Well you got one more wicket!

Can't say I'm unhappy to see the back of Richardson, jeez what a boring player. Neither was I unhappy he was out when he clearly got an inside edge. I really did feel he was extremely fortunate to get away with some of his play and misses, dropped catches etc - he was living a charmed life, and being so unbelievably stubborn and boring with it - good riddance to him - he's like a bloody limpet.

England's bowlers really do need a different policy with Richardson - he's a 'no risk taker' batsman, and if you let him, he'll just sit there all day letting balls go by. You've got apply pressure to him, for some reason not scoring doesnt seem to bother him in any way - they've got to make him play the ball, force him into making a mistake.
