All anybody's saying is that England has had the better of the conditions. That is what happened, regardless of minefield pitches. When the cloud comes in, Broad and co are best suited to exploiting it. As a result, our batsmen have had to work damn hard to overcome it, something England have yet to worry about.
I genuinely don’t believe beyond that first day at Lords when as I said Australia did do genuinely well to post the score they did, either side has had to work hard regarding any extra factors.
I think both orders have faced some good, consistent bowling at times and also some fairly uninspired stuff.
The luck factor of losing the tosses I agree with - not for any conditional factors but the idea that England can steer the game.
