Yes. He must have misjudged length and I am starting to think that it is the combination of Monty's skid off the pitch combined with batsmen misjudging his length which causes batsmen to appear to get themselves out to him.

Tremlett is a better option than Broad and yeah he is no mug with bat as well!

Understandable after getting out to the part timer.

I knew this would happen. Broad finally gets a wicket, but it's now meaningless in the eyes of many because it's 'only Morkel'.
Even if he mops up the tail, while bringing the economy rate down, he will still get crucified, because he hasn't taken top order wickets.
He hasn't bowled well, for sure, but I feel for him. He seems to have the mental toughness we need and KP made a specific point of this when the side was announced yesterday. I hope we stick with him, but admit he does need to start taking top order wickets.

Yeah dire stuff. Broad really has been a class below and doesn't deserve this at all.

Taking tail-end wickets when having poor figures bowling at the top-order is always meaningless.

Not meaningless, but close to such.

This post is all over the place, much like Broad's bowling.
Watch Nasser's 3rd man thing...

It's meaningless in that he's looked toothless all day and all he can get is a swinging tailender. All he's done today is taken all the pressure off that the others had built up.

A bit unusual in that Pietersen actually seems to be deliberately trying to cause all the bowlers to get good figures. Don't see that too often.
Undeserving bowlers getting gifted tail-end wickets isn't that unusual, but it's unusual to see a captain apparently attempting to manufacture it into happening.
