*Official* Second Test at Lords

But he was born in NZ, correct? If I moved to New Zealand, I would still consider myself and Australian. Plus, he is technically a New Zealander.

Russell Crowe moved to Australia when he was 4 so he wouldn't even remember New Zealand...Good thing too or he may have picked cricket as a career like his New Zealand cousins Martin and Jeff :)

Strauss bowling Broad so much so that he doesn't have to make a decision by himself? We know that once this follow on is avoided we'll collapse and hand the game to Australia on a plate.

Oh dear. They've been very kind to Strauss regarding his captaincy this match. Quite surprised.
Oh yeah, Strauss has somehow been praised for his captaincy this match.

Essentially, though, most commentators refuse to acknowledge anything other than good position for team = good captaincy, poor position = not-so-good captaincy. There are exceptions, but bad punditship does indeed help cause bad teams, because poor performance is not held accountable.

Anyway, gooooooonnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeee. Onions, thank ****.

Now there's a third man in, Australia should just leave everything outside off.

Too late. Bell-ends.
