Story on England U-19 side. How they explain the 11-0 thrashing by BD? Well, we had been relaxing and they weren't. Their pitches were different, etc. etc. Anything but 'fessing up "you know, we lost becuase they were pretty darn good".

At least we know one thing. The English tradition of whinging every time they lose in the subcontinent is in safe hands with these bunch of up-and-coming Englishmen

BTW, for those not familiar with English idioms, my headline is a word play on that age old excuse "miss, I promise I did my homework but the dog ate it". I have been accused of being overly idiomatic so I thought I'd explain - so there Z!!!!
