Re: England vs India Third test

In what sense? the fact that we bowl well and win the game doesn't change the fact that a lot of our batters got out in a very poor manner yesterday. If you're 3-0 down at half time due to 3 goalkeeping howlers, but win the game 4-3 it doesn't alter the fact that your keeper has had a nightmare. If...
