Apologies for my absence, I’ve been in Bradford for a couple of days for a film festival and it seems that Sky are not showing this second test. I can’t find any highlights or evidence that it has even been noticed. This would never happen with the BBC - they would kill to show a series that has Australia on the back foot.So, I haven’t seen any of it. I’ve only read it about it.It looks as though the weather was a bit cloudy; the Aussie batsman started well but none of them could hit three figures; Ponting seems to have dominated again but went for 77.Feel free, anyone, to correct me ...Marcus North made it to 43 and is ...   See the complete post here

England Celebrate - They’re Slightly Better Than Half As Good As Australia

- July 12, 2009
Okay, saying England is half as good as Australia is an exageration. After all, Australia only lost 6 wickets to England’s 19. So mathematically, England were only slightly better than 30% of Australia’s effort. Let’s be generous and round it up to 33%. England are a third as good as Australia. Still, I am gutted we didn’t get the win. A 1-nil scorecard would’ve been ...
