| Fletcher bawls out England at training session
England are now playing the second of their warm up games in what is reportedly their shortest ever warm-up period before a test series following a winter break. Yesterday, Duncan Fletcher was unimpressed: Quote: |

Footnote: Angus Fraser, writing in The Independent, says that Fletcher "reminded England of their responsibilities". I've had to do that to folks at work once or twice: it's the same as "giving them a roasting".
