Oh dear

I stayed up to watch a bit of England's opening game last night. When I went to sleep we were doing okay (ish) when I woke up and checked this morning we had been humiliatingly beaten by 166 runs. I sense it's going to be a very long winter....

P.S. There's a lot of speculation that England are bizarrely considering playing Ashley Giles ahead of Monty Panesar, the best English spinner in my memory. All I can say is that if it happens you read it here first...
