Looks like your bottom dollar is safe, Murali is ripping through the English batsmen. 125-6 at tea.

he`s had a good test in fairness to him, took a nice 5 wicket hall and has looked like Englands best bowler, very unimpressed with flintoff in this series though, to me there is too much responsibility on his shoulders

they expect him to hammer 4`s and 6`s with the bat, then he`s the "go to man" when they need a wicket badly, plus, he does sli fielding, and now captain, the sooner Vaughan gets back for them the better

mike65

Ever England captain since the year dot seems to come unstuck with the bat.
