Bugger.

From that position, England managed to lose. Again. To Shane Warne.

No real runs from Jones or Giles. Especially Giles. Not that I’d advocate dropping anyone based on having one bad match, but there’s absolutely no valid reason for keeping the King of Spain in the side any more while Monty carries the drinks.

FACT: Paul Collingwood is the World’s Greatest Living Ginger.

Lastly, there’s been a lot of advertising from the Jamaican Tourist Board during the 2nd Test, using the tag line "We don’t like cricket…we love it". I’m not so sure they realise the full extent of that song, being as it is about a chap who, while on holiday [in Jamaica], first gets mugged and then offered some hard drugs. Nice.
