Did you not watch Southampton?Really would have been nice for England to have had a least one hard fought win in the series. Don't get me wrong the turn around has been great and all and it's nice to be back in wining ways.......just not sure how much we can take from these last 3 tests. From the first session of the last 2 we've been flogging a dead dog and playing with absolutely no pressure at all........credit to our bowlers for getting us into that position but it would have been nice to see how the team responded when it wasn't going all their way.
Where England bossed the game from start to finish?Did you not watch Southampton?
Yes I did (well my normal session and a half of each day).......what am I missing?Did you not watch Southampton?
I didn't think England would win in Australia but the reasons I was uneasy were a) England's batting was pretty **** in the home series, b) Australia's bowling, fielding and captaincy was excellent and c) the selectio was utterly appalling.They played a lot of the cricket in the last three tests. Pretty much all of it bar that collapse at Durham tbh.
In terms of a response to things not going their way. The team, and Cook in particular, came into that Test under enormous pressure.Where England bossed the game from start to finish?
I guess it didn't feel inevitable from Lunch onwards that we'd win that game like it did the last two.Where England bossed the game from start to finish?
You mean the collapse that Harris triggered and Lyon sunk his teeth into?Johnson's spell at Brisbane was what got Australia the whitewash. England were shellshocked by it and never recovered, and after their collapse at Adelaide tbere was never going to any other result than 5-0.
I'm going with Carberry being the trigger to that collapse. Fair point about Lyon though.You mean the collapse that Harris triggered and Lyon sunk his teeth into?
Well Zaremba showed a stat about almost every England player averaging better than Kohli, there was also the stat about him being one of the worst 10 inning series ever.Fun stat: if we don't count Ben Stokes (and as he's a Geordie, I think that's a fair enough stance), every England bowler averaged more with the bat than Virat Kohli.
Don't talk about your man Kohli like that, he'll still be great in the IPL, and that's what matters right?What a ****ing disgrace.
Standard morning then. Wake up to an Indian batting disgrace and grecian taking swipes at me.Don't talk about your man Kohli like that, he'll still be great in the IPL, and that's what matters right?

Should change my custom title to "The curse to India" or something.My fellow Indian fans. I hate to interrupt the celebrations but I have bad news.
I was supposed to go to this Lord's test match but in the end couldn't make it. Instead I will be attending day 1 of the 3rd test in Southampton.
I remind you all of my record of attending Indian away cricket matches - 7 losses and 1 draw.
Never attended an Indian win outside of India. I may **** this series up
