back to grooming the crowd I see.
FMD you wouldn't think I send 1000x emails a day in a professional capacity. Couldn't spell my name at the moment.

Second time Kohli left one that nipped back, stupid batting. Shame this is the last Test of the series, would be averaging lower than Ravi if we kept bowling at him.

That is the innings of a guy in a mess with his game.
