I know what you're sayin TT about each test an all that it just feels like scoring a couple of 2nd half goals after conceding 4 in the first half
Agreed Bully, small consolation in the context of a series. Broad in particular has a knack of just doing enough to maintain his place. What an overseas series shows is the positive effect English conditions have on some, Woakes in particular, who looks very ordinary over there yet swings and seams it over here.
The good news is that, by and large, it's the same for their bowlers over here, rapid pace apart.
