While i realise he's now doing his best in this partnership. Without those dropped catches we'd be well in touch now.

Feels weird setting up the "Doherty is a seam bowler" joke instead of making it, nevertheless I approve of it.

It was never that good in the first place. Some of us have been pointing this out, only to be drowned out by the pollyanna crowd. England has the strongest lower order in world cricket, but the lack of genuine class players in the top and middle orders, players in the Sanga/Amla/De Villiers/Clarke bracket of effectiveness, who can score runs in all conditions, at different tempos dependent on the match situation, and against all types of bowling, is making a nonsense of the number one ranking. Not one of England's top six gets anywhere near a world Test batting XI on current form.
To the pollyanna crowd: are you now convinced that KP, Bell and the other under-performers haven't got what it takes to take the team where we want to go? Ought we to thank them for their services, wave them farewell, and look to inject fresh blood into the team? Or should we close our eyes, hope for the best and dream that they'll all of a sudden look confident and competent - having miraculously got better with intensive net sessions back in Blighty - the next time they tour the SC?
Answers on a postcard please......
