Four in a row

Well now there can be no denying, England cannot play ordinary spin bowling.

The so called no.1 test playing Nation has now lost 4 test matches in a row mostly due to its inability to play slow bowling. Don't get me wrong, the likes of Herath are good bowlers but not in the same class as Murali or Warne. We can spend all day blaming the conditions, but the truth is the conditions are the same for both sides and if England are incapable of beating these teams, then they do not deserve to be no.1 in the world.

There is one test remaining on this short tour and  certainly hope Strauss, Cook and co. will show they do have the technique to score runs on these wickets.I
