Shocking. Its done wonders for my sleep pattern though as I've not watched any of the last three tests live, what's the point?Originally Posted by ramAnag

The writing was on the wall from the very first ball of the series and I too have lost little sleep watching live since. Too depressing.

Out of interest I watched a bit of the cricket last night, it again confirmed the simple truth that English Batsmen are totally devoid of basic technique! Even Root seemed to have been dragged down by the rubbish around him but that's not a surprise! TBF to him he must be pissed off with some of them!
Well done to Bairstow and Stokes with good support from Wood but the rest, try ludo!
Nope, the bottom line is that it's taken the fall of 67 wickets before someone gets a ton! Says it's all!!

Who’d a thought? A draw...we didn’t lose...some fight at last! Got to start somewhere. Well played Jimmy and Co.

Without wishing to be a miserable old git (fails miserably) If the result was based on a league table it would read:
Winner.............. weather
Runner up (on a count back but with max bonus points)................ Australia
3rd.............the pink wearing crowd and their generosity to a marvellous cause
4th...............the Barmy Army (always reliable)
5th...............the sight screen
6th...............the other sight screen
7th...............the boundary rope(bright and cheerful)
8th...............the umpires
9th...............the commentators
10th.............my missus for the Peddy
11th.............anybody or anything else I've missed
12th.............mmmmm England (for only being 80% crap!)
The 5th Test awaits!!

68 without loss, for a moment there I thought...............!
Clearly, I have a serious problem so I am arranging an appointment with my trick cyclist! Bangs his head against the wall!
