A true great with a batting average of nearly 59 and a style reminiscent of the legendary Don Bradman.

Oh dear Skys coverage/cameras have gone pear shaped.

So has England's batting and the weather.

The weather had better improve on the South coast next week ;)

You can always rely on the British weather to have its say as 2 overs in and they are off again.

Test match cricket is as bad as footy without the crowds. The eerie silence as the ball goes to the boundary ( not often in this match so far ) is strange. That said I don’t miss the Barmy Army yobs.:rolleyes:

Silence ? No difference to the last county game I went to...
But yes, the fancy dressed pissed mob, who have no interest in the cricket aren't missed.

There was a polite ripple of applause at the last country game I went to at Old Trafford, at least a 1000 bodies in the ground.:)
