Can't beat a day in the sun, pint in hand and the slap of leather on willow. The cricket's not too bad too
Bad dismissals for Bell and Colly, they have to be able to deal with the short stuff if they are going to have any impact, but Strauss did a great job of keeping his cool and playing very safe. Hopefully a decent morning session, few runs and no losses and we can build a decent total, then bowl them out.
That pitch isn't going to get any better, and if we can get 400-450 on the board and give ourselves 2 days to bowl them, life's good
You're right, we don't deserve to win, but neither do they, so someone has to. They destroyed us at Cardiff and we got lucky, we hammered them at Lords, played well against them at Edgebaston when the weather took its toll and they absolutely flayed us at Headingley, so if we win this then that makes it 2 good performances each in my book (plus one we could have had), so we'll deserve it then
C'mon the Ingerlaaaaaaand
