bowling was the same as, well it was when i saw it.

lyth wanted to feel bat on ball and nibbled at one he should have left. ballance stands closer to the stumps than the umpire does at the other end at village cricket, when mitch gets at him he will be stood on them and seriously feel that despite his good average, he needs time away, he's been found out just like bairstow did the other year. by my working out that would mean that james taylor comes in, although i do feel he is the replacement for ian bell.

now what would they do? an aggressive coach/selector would put hales in at three, the place he has been dominating from for notts. however the odds of change with this current england set up is the same as the UK winning that eurovision crap.

on another note it is nice to see the bbc being ultra negative about england, as will the written press no doubt and whilst we are not in the greatest of places as a team (nation) this mindset of the media wont help whatsoever and to be honest its really irritating and gets me annoyed because they are the first to want a piece of the action when everything goes well. but hey ho certain aspects of the media are parasites.
