Richard Hadlee's debut + early test bowling innings stats... interesting read... goes to show how much you learn through wicketless spells.

Hadlee was a wild quick that became more steady and controlled.

Southee or Broad doing the same would make them medium pace. They both (Broad especially) have to add pace not take it off like Hadlee did.

Another good bit of bowling from Anderson, finally a bit of swing this morn.

Let's get rid of Marshall sharpish and hopefully we can still think about the outside chance we have of winning this.

Perhaps Jimmy is starting to finally realise his potential? His action is looking more refined than ever, imo.

Did Nasser just compare James Anderson's fielding to Jonty Rhodes?

That was an outstanding stop though, full credit to him. But come on.

Bit OTT there, Rhodes is possibly the greatest fielder ever. But that stop was Rhodes-worthy. Terrific stuff.

We've had odd games where we've been brilliant in the field many times before, and here (Vaughan and MSP aside as inevitably) has been another. I won't hope it'll be anything long-term for a while yet, but we've had a fielding coach appointed recently and hopefully that might help it be so.

Sometimes worry a bit about How's reliance on that shot. Having said that he got that one beautifully.

How is one of the better players of that pull stroke I've seen. Not quite Aravinda-esque, but probably the division below.

Apparently the opening day of the Old Trafford Test will be one of these.

And for the second innings in a row we have a ball-change. :mellow: WTF is going on here? Why are we having so many crap quality balls this game?

Well, whatever it was - the first delivery with the new, better ball brings a big inswinger and a plumb lbw! :D
