Dirty fucking cunt Ramos. The whole momentum of the game was based on them being pegged back in fear of the counter and Mo's pace, so he takes him out of the game and voila, everything changes. Snide cynical scumbag of a player.
We did our very best to lose that, and still didn't manage to. I guess that says something!
Let's hope we've got some bad performances out of the way today. We'll need to be a long way better than that to win the final.
Also glad to see Cook carry his bat. It may be true that it's too late, doesnt matter, pressure off, etc, but anything that lends Alistair Cook form and confidence is good news for English cricket. There will be life after the Ashes, and more series to play, and he's the only Test class opening batsman in the country. We need him to be on the up.
Despite contributing a load of nothing through six innings, this one knock has made Cook our leading run scorer in the series.
Tells you all you need to know, that!
Would rather have had a bowl at them tonight, to be honest. Although now he's coming up on 250, so why not enjoy it. This is all we've had to smile about since the tour started.
What the fuck is the matter with them? Seriously, what is it?
307-6 now. You've got a rock down at the other end and the pitch is placid, just fucking hang around, get yourself in and accumulate.
Un fucking necessary.
