We've all watched a lot of cricket... surely by now we know you cannot judge until

both teams have had a bat. I seem to recall major bedwetting during England's first innings in the opening test of the summer. A game we went on to win comfortably.

It's been a struggle but let us save the "we are s**t" and similar. These players arn't s**t. Sometimes the oppo just plays better.

Not aimed specifically at you Dubs.
