crap. crap and double crap. england are ****ed

 

[Scaly piscine]

Congrats Sidebottom and Anderson. ****ing idiot batting lineup.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Well, 281 to win is more than we would have expected, but it could have been a bit more than that as well.

 

[Briony]

Except Tom England was looking down the barrel yesterday and had Colly be given out early today as he should have they could have set under 250.

 

[jammay123]

anderson and sidebottom nneed to come out all guns blazing and take top order wickets to redeem themselves.

 

[gio]

Really really poor from England's tail again. Twice when England were getting into a good position, someone throws it away. First Pietersen, now the tail. Stupid.

 

[chalky]

I think it's 50/50 at the moment obviously early wickets are key for England.

 

[pasag]

Should be a great chase. Would have tipped SA, but with Freddy back, I reckon England are a good chance.

 

[alternative]

Feels like england missed their best batsmen - Stuart Broad

The only one of the tail who I'd criticize here is Anderson. Sidebottom put on fifty with Collingwood, and Panesar didn't face a ball.

Criticizing the tail is harsh given what the last four wickets yielded, it's the top order that needs far more criticizing.

Whilst Sidebottom did really well, he played at one he really needn't have. Anderson's shot was poor.

 

[pasag]

Monty's really going to have to justify his place in the side here. This is what he's here for. Cmon England anyways!

 

[chalky]

No Flintoff with new ball suprising

 

[Tom Halsey]

Tbh I'd say he just got a ball that was too good for a tailender.

I just think there's a lot of fickleness in here atm which I'm struggling to comprehend tbh.

 

[Tom Halsey]

if only the english batsmen showed this sort of application in the first innings this game would most likely beyond doubt by now.

Changed your tune a bit (wrt Sidebottom).

 

[grecian]

Anderson's shot was poor.

It just wasn't one poor shot, he's a tail-ender I could forgive him for that, but he wafted the bat aimlessly for the entire over. Utterly brainless, he should of been delighted the ball wasn't bowled at the stumps, and left it all alone.

 

[cover drive man]

Think England will need a few of wickets within the next 20ish overs to win this. And I dont have to much confidence in this side.

Well your right, I would of taken Ryan's innings when he came in, top stuff.

It's just a bit tense at the moment and people are venting, I think.

It's not enough runs IMO, Saffies by 6 wickets, on another pitch which has deadened out.

 

[jammay123]

but sidebottom showed good application and then threw it away like a plonker.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Er, Tim? The ball?
