You see our batsmen failing and blame the batsmen, some I agree but I also see good UK bowling, and where the UK batsmen succeed I clearly see our bowlers unable to leverage the sticky wicket!
But why are we shocked, our bowling has been erratic for years now, they live off a good or great match winning performance once every two or three games!
Their bowlers lines and length were terrific last night, especially on a very helpful pitch early on. Their opening bowlers went for bugger all and took wickets.
Wish we had lost the toss in hindsight the way it all went. My joy at winning the toss and batting batting was obviously misplaced. They would've batted on the dodgy track when it was bouncing, often at different heights too, seaming etc, and we would've batted on the road once it settled.
