Re: Cricket
Unless a miracle happens overnight, I agree it will all be over for the Series by tomorrow night. Which is a shame as I was hoping for it to go to at least the 4th Test before England won it. Oh well.
Well done England, although I do think Cook needs to be replaced as captain or at the very least learns to have more than one tactic in play for a Test match. It just seemed as though this Test he was playing for getting to Sunday and the rain, therefore making the Test a draw.

England will have to show a lot of mental strength to get through this, or a lot of rain.

Re: Cricket
Who'd have thought Monty could do such a thing? Can't see him playing for England again in the near future.
