2nd Ashes test

As Stuart (Cricinfo) so beautifully put it:-

Stuart : "And for those of you under 30, this is what Ashes cricket was like in the late 80s and all of the 90s. You could go out for hours, read a book, watch a film and still not miss England taking a wicket."

Guessing the Guardian sports writer is not impressed by Ali's bowling then at the moment

117th over: Australia 424-3 (Voges 24, Smith 168) Short, rank rubbish from Ali to Smith, who stands there, waits a while, has a cigarette, downloads the new Wilco album, listens to it (it’s only 35 minutes), goes for a comfort break, sends a couple of funny Tweets, adjusts his pads, adjusts his helmet, writes a blog about how good he thinks the new Wilco album is, makes a tea and then pulls it square for four.

The game changing more than the pitch. Quick runs and scoreboard pressure required. England did decent job yesterday of controlling run scoring after that first session.
