Too much is being made out of the used pitch, just because england loss.
I highly doubt a pitch that only been used for 100 overs before the game, will be so tired and way slower than a fresh pitch would be.
most likely even a fresh pitch would have played the exactly same way.

Love him or hate him, he's a unique character, and his descriptions of pigeons, cakes, buses and planes represented one of the sounds of the summer for many generations of TMS viewers.
Mine’s (knighthood) been turned down twice. I’d better black me face.

Boycott wasn't a model cricketer off or on the field. He was a fine opening bat, but if we're just considering onfield excellence, then I nominate: Graham Thorpe, Kevin Pietersen, Graham Swann, James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Bob Willis, Derek Underwood, Alan Knott and Alastair Cook.
Quite apart from my (possibly prejudiced) gut reaction that anyone who thinks he merits being called Sir Whatever is probably a bit of an arse.
