What does the Future hold for English Cricket?

Many were willing to judge England as a test team after the four match npower test series against India. This is because India are the number one ranked test side. But only after one match it is clear that England are a team on the rise.
All the english players performed a which resulted in a crushing 196-run victory over the tourists.
England lost the toss and put into bat which seemed to be the correct decision after dismissing both openers; Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook for 22 and 12 respectively. Jonathon Trott and Kevin Peiterson undertook the rebuilding. Rain shortened the first day but England finished on 127-2 which considering it was a very overcast day in London was extremely solid.
England resumed with Trott well placed on fifty and Peiterson looking confident after a tricky first day. However Trott failed to add lots of runs to his overnight total getting out lbw on 70. Ian Bell came in to a join a not fluent Peiterson. They had a job to do as a partnership was needed.
This is what occurred but fell just shoet of his half-century edging Kumar to Dhoni on 45. Then Eoin Morgan was removed aswell by Kumar and England were five down and Pradeen Kumar bowling a marvellous spell of swing bowling.
Peiterson however remained very calm and reached his first century for in England for three years. His joy was clear to see. This was his slowest century in his career off over 200 balls. Although it seemed his best century since he battled early on and played very unlike him. Prior at the other end was very good reaching 71 but also fell. England still looked to push on and Peiterson did not disappoint reaching his third double hundred of his career. His second hundred came of only 110 balls showing how he can go through the gears. He hit 21 fours and 1 six ending on 202 not out. After achieving this landmark England declared on 474-8 leaving a short passage of play for India to survive. They came through this and at the close of day 2 India were on 17 for no loss. Day 3 was a sunny day and India were expected to bat well. The start was promising as Mukund raced to 49 and Gambhir played the anchor role. Then Stuart Broad came into bowl who was under pressure as his place in the side had been called into question. It was clear from the start that he had a different approach as he pitching the ball up as opposed to short deliveries. He bowled very well and got his reward getting both openers, bowling them both.
Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid came to the crease. They looked promising but Tendulkar was also removed by Broad. Then due to the excitement of removing the 'little master' Strauss dropped Laxman and Swann dropped the vital wicket of Dravid. Then Laxman was out because of Tremlett's persistent lines and lengths.
Then Swann trapped Raina for a duck. This put India in a spot of bother. Dhoni and Dravid kept fighting getting over 200 but then Tremlett got the break through sending the Indian captain back to the Pavilion. From this moment onwards the Indian innings flopped. Harbajhan Singh was out for a duck off the bowling of Tremlett giving him his third wicket of the match.
Then Broad took Praveen Kumar and Anderson finished off taking 10 and 11. This all happened very quickly but Dravid still had time to get his 33rd century. The Indians were all out for 285 giving England a great first innings lead of 188. Then the English openers had to survive for a couple of minutes. On day four it was obvious what England wanted to do. They wanted quick runs which at 54-1 seemed very likely but then England appeared to have nostalgia and collapsed to 62-5. Morgan and Prior needed to have a large partnership as India could now see victory in their grasp. Their tails went up again when Morgan got out on 19.
Broad took guard on a pair but played brilliantly. Both players had an aggressive approach which gave England time to bowl at India. Prior got a magnificent 100 and Broad finished on 70. Their partnership exceeded the 150 mark. England declared again on 269-6. They had 20 at the end of the day to put pressure on the Indians which they did taking Mukund early. Due to injuries to Gambhir and Tendulkar Dravid opened and Laxman came in at three. They both batted well and survived till the close of play.
At the start of the day India looked solid and determined but then Anderson and Swann bowled very well. They both got rewards; Swann taking Gambhir and Anderson took Dravid, Laxman and the valued wicket of Tendulkar. Then the Indians began to frustrate the English through Raina and Dhoni.
The match entered its final session but because of England scoring quick runs almost a session was added. Tremlett bowled patiently but with a bit of extra bounce got Dhoni caught behind.
This gave England the impitus to get Singh and Kumar. Anderson and broad getting a wicket each.
Anderson then bowled a magic delivery which first moved in towards the batsman and then seamed away from him taking the outside edge of Raina's bat. At this point England only needed one wicket to win in 30 overs.
This was taken by Stuart Broad bowling Sharma. He ended with match figures of 7-94 and Anderson lead the attack brilliantly in the second innings claiming a 5 wicket haul.
England beat Australia convincingly on their turf and now are bossing the world number ones. The future looks bright because of England's young talent and the squad is also young with many years ahead of it and will definitley claim the number one spot in the near future.

