haha...so Plunkett is in because of his batting prowess...uhhhmmm..OK

Yeah. That's what I said.

 

[grecian]

Yeah, Sidebottom and Vaughn, for Shah and Hoggard.

I guess they also think Anderson and Plunkett, are a little samey, so they've gone for a variation. Would rather have Anderson over Plunkett myself.

 

[grecian]

Oh, and Chanderpaul out injured. Joseph comes in

 

[Richard]

Yeah. That's what I said.

What did he do to deserve that?

 

[Fiery]

What did he do to deserve that?

The "...uhhhmmm..OK" probably

 

[Richard]

Almost a wicket 1st ball of the game...

 

[GIMH]

Well, Vaughan under pressure today it seems. Let's hope he can make it count today.

 

[Richard]

The "...uhhhmmm..OK" probably

There was nothing rude about said "...uhhhmmm..OK", though. I don't think it was even directed at S_F.

 

[Steulen]

The "...uhhhmmm..OK" probably

Hah. The post was just meant as a general; comment that Plunkett's batting prowess could be a factor in him playing, even if it was just in comparison to Anderson.

Don't care about that evil smilie though. Prefer ummmm OK myself, but to each his own.

 

[Richard]

Looks like I beat ya to it, Steuls... and I agree about that smiley that shall not be named.

Right you are.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Can any Australians tell me why its not on Fox?

 

[Richard]

Well, Vaughan under pressure today it seems. Let's hope he can make it count today.

Strauss too. Nothing I'd love more today than to be able to put up a report about them putting-on 250.

 

[Richard]

So Powell and Collymore open the bowling... and apparently Collymore was ill at Lord's, that's interesting.

 

[GIMH]

Apparently the pitch has been described as 'flatter than keira knightley with even less bounce'.

 

[Richard]

Haha. Don't know about the bounce, though, TBH - it's gone through fine so far. Probably tennis-ball-ish, though.

 

[Steulen]

BBC Sport beating Guardian Unlimited so far in these early exchanges.

EDIT: "wild and wide like an obese punk rocker"...CricInfo entering the fray

 

[Dasa]

FFS Foxtel why aren't you showing this?

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

'Cause we get Big Time Boxing instead!

Er, he quoted me? And laughed. And suggested that I'd said something that I didn't. And I used a smiley consisting of a yellow face with rolling eyes. I don't know why you see it the way that you do, but personally, I don't consider it evil. If I could have been bothered, I'd have rolled my eyes when I saw his post because I thought it was misguided, and so it seemed the most relevant smiley to use.
