Jaspersharpe · July 31, 2009, 12:43:07 pm

I hope they are bowling well and it's not just the shitty pitch.

Dr T · July 31, 2009, 01:00:28 pm

TMS seem to think the bowling is top shelf...

these are the sort of pitches test cricket needs..
Who wants to watch guys rack up runs effortlessly?

England have bowled exceptionally well.

goes to show, line up top of off, you're always a chance

Jaspersharpe · July 31, 2009, 01:05:53 pm

Anderson's figures for this spell 7.5-5-11-4.

Aussiegav · July 31, 2009, 02:08:16 pm

still thought broad should of made way for Harmy. his bowling certainly proves it at the moment

glad harmy isn't there now though.

Jaspersharpe · July 31, 2009, 02:38:47 pm

Yeah I think you're probably right.

Quote from: cricinfo

The Ashes battle is hotting up on the airwaves as well as the pitch after a falling out between Matthew Hayden and Geoff Boycott on the opening day at Edgbaston while working for Test Match Special. Hayden, who has joined for the rest of the summer, said Boycott's batting style "emptied cricket grounds" and Boycott promptly stormed out of the commentary box saying "don't need comments like that at my stage." They shook hands later, but the atmosphere is likely to be deliciously frosty

i'll be happy with 300+ on the board. good recovery from the tail. serious wagging. looks more batter friendly now.

Jaspersharpe · July 31, 2009, 02:51:53 pm

Never speak too soon mate!

butters · July 31, 2009, 02:52:17 pm

The last wicket falls with probably 30 more runs than should have been on the total - still Boyks has just made a good point that this is still a good score given the rubbish they served up yesterday.

Aussiegav · July 31, 2009, 02:52:57 pm

i'll stick to my beer i thinks...

Aussiegav · July 31, 2009, 03:02:24 pm

What price an England collapse this pm?

My big mouth.

We could do with Bopara doing a fuck of a lot better than he has so far in the series.

My stream's down.

32 for 1 (8.5 overs) Need to get dug in.

Jaspersharpe · July 31, 2009, 03:46:11 pm

Thanks but it's ok, I just meant the live stream of the Sky coverage that was working earlier. I've still got cricinfo.

39/1 is a positive recovery after 2/1!

He doesn't even get a look in at first change...

Can only hope that he finally makes something out of what are usually decent starts that are never capitalised on.

Jaspersharpe · July 31, 2009, 03:58:34 pm

Johnson on now. Let us pray that he continues to have a fucking mare!