What Arsenal must do to win trophies?

Arsenal are selling their best players to rival clubs, this must stop and Arsene Wenger should buy star players who have experience and determination to win. The exit of Gael Clichy ,it appears,hasn't been noticed and a decent replacement has not been found. To add insult to injury it seems that Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri will leave this season or the next. If this occurs players must be brought in but Arsene doesn't see it this way. He believes that Arsenal have young talent which is true but not what is needed to win. Arsenal needs experience, leaders and similar assets which they lack. Strong defenders that can work in unison must be brought in to improve an extremely fragile defence. This has been show many times throughout the season for example the way Arsenal threw away a 4 goal lead to Newcastle or the drumming Arsenal received at the hands of West Brom, 2-3 at the Emirates. The Goalkeeping department also needs a boost such as bringing in quality keepers to save you vital points in search of the title. Manchester United did it with the signing of De Gea. Another thing that United have done well is keeping their experienced players to mentor the young which provides a delightful mix. Wenger has a blind spot as everything I have mentioned he disregards but to all Arsenal fans it is obvious what to do and share the same opinion as I. Wenger should be given an ultimatum saying that if he doesn't win a major honour next season he should lose his job.

Tortures

ANCIENT TORTURES

Throughout this blog I will be discussing the dark side of the human race. People have been ingenious in the different methods of torture they have created. We will explore these in depth and show you the gruesome reality of our ancestors and the refined techniques that we use today.

The Judas Cradle

This is the Judas Cradle. It was used by the Spanish Inquisition. This was organised by Spanish Catholics and so-called heretics would be tortured so that they would convert their faith. The victim is tied to the top of the spike and slowly lowered onto it. The spike slowly penetrates up the anus and tears it apart. It was rarely cleaned so dried blood and flesh covered the surface.

It was an instrument of torture but had some vital flaws in it. These range from the amount of time it took for it to penetrate someone and it was difficult to use. Some of the basic principles were taken away and refined to become methods of torture such as the Iron Maiden and the Pear of Anguish.

Pear of Anguish

This is the pear of anguish. The torturer would insert the pear up the vagina, anus or the mouth and the screw would be turned. The separate leaves would expand tearing and mutilating the inside of the body. It was used on liars and homosexuals/ adulterers. You can see the twisted irony that is employed here to deter people from homosexuality.

The pear was not usually washed so infection was very common but it would not be the primary cause of death. Blood loss and shock were the main cause of death. So-called witches suffered this fate and if they did not die of this were later burned.

The Iron Maiden

The iron maiden is basically an iron sarcophagus. The victim would be strapped inside with chains and the door would slowly be closed and the spikes on the door would slowly penetrate the victim. The spikes would be strategically placed to not puncture any vital organs but it would stab out the eyes and cause severe pain. The victim would certainly die later but if he converted, the Spanish would have seen this as a success and he was a 'martyr' of the Catholic faith.

This is another invention of the Spanish Inquisition and at the same time the victim is being interrogated. This has been used in many cartoon programs such as ‘Tom and Jerry’ and 'Simpsons'.

The Rack

z

The victim would be literally pulled apart until the rope or his body give way and rip into two pieces. It is a horrible way to go and is one that nobody should experience.

Henry the eighth wanted to get rid of his current wife Anne Boleyn but still wanted to remain popular. Thomas Cromwell, his advisor and Chancellor, decided to torture people who were close to here such as her brother. These people could not withstand the pain and confessed to having sex with her. They knew that they were going to be executed after this but still gave a false confession that is how desperate they were. Anne Boleyn was executed with the lot of them and Henry VIII was seen as the victim in the publics' eyes. This shows the way propaganda can influence peoples' views.

Modern Tortures

Now I will explore the modern innovating inventions that have shaped the way we see torture and the way we live.

Electric Shock

This form of torture is probably one of the most painful and is not messy in any way. A current ,up 75,000 volts, is passed through a victim who promptly jiggles up and down in agony. It requires a lot of equipment and it not cheap at all. When the torturer has not got the equipment readily available, he can connect wires from the victim to a car battery.

