Bye-bye also to Saj Mahmoud's test career. His lame refusal to make any attempt to run Warne out was a total disgrace.

I disagree. He looked more lost and inexperienced on this sort of stage than unenergetic and outclassed. A few more years before we can make any real judgment.

Maybe I'm being harsh on Saj. He had a difficult time being ignored by Flintoff for most of the time and he is genuinely fast. As you say - perhaps he just needs experience.

The run-out ****-up could also be partly explained by Fletcher's policy of standing in front of the stumps, rather than behind like everyone else does.
