England still top: That's a relief

7/4/2012

 

Have England finally found some confidence in their approach to cricket on the Indian sub-continent? They should never have lost all their tests against Pakistan, helpless as they seemed to be against the mystic spin of Saeed Ajmal.  Against a mediocre Sri Lankan attack, they appear to have decided that aggression is fine, patience isn't a precursor to panic and the DRS just requires an adjustment in approach that removes the big stride and the pad from the array of defensive techniques. Their bowlers consistently buy them room to get it right... it's a shame they won't be able to consolidate their experience any time soon.

Saffers in the summer, but with conditions upon which the English team have built their No1 status. The finest sight in test cricket is Graham Smith failing to accept defeat graciously. Can't, can't, can't wait.

I think the finest sight in the whole of international sport us that of an Australian side losing. Especially to England, and especially at cricket. But it could be tiddlywinks against Guatemala.