It is also a risky form of torture as if the person has a heart condition, there is a huge chance of death. The victim may be left with burns, even more severe heart conditions and neurological effects as well. The electric current can be faulty and produce light radiation which can break or damage the bones/ organs irreparably.

Now policemen carry tasers which can re-create these circumstances. These have the purpose of a deterrent but are misused as several, innocent people have died.

Psychological Torture

This involves in no way any physical pain but it is a very hard form of torture to perform as some human psychological knowledge is necessary. The torturer has to destroy the victim's self-image and place him in an extremely uncomfortable environment. He must feel helpless and be in an emotional trance. A more rapid way of doing this is making him be naked, depriving him of sleep and not letting him sit or lie down. Then the patient is subjected to a mock execution, at this point he is distraught and if done correctly will confess.

A legal version of this is a process called aversion therapy which was used on homosexuals and criminals in the 60's and 70's. The torturer put chemicals into the patient to make him feel ill then he was forced to watch films of violence or homosexuality. His brain linked the pain with homosexuality, so he never wanted to return to his old sexual habits. This works but the will to do it still exists and it is inhumane to oppress a natural urge. People actually volunteered for this and this is outlined perfectly in the controversial book ' A Clockwork Orange' by Anthony Burgess. This was later adapted into a film by Stanley Kubrick.

Water Torture

This form of torture is cheap and some types can be performed rapidly. There are four types of water torture; forced ingestion, dunking, water boarding, and irregular dripping. I will start with the most brutal of them which is dunking. Here a person has his head forced into water repeatedly, if not done properly the victim may drown. The only way to stop is if the person confesses. This was done in the Middle Ages where they had something called 'Trial by Ordeal'. A witch would be thrown ,in a bag, into a lake. If she drowned, she was not a witch, if she survives she is a witch. If this occurs the witch would be burned.

Forced Ingestion is the most disgusting form of water torture and it is obvious what happens because of the name. The victim has water gushed into his stomach. Then he is allowed to vomit out the liquid. This process is repeated several times until the cells in this stomach expand and explode. This is called osmosis and when this has begun the victim's hours are numbered. The victim is sent into state of utter agony and will confess to whatever.

Water boarding is a false drowning, it gives the victim the sensation of water gushing down his throat. A cloth or plastic is placed over the victim's mouth and it leaves no signs of torture.

Irregular dripping or Chinese Water torture shows a deep understanding of human psychology as the torturer knows that the brain looks for patterns between the drips. Drips of water fall on the victim's forehead and the mind looks for a regular pattern between the drips. If it cannot find one it will drive the victim to insanity. Cold water and uncomfortable positions exacerbate the sense of misery the patient is feeling.

Conclusion

The uses of torture have changed over the centuries, the ancient tortures focused on pain and were not used to obtain vital knowledge or information but for political reasons. The Spanish Inquisition wanted people to convert but they knew that the people they tortured would die. They were supposed to deter people from other faiths. In practice, it had the opposite effect thus creating many martyrs and giving the Catholic religion a bad reputation.

Modern torture moves away from complex devices and into the deep psychology of the human mind and reactions to certain circumstances. The purpose of tortures has also changed and is mostly used because of necessity. Matters of National Security are seen as exceptional circumstances and therefore can require torture. Although this frowned upon as described in the 'Geneva Convention'. Military wars also need to obtain vital information of the enemy and can do so through torture. Many people have argued that this can work against them as false information may be given just to ease the pain. This can often be worse then the truth as this may leave them unprotected where the enemy really is.

What are Arsenal's Chances of winning a Trophy?

Arsenal managed to get past Ipswich Town and reach the Carling Cup final. This is our best opportunity for years to win silverware. The only obstacle we face is in the form of a solid Birmingham City side. They have proven to be hard to beat but they have had a slump in form recently.

Unfortunately for the Gunners, they are picking up goals and confidence. They got to the final and drew against a strong Manchester City team. They will be a difficult nut to crack but Arsenal's class will prevail. Birmingham have lost their best defender on a long term injury and they will not be able to cope with the sheer magnificence of Fabregas, Walcott, and Chamahk's aerial presence. Samir Nasri has been Arsenal's best player by a distance this season but he has suffered an injury which will keep him out of action for at least three weeks. He might just recover in time for the Wembley final itself.

