Can't help thinking it's time for Gayle and Chanderpaul to swap places. Gayle should only be opening in ODIs.

Totally agree with you.

Geoff Boycott was talking about how cameo innings don't win test matches. His style is only suitable for ODIs atm. He needs to sort out his technique or IMO he should get dropped.

Hoggard not too far off that either. Amazing what happens when you give the knew ball to two guys who know how to bowl.
Yes, I've been trying to resist a knock at the gruesome twosome. It being a bit like fish in the proverbial barrel, but this does make a refreshing change:)

I expect Harmy will still get a cheer when he comes on, though. Having the crowd behind him may help - or it may put him under pressure even more.

As for Shiv, I know they like having him at 5 because he's such a good player of spin - but I don't think he'll be facing much today.

Boycott - "Morton was unlucky there, Monty actually fielded it"


Such a quality commentator.
Haven't the jokes about Panesar's fielding become a bit passe now? Everyone knows how hard he's been working at it. I certainly wouldn't say he's any worse than Boycott was.

Sidebottom being a bit Jekyll and Hyde really, 4 maiden overs and 3 overs that got smacked a bit, along with the two wickets.

Colly second change for mine after Harmi. Top umpiring again, here, looked out to me, first up.
