			What is going to be the third bit of bad sports news today?  England lose the cricket, Murray wins all 3 rubbers in the Davis Cup, what next?

 See this is the thing for me? Regularly we hear when one team is batting, invariably not England, that it's a flat wicket and they rack up the runs. Then before you know it England are 58/6     
There's the ninth down, an utter embarrassment   
That God I'm Scottish, yay Andy   
I do support England at cricket though

			Well, I did say that it should be an Aussie win if it followed the pattern set already this century.  But I never expected to see a defeat quite this big. 
 
I've heard people say that Bell should be dropped, and Ali moved from 8th batting to 3rd.

			Root should be moved up to number 3 whilst bell should go down to 5 with Lyth and Balance dropped.

			Just turned TV on to watch on VM and for some reason the HD feed from Sky seems to have swapped over. HD is on C503 and standard broadcast is on C513, ???  
 
All the HD channels seem to have moved to the start of the Sky Sports channels, when did that happen?