I hope that Arsenal are up for it and hungry for a victory as any good performance will give the Gunners a trophy that they so badly need. The Atmosphere will prove too much to handle for the midland team as the final is in London and we should have an overwhelming majority over the Birmingham fans.

My prediction is that Arsenal will win three goals to nil. We will claim the trophy which will be the first of many to come!

England's cricket World Cup Squad

Batsmen                                           Bowlers

Andrew Strauss (c)                     James Anderson

Ian Bell                                       Tim Bresnan

Paul Collingwood                        Stuart Broad

Eoin Morgan                               Ajmal Shahzad

Kevin Pieterson                          Graeme Swann

Matt Prior (wk)                          James Tredwell

Jonathan Trott                            Michael Yardy

Luke Wright

I will analyse Andy Flower's choice of Squad. Andrew Strauss can be very good but can also get out very quickly. If he wants to confirm his place in the side he has to get a couple of hundreds in this ODI series with Australia. He was reasonable in the Ashes getting lots of fifties but only one or two hundreds. On the other hand he is a very clever captain making the right decisions at the right time. 

Ian Bell was a definite for me as he has shone throughout the Australian tour showing he is on the form of his life.In the last test he got 116 and he was batting down the order making lots more valuable quick contributions. He is also a very good fielder and will never let you down in that aspect of the game.

Paul Collingwood I wasn't sure about but at the the end I think that he should be in the squad. He is an outstanding fielder taking some magnificent catches in the Ashes. Batting wise he has not delivered the goods and done nothing all tour. He instils confidence and when he is on form can be a destructive force. His off-cutters and medium pacers could be vital on the sub-continent conditions.

Eoin Morgan has shown us that he is a quality batsmen and provides stability to the England innings. He usually gets big scores and is a very good fielder giving energy off. He is renowned for his unpredictability  which will be key. Shots like the reverse sweep and the Dilshan which is the hit over the head are his speciality.

Kevin Pieterson seems to be back on form after lots of quick fire fifties and a massive 227 in the second test match for England. He is the best player in the world when he is on form because of his strength and sheer quality. He even has proved himself with the ball taking a critical wicket of Michael Clarke.

Matt Prior is an excellent wicket keeper but I do not believe that he has what it takes to be an opening batsmen in the World Cup. He scored a century in the final Ashes test and is on form but he has not convinced me. Steven Davies or Kieswetter would have been a better choice as they score quickly and play well in pressure situations.

Jonathan Trott has had a wonderful year, in the English summer he was England's best batsman scoring every time he was out in the middle. He has carried his form to Australia making a few hundreds and fifties. He is extremely reliable and will always get a decent score. He is a good fielder and I think that his overs will contribute massively to the English bid of winning the World Cup.

Luke Wright is, in my opinion, a bits and pieces cricketer who can make very quick runs and take wickets. The selectors like him a lot and throughout  Andy Flower's leadership of England he has made no mistakes. Luke Wright has a knack of taking wickets at vital times but I am not sure that he can bowl his 10 overs. I think they made the correct decision taking him. They could use him as a substitute fielder as he is very energetic and catches brilliantly.

Now onto the bowlers and the person leading this attack will be James Anderson who I think is one of the best bowlers in the World. He makes the ball reverse or swing both ways and is a wicket taker. When he is not taking wickets he applies pressure on the opposition through maiden overs. This then allows other bowlers to take the wicket and the credit. He is experienced and it came to me as no surprise that he was included in the squad.

Tim Bresnan bowled brilliantly in the Ashes taking valuable wickets. He made the ball swing and is an excellent bowler at the death thus applying pressure on the opposition. He ,unlike, Anderson usually takes advantage of this by claiming a wicket for himself but he is usually bowling at the tail enders. He is an extremely accurate bowler at the death as well.

Nobody argues that Stuart Broad is talented but I don't think that he should have been included in the squad just on the basis that he has not played much cricket at all. He had to withdraw from the tour because of a torn stomach muscle. He is a natural wicket taker but is expensive like Steven Finn. Tremlett might not take as many wickets but does give away 30 runs less.

Ajmal Shahzad deserves his place in the team as he is hugely talented at swinging the ball thus takes a lot of wickets. It is a gamble but if he gets it swinging nobody can play him. He would start in my books. He might not be as good with the new ball but can be deadly with the oldish ball.

