I awoke for my morning constitutional when we had lost just two wickets, came down lit the fire made a cuppa and we had lost three more. emotional roller coaster
Having an Aussie Mrs is a lesson in not getting excited when it comes to Aus vs England in any sporting activity. The British press typically write off the Aussies before the matches then turn on their own country once the battle begins.
Fully expect to wake up tomorrow morning with the convicts 300-1 but today was a good day and I think we can put the greatest English batsmen conversation to bed once and for all. Who would have seen that coming from archer too lol.
I wonder if anyone else has scored a century at every test cricketing nation, certainly an achievement.
And I wonder if any nation on earth has ever won the World Cup in football, cricket and rugby… Oh wait a minute! Oh yes, ENGLAND !!
He may have done it against the original test playing nations but I don't think he's done Bangladesh or Zimbabwe. Like I said, I'm not sure anybody's done them all but Dravid would be my guess for the £1m question if pushed...
I like your optimism but I think we all know how this sorry episode is going to end. How many times did they practice with a pink ball under lights before today? Totally under prepared and a worrying malaise from the start of the tour imo.
