A horrendous start by England. That Pietersen shot was woeful, nearly a foot between bat and pad. Guess I was enjoying Australia's demise in India a bit too much.

Oh dear. It's been pretty turgid and all too familiar. The first test against India, preceded by a collapse in the first test against South Africa, again against Pakistan and now this. We seem to have a problem getting started.

Very poor so far. The ball is moving a little bit but no excuse for this situation. Bell, Root and Cook were soft dismissals, and Compton and Pietersen you would say weren't switched on and paid the price. Compton can't have many innings left to prove himself.

It's just a complete arrogance and lack of preparation on our part.

Actually meant to put on that post last night that no doubt we would be bowled out for 100 and something, and they would go past that for zero wickets by the end of the day. Well almost, was too predictable.

fuck we're shit, worst thing is because the whole north island in in a drought theres no chance of rain to save us.

On the plus side, the majority of the country want the team to lose so the coach can get sacked and fuck off back to where he came from.
