durham if you think cricket is boring, I guess you wouldn't have watched enough to have that opinion.
That was a herculean effort by England after being 45-4, after two close games, this series could still go either way.
For sure there's not much between the two sides.
However, I can't see how England can win an Ashes test.
England have periods where they drift right out of the game, while the Aussies are merciless, relentless.

Regarding "the incident" - Jonny only has himself to blame.
It should help galvanise the England team & fans with righteous anger though.
