Certainly say so, but the balance of power has changed a few times in this match.
Special atmosphere at Lords, always been my favourite ground since my first visit.
Kinnear's impact is there for all to see, well done Broad for taking the advice off a battle hardened veteran who's played many outstanding innings against the Aussies. Let's just hope Joe instills the same attitude on the players this coming season and they refuse to leave the pitch when they get sent off.....
Returning to 'Broadgate' for a moment, have you heard Geoffrey Boycott's interview with BBC Radio 5 live's Peter Allen? It's worth a listen, but here's a little taster for you...
Peter Allen: "Why can't we have it played straight where cricketers do act like gentlemen and do what they know is right?"
Geoff Boycott: "Why don't we have your Tottenham players stop mouthing at linesmen and referees and swearing, if you want to be moral about it."
Peter Allen: "That would be a fine thing but cricket, I always thought, was slightly different."
Geoff Boycott: "You're living in cuckoo land".
You tell him Boycs.

Boycs was once a guest at my dad's company marquee at the Scarborough Cricket Festival.
He got absolutely sloshed and then.....
Walking out of the ground with my dad we notice him scratching his head in confusion.
'Boycs, what's up?' shouts my dad.
'I can't find my car!' shoults Boycs.
I **** you not.....
Them were the days.... a law unto themselves.
lovely bloke though.
I used to follow Yorkshire all over the place back in the day.
Moxon, Bairstow and Jarvis were my heroes.
Always kept an eye out for Durham but could never go all in and support them as Collingwood used to see wor lass and he was a belltop back then... although I concede he could play a bit (he's from roond here).
does anyone remember 'gravy' the west indian fan who used to dress up quite a bit. He was a character..
So was Sir Leonard, but I used to read up on the old England teams, I believe Tom Graveney might have come from your way too.
Met Trevor Bailey once in the West Indies.
There was quite a few characters including some rather large lady fans who were dressed and made up for the occasion and used to shake it quite a bit.
Watson not out 45
Rogers not out 36
Extras 0
Total for 0 81.
Don't like this, Watson and Rogers looking too comfortable.
