If you look at the 6 days of cricket played so far....

There was nothing in it for the first 5, and really we should have gone on to win the first test. I think yesterday was the first actual bad day we've had.

First test, we had some sloppy moments in the field and with the bat, yesterday I thought we looked relatively poor.

If we had Leach and Archer, or even just one of them, I have no doubt we'd have won the first match. Problem is I can't really see Archer ever being fit to play.

Anyway, overall I agree with you. It might be that we lose every match, but I'd be surprised if we're outclassed in many of them - seems like we might be in this one, but they always beat us at Lords, don't they?!
