Gripping Cricket
Grade: D-

The fourth day of the Test developed into a battle of wills between England’s interminable onslaught of bouncers and Australia’s interminable ducking and avoiding of bouncers.

It was gripping stuff. Assuming, that is, you enjoy being gripped by an overwhelming sense of deja vu, as ball after ball (after ball) followed the exact same path.

On the plus side, imagine how dull it would have been if England weren't so devoted to saving Test cricket.
