I think we are all in agreement there. Old Trafford was hard work for the bats and produced a low scoring game but at least it was a compelling watch.
England didnt field very well but the bowling ( Colly excepted ) was poor. Lewis and Broad were poor. Against quality bats gentle medium pace like Lewis will get murdered if the bowler isnt very precise and to be honest England have missed the extra pace and bounce of Flintoff. None of the Indians have been comfortable against it.
