stab me through the eyes with a blunt object

I just whipped over to get an update on the Kiwi Pom game.

Monty and Sidebottom faced 59 balls between them for the superb contribution of 3 runs.

Usually I would b a little pissed at missing a test.

I think I would pay not to see this one.

2 runs an over for 170 odd overs.

And I can almost take it from probots and professional batsmen who are putting a high price on their wickets, due the horrible thought of losing their spot, or even worse losing a major sponsor.

But from Tailenders?

You’ve got to be fu©king me.

What England needs is some Murali or Stuart Clark type batting right now, perhaps it will give them some momentum into the bowling.

Maybe it will entertain the 4 awake people at the ground.

But either way it will end it with far less pain than this extraction of a kidney with a tablespoon some people are having the misfortune to watch.

England took the extraordinary step of playing for a draw before the test started.

Remember in 2005 when they played aggressive cricket and won the ashes.

I no longer believe that really happened.

I urge you to do the same.

Then England have been rubbish since the late 80’s and the world seems a more understandable place.www.cricketwithballs.com "Sign our David Hussey petition"
