There has been a little bit in the pitch, not a lot though. If the Poms don't get a few in the next 30 min they're going to go for shitloads. Anne Bancroft looks like his concentration isn't where it should be.

Agree with that. Makes for pretty boring watching.

And we wonder why we can't win overseas when we are not batting on roads all the time!
