South Africa hold whip hand 7:25pm on 19 Jul 2008 Spot on as usual Aggers, No place to hide for Vaughan, Moores, the England team AND the selectors.

It feels very unfair to vilify Pattinson on the basis of this performance as by all accounts he was as suprised at being called up as anybody!

Other than a noticeable improvement in the fielding, since Mr Moores has appeared on the scene,can we honestly say that we are a better team? I think not.

As a team England have undoubtably had the worst of the conditions but, all the same, the lack of penetration from ALL the bowlers is now more than just a little worrying. It seems that putting in good performances against a weak NZ batting line up are not the guide to form and ability that some would have us believe.
Terminal 5. An email arrives. 10:46pm on 15 Apr 2008 I have many friends who work for BA and BAA and all I can say is this. The design of the building may well look stunning but the simple fact is that it is not fit for purpose. Only 60% of the gates can accomodate Jumbo jets due to the positioning of the APU's, the entire baggage system was flawed from the start and many people were talking about the disaster waiting to happen BEFORE the terminal opened and most indicative of the typical 'britishness' of the building is that the service access roads that run under the terminal to aid freight movements around the airport were so badly designed and thought out that they could not accomodate the lorries BAA use due to the corners being to tight!! They spent a month down there with diamond cutters trying to round off the corners more!! The information I have is that this is actually the tip of the iceberg......the really bad stuff we don't know about....The Olympics is going to be fun isn't it?
