Nice blog here. Remember, when the current England side lose their collective cojones, it ain't as often as has happened in the past…
England have always had a propensity for Surreying it right up!

Anyone remember any from the 90s too? If I remember correctly, the 1992 series vs Pakistan had some epic ones. Reverse swing, heh?

all we need is for Broad or Anderson (or Bresnan) to do an Ambrose tonight...

The thing with this is England then went to win the next Test at Bridgetown – the first time they'd done it ever – with Alec Stewart getting a ton in both innings! http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/63640.html (http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/63640.html)

One of the greatest shellackings followed by one of the greatest wins :)

You guys are history!

Apocryphal maybe, but what a line.
