    200 behind the ozzies first innings leads, England stand at 2 for 20.

    Trescothic went for a duck. Butcher lasted about three balls I think. What has happened to English cricket??

    Trescothic has failed 4 out of 4. Butcher is useless. Stewart cant bat either and hes only ordinary behind stumps. Believe me, I dont like seeing England like this. Its bad for the game.

    Ive never watched Match of the Day. How anyone can get excited about a game where 20 blokes run around for 90 minutes and only kick 1 GOAL is beyond me. What a waste of energy. All that running around and only 1 ( okay, maybe 2) goals. Bloody hell, Id fall asleep mid way thru the match I reckon.

    They must be short-sighted 'cos we haven't got a team, we haven't got an administration, in fact we got nothin' this year. 44th?????
