chickenfeetWell at least the morning looked like test cricket rather than 20/20 and Katich can count himself the most unfortunate player in the series. Having played a truly gritty test innings (one of very few in the series) to be given out on a really bad lbw decision is most unlucky. Still, Vaughan could learn from Aleem Dar. Never give an Aussie an even break.
Between lunch and the close England, for the third consecutive game, did their level best to lose an unloseable game. Frankly, this is getting a bit a ridiculous. I really fear for the Oval. Perhaps the best bet, in the likely absence of Jones, would be to pick Collingwood to shore up the batting and pick a real wicket keeper (or maybe Pietersen could keep wicket since if you are going to pick someone with paddle hands you might as well pick one who can bat). However, the selectors will undoubtedly behave in their customary Panglossian manner and make as few changes as possible, if any.
