I thought you'd enjoy it. I'm still not completely sure how he managed to middle it in that position. Greenidge and Gomes at the wicket and Ritchie B in the commentary box. Those were the days!

Yup. I have to say that I'm not totally convinced by Bayliss, however. Something not quite right there, I think.
They were always going to struggle in India; lack of a convincing spinner and batsmen who aren't used to playing against genuine top-class spin bowling don't help.

Odd how Rashid blossomed while Saqlain was with the party; he's rather tailed off since he left. Looks like England need to sign Saqlain up PDQ.
Saqlain seems like a no-brainer but someone (I think it was Cook but could be wrong, maybe Strauss) was in the Guardian a few weeks ago playing down the need for him! I can't remember how they justified it but it seemed a touch implausible!
