oh – just to add to that, in the other recent series, one side should have dominated the other but the roads they playing on made it impossible.

nope.
obviously not english either.
i dislike (or like if you’re a positive kinda guy) both teams fairly equally but if pushed would rather england wins.
I did reference a few other recent series which have fuelled my anger towards flat pitches.
there are a many a big hundred being scored at the moment in drawn matches; Gayle, AB De V, mccullum, Cook, Sanga.

Test match pitches these days are a disgrace.
The (economic) desire for every test match to go to day5 means shed loads of batting-fests; India v NZ, SL v WI, SA v Pak, Ashes.
The double ton is the new 100.
A team can afford to fold in the first innings and then bat the shit out of the match in the 2nd.
I love test match cricket but this is complete dog shit.

Are they any better?

517-1 declared!
Wake up everyone!
At 7 an over we can still lose this.

I’ve been dozing with Test Match Sofa in my ear (no Test Match Special again on 5 Live sports extra in Ireland).
I’ve surfaced to find that we’re 487-1 and the 300 partnership is up.
How did that happen?
Who of you has sold their soul to the devil?
Tight – if it’s you, remember that selling your soul can’t be repeated to save the next Test.

I was of the opinion that the facial furniture was all part of Movember and raising money for Charidee. It’s very big in Australia, and let’s face it even the Aussies are capable of seeing that they look colossal bloody fools.

I prefer the Charidee angle
