Harmison with another very wayward ball down the leg-side, he has had a few slip down there.

Monty's the only way this won't end up a draw. Harmison has been massively disappointing, and fielding like the Python allegedly does. So was Hoggy (disappointing) before the injury. Plunkers is okay, but he still lets pressure off the batsmen, with too many loose balls.

Not looking forward to seeing Colly and Bell bowling lots of overs.

 

[Prince EWS]

Ahh Harmison - so typically unreliable in a time of need. Dire bowling.

 

[grecian]

Was that ball worse then GBHs opener for the Ashes?

 

[Prince EWS]

Do they bowl from next to the pitch over in Durham or something?

 

[grecian]

Unlucky, but if you bowl rubbish, you can't expect a third slip.

Quality bowling here. Way to let off any pressure there would have been on Sarwan to perform with the bat.

 

[grecian]

Bring back Saj, all is forgiven. In fact didn't Kabir Ali take 8 earlier this week?

 

[PY]

C'mon Monster, you legend. Another straight one.

Nothing bowling after lunch, but more poor batting gives England another wicket.

 

[grecian]

Monty strikes, one man bowling team here.

 

[Prince EWS]

Panesar to pick up Sarwan with the arm-ball no-one knows he possesses yet, IMO.

Has to be M/L nomination worthy, does that.

 

[Prince EWS]

Plunkett a bit unlucky here, but he only has himself to blame TBH, given his propensity to bowl absolutely dire deliveries once an over.

Good call.

Why lots of commentators seem to think Monty doesn't have an arm ball is beyond me tho. I'd guess it's probably picked up more wickets than his standard SLA spinner.

More direness from Plunkers here. Wide followed by a middle-and-leg half volley duly clipped away which Monty does well to stop on the boundary to save two.

Not really, what's the point in having the field all over the place when they don't stop the bad balls and you've 553 on the board?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ah, Prior shells a regulation take from one Chanders lets go. First obvious bollock he's dropped & not a bad one to miss in all honesty.

 

[grecian]

Yesssssssss

 

[BoyBrumby]

Bowling Monty. Brave decision from Rauf, but totally correct; pad, then bat.

 

[The_Bunny]

Monty doing all the work for England here

 

[chalky]

Ganga pads up to straight one and goes LBW a bit of a one man show from Monty albeit with some shocking batting from the Windies on this form they can't be too far ahead of Bangladesh.
