I don't like Cricket

97 days to go, 173 all out

Well that wasn't very convincing was it. Certainly not the dominance that was needed. And while Sky have been going on and on about only ten teams choosing to bowl first in the history of the Oval, it looks like Inzi's apparently odd decision could have paid off.

We must never give an inch to the Australians. So today's collapse is clearly part of big Dunc's plans to:
a) give the Aussies misleading data on our batsmen's strengths and weaknesses to analyse over the next 97 days.
b) set up an amazing comeback for me to witness on Sunday.

Because of the missed overs earlier in the day, play has been extended until at least 7pm. A great chance to return to Test cricket that runs until late in the day rather than the ICC's insistence that play should end bang on the due time, which always seemed unfair on English tests with our long evenings.
