In reply to Chris the Tall:
Ah...I remember the 90s well enough. Thats when England couldnt win a series against the West Indies or Australia and didnt fare too well against India, South Africa or anyone else for that matter.
I was more thinking about last Summer and Winter when England had a habit of being 3 or 4 down for 30 or 40 runs.
51/3 seems a relative success!!
