Nervous

Why is that as England supporters we're all so nervous? There are less than 19 overs to go and 5 wickets to get - it should be a dead-set draw. But somehow, I'm shifting uncomfortably in my seat. I can almost visualise one of Ian Bell's aimless swishes outside off-stump or Prior top edging a pull as he tries to hit a six in a game we're trying to draw. And I can see numbers 8-11 being mopped up in 4 balls. Call me a pessimist but if we are going to play four number 11s then it's not going to do much for the nerves of England supporters in these situations!

The best way to settle the nerves? A pint while watching it at the pub...
