Wasnt Beefy dropped from the English camp for drug usage on a Caribbean tour :wink:

I used to use it to help get rid of headaches.

4/94 at lunch. Maybe THIS TIME we might have a close test?

Maybe given england have gone without a Root this time, they may play with a bit more aggression.....

Don't count on it. The poms are cabernet at taking advantage of having us on the ropes. 5/201 now. Haddin has been great this series.

326 all out, pretty good for a team that got sent in. Not bad scoring rate, 4.29, something the poms could only dream of after so many overs.

it's a test match, not a 20/20.

326 brilliant from where you were. Annoying to once again be letting your tail wag.

Will England be able to match this score at least once this match?

Still looked inconclusive. I guess you can give them all a few chances and we'd still be ok.

Looks like Anderson is the answer at no 3 for england. After all, he outscored Carberry, Bell and KP.

To be fair to Haddin, he did shrug his shoulders as to whether it had carried or not....haven't seen too many replays of the Cook catch yet...just going on first-second viewing.

Cook's was straight in the hands - absolutely clear cut.