Graeme Swann has been magnificent all summer taking wickets on very difficult surfaces and conditions. In England he took record number of wickets and was vital in the English Ashes' victory. He was an obvious choice for the World Cup and will prove a decisive factor. The sub-continent conditions will suit him and he will take many wickets through the course of the tournament.

James Tredwell was a surprise as he has not been part of the England set up for a long time. The more I think about it the more I tend to agree with the selectors. His batting may be an important contribution near the end of the match. As I have mentioned before Indian conditions with favour the slower bowlers and he might be able to take wickets. I think that he will not be able to get in the team, the only way he might is if any of the spinners get injured.

Michael Yardy has supplemented Swann extremely well over the last very successful year. He used to be a fast bowler but turned to slower pace. He now bowls accurate darts and creates pressure that Swann thrives on. He will have a good tournament and the conditions will help him as well.

Will Arsene Wenger buy somebody?

There is a clear weakness at the heart of the Arsenal defence after the last two seasons. Kolo Toure was sold to Manchester City and he was a very good player who was capable of marvellous defending. Tomas Vermaelen was brought in to replace him and he looked to be even better than his predecessor. At the start of the season he became Arsenal's top goalscorer and was considered a very decent defender. The fans had thought that they had found a good partnership between Vermaelen and William Gallas.

Arsene Wenger claimed that Gallas was asking for too much money and too long a contract. He always insists on not giving players over thirty more than a one year contract. Arsene decided to buy another two centre-halves and got Koscieley and Squillaci who are both not very good.

Koscieley was supposed to start with Vermaelen but Vermaelen got injured and still is. This meant that the new defenders had to start. They have been at fault for many goals and Wenger has admitted that there is a problem. There is talk that Christopher Samba was going to join West Ham but was put off by a bid by the Gunners. He is not the World Class defender we need but is strong and reliable which is what Arsenal need at the moment.

I believe that Wenger will buy a defender but not the ones we are in dire need of. He will get average players and Arsenal's defence will not be able to cope thus not giving a worthy challenge to Manchester United!

Why England won the Ashes?

1st Test

As I have said in the past I fully expected England to retain the ashes but I never would have hoped for such a brilliant performance in Australia! We travelled there with a very young and talented squad but we did not start too well as we were bowled out for 260. This was due to Siddle getting six wickets in an innings but there were positives as Cook got 60, Iain Bell got a fifty and Peiterson looked like he was on form getting 39.

In the Australian innings wickets fell in quick succession but suddenly Mike Hussey and Brad Haddin make a record partnership at the Gabba. Hussey fell short of the double ton and Haddin got 132. The English bowler, Finn, who has shown a lot of promise got six wickets as well. Australia posted  a big score of 481.

England came out to bat 221 runs behind Australia but soon this would all change. Strauss after getting naught in the first innings made 110. Then Cook and Trott broke the record partnership that had been set the previous day. Cook ended up with a huge double hundred (not out) and Trott made 132 (not out). Strauss declared on 517-1. They had a session to ball the Australians out.

The opening pair fell very quickly and the higher middle order did not to much to stop the English bowlers but yet again Hussey and Haddin saved Australia. England had managed to take five wickets but the match was drawn. England had managed to turn it around and they had the upper hand over the Australians. They needed to take advantage of this in the next test.

2nd Test


Hopes were high at Adelaide and the English turned up in numbers to see what would happen. England began bowling and got the Australians out for below 300 runs but Hussey had got a very good score.

Cook came out and made runs quickly but Strauss went for a few runs. This was not to perturb Cook as he went on to make 189 and then came K.P. He got his highest ever score of 227 and Australia were left dumbfounded. England declared on 620 runs.

The pitch appeared to have cracks perfect for Swann and the Australians did everything they could to stop this happening. They drove heavy rollers over the pitch for a long time but this proved to no avail as Swann got a five wicket haul and the Australians lost by an innings and 73 runs.The bad news was that Stuart Broad had to pull out of the tour because of a torn stomach muscle. This was the biggest Australian defeat since 1939! England were one up in Australia!

3rd Test

Australia were on the back foot and on the defensive. They were panicking and the fans wanted Shane Warne   back in the squad to see if he could inspire a major comeback to save Australian cricket form utter humiliation. In the end he was not needed.

