Meanwhile, Bangladesh convincingly thumped Pakistan in three consecutive games to take the series 3-0.

The three roles of APCs:
Transports.
Supply trucks.
Distractions.

On the other hand, Broad suddenly seems to have remembered that he can actually be a decent bowler when he bowls full.

I'd say it's lower order wickets, but Ramdin, Holder and Roach were key for the West Indies last time round, so hey.

Knocking it along at an ok run rate, you're just scared of the unstoppable forces of Cook and Trott

Run rate of over 2.4 from old Cooky, that's... a perfectly normal test strike rate?

The English need a big unit at the top of the order who can smash some fours and get on top of the bowling.

They claim not to but deep down all this lot want is Yes Bank Maximums and Shane Warne's Dirty Rotten. They need it.

Openers can go a little slower but even in test cricket a batsman can't get bogged down. There is a difference between protecting ones wicket and just drowning.

Still I didn't see his innings so he could have very well been batting sensibly rather than over cautious
