Theres no overreacting here. Your posts in this thread have been boorish to say the least.Jeys, hyperbole much. Can't recall such an overreaction - at least, from one not given to overreaction - for quite some time.
Excellent, I'll pencil in a performance review for June.You're a new(ish) member - that sort of attitude towards me when new on the site is very common indeed. And most change their minds, too.
If you're still thinking the same thing in June, then we'll talk.
Like the build-up of Aluminium in the body, Richard's posts have a cumulative effect that will eventually cause a brain aneurysm.If you're still thinking the same thing in June, then we'll talk. Heath's top-blowing is most unexpected, however.
I don't.I miss Fiery at times like these.
Agree with all of that - was truly flabbergasted by Pietersen's antics, when I was watching the play live and saw the ball on the floor I thought "he hasn't seriously dropped that?" then upon replays saw the astounding casualness of it all. Lara (of '04) and Gibbs (of '99) immediately sprung to mind.Just been watching the highlights (so called, yadda, yadda...) of the second day. Very little to stop England fans reaching for the hemlock that I saw. Harmsion & Hoggard served up a lot of tripe (both outbowled by Colly & I think I need say no more than that) and our breakthrough finally came from a Taylor brain-fart rather than anything else. That's not to bag Taylor in any way, shape or form, by the way; 120 is not a bad score to chuck your wicket away on, but he was the architect of his own demise. Incidentally, while we're on that dismissal, I thought KP's "dropping" of the ball barely a couple of seconds after taking the catch was a wee bit dickheadish; just asking for trouble IMHO.
Can't help but fancy Cook (never the best hooker) was a wee bit injudicious to bring that shot out with stumps beckoning too. Just hope MPV can go on & we can (firstly) avoid the follow-on and then maybe get close to NZ's score.
Yep, was thinking that absolutely. Was brilliant, even in just a relatively small number of overs. Used just about everything he has available. If he can start getting the ball to turn later on, he'll be deadly, and might well come somewhere close to repeating his 10-for of last season against Sri Lanka.Just another thing on Vettori, he varied his speed, pace and angle of delivery very well in the overs he had yesterday. Take note Monty....
