England cricket team are mind-numbingly lucky

came within 2 runs of bottling the 2nd test from a seemingly unassailable position before being bailed out by a dodgy umpiring decision. Did bottle the 3rd Test from a seemingly unassailable position. Almost bottled the 4th test from an even more unassailable position after a stack of dodgy umpiring decsions in their favour.
Aussies now know all they have to do is bowl Warne as much as possible and even on a non-spinning pitch England will go into the rabbit-in-the-headlights mode. If they've got any sense they'll play the other leg-spinner, McGill, instead of their dodgy third seamers. And unless it rains a lot they'll have the game in the bag.

Really hope England's luck lasts for one more match though.