England looked to have carried on their good form as they bowled the Aussies out for less then 300 runs again but then England returned to the dark ages where collapses were a frequent feature of their game. Strauss and Cook made a 91 run partnership and it seemed plain sailing until Johnson bowled. He managed to swing the ball round corners and took his place by the scruff of the neck after being dropped. England fell apart and Mitchell Johnson took six deserved wickets. Australia were 83 runs ahead, it would seem that England were not completely out of this one.

Australia made around 300 but Hussey had got them there with yet another high score. He had not been dismissed for less than a fifty whole series. If England could turn it around they might just be able to clinch victory and retain the Ashes for the first time in 24 years.

It was not going to turn out that way as England lost wickets quickly and made around 200. The Aussies had turned it around and the English had failed to take advantage when they had Ricky Ponting's team on the ropes. They had lost and the series was all square.

4th Test


90,000 people went to watch the Australians with hope that they could win the test match. It was not worth it as Australia were rolled out for less than 100. England had answered their critics very well and had shown that they were a new England team. They had the resilience to come to a packed Australian cricket ground and on the back foot and performed magnificently. They had got them out in less than two sessions but England had to take full advantage of this awful batting display. Tremlett and Anderson got 4 wickets each.

Andrew Strauss and Cook came out with a skip in their step and completed the best possible day for England. They got to 157 for no wickets down. Another thing that even worse than the performance was the faith of the Australian fans. At the start of the day over 82,000 Australian fans were present. At the end of the day the English outnumbered the Australians by a couple of thousands.

Day 2 of this test match arrived but this time it was the Australians who took wickets as the English openers fell in quick succession but then Trott and Peiterson  made a decent partnership. Peiterson got a fifty and got out but Trott continued and made another huge score of  168. Prior then added just over eighty runs to the English innings and they were all out for 513 runs. This meant that the Aussies were 415 runs behind the high flying English.

Australia started quite well as Shane Watson got fifty but as usual he could not get to sixty. A couple of twenties followed but then a massive wicket was taken. Bresnan had taken Mike Hussey for a duck and this sent the English into ecstasy. Smith and Haddin made a good partnership but when they were gone England dismantled the tail with ease! Australia managed 258 and yet again the middle order was the main failure. England now had retained the Ashes and went 2-1 up in the series. They had nothing  to lose and they were going for the jugular as a win in the final test match would ensure their first win for 24 years in Australia. On the other hand the Aussies were playing for pride and to give their fans something to shout about. They had lost again by an innings and 157 runs.

5th Test


This match was held in Sydney and Australia won the toss and decided to bat. This proved to be a mistake as they were all out for less then 300 runs. Ponting had been injured so Khawaja came in. The first three batsmen got over thirty but then Clarke came and went and wickets fell on a constant basis. Siddle and the tail managed to prolong the innings and take them to 280 all out.

Strauss made 60 off just 58 balls and Cook started slowly but made it count making a massive 189. Apart from 36 from Peiterson the middle order fell. Then Bell came and played terrifically and got 115 runs then Prior continued his brilliant form and made 118. England got 644 all out this meant that this was their fourth score over 500 and their second over six hundred! Australia had almost no chance of saving themselves from series defeat so they came out swinging the bat.

The Aussies did nothing much apart from a fifty from Smith. The batsman had failed to produce and this time it would be the last as they were bowled out for 281. They had been humiliated again and lost by an innings again. They had lost 3-1 and all of their defeats were innings ones. The English had batted to innings less than the Aussies. WHAT A TOUR FOR THE ENGLISH!

The Conclusion


Ricky Ponting had not performed and had not got over fifty once. He did not lead his side and was very angry in his manner towards the umpires. Watson had on almost every occasion got around fifty runs but he was unable to make it into a big score. They relied too much on Hussey and when he lost nick they just could not stop losing. Clarke never got a good first innings score as his highest was 20. Haddin had batted well and so did Siddle alongside Johnson.

The Aussie bowlers were not accurate and didn't reverse the ball almost at all. Siddle gave everything and was rewarded but the rest were not determined at all in the slightest. The Aussie management were not patient and constantly shifted the line-up like England had done previously.

The English were simply more talented than Australia and had better management. The English converted their fifties into big hundreds and double tons.The English bowlers were very accurate and they took advantage of the conditions.
Well done England you were the better team!
