Might need to put someone behind him like we did back in primary school.

I remember one match in 2007 where he conceded loads of byes but that was notable not for him conceding them but for the sheer woefulness of Harmison and Plunkett's bowling in causing them.
Never in Test cricket have I seen worse bowling. Even Devon Malcolm wasn't that bad.

Ryan Hinds in. I'm pretty nervous for him; I've been calling for his selection for about eighteen months now. Hopefully he doesn't chuck a Sinclair.

Yup- turned slightly less than they had been going, took the outside edge, excellent catch from Colly at first slip. FFS Rudi.

I was just thinking "isn't it great when a bowler gets a wicket he's been wrongfully denied earlier?"... then Swann gets wrongfully denied ANOTHER one.
He's really getting plenty of drift here. And Hinds was absolutely plumb.
Shame, as I too have thought he should've been in the team, properly, a long time ago.

Monty had better condition's in India, and he got very little.
Swann comes in and picks up 2 in his first over.

They're not really. It's the same pitch Suillemann Benn got no change from, and he was turning it square at Sabina Park. Swann's getting good turn, but nothing massive, and it's down to good bowling. But what's really been good about his bowling in this spell is the drift. It's got him two wickets and three wickets that weren't.
The tendency to dismiss quality spin bowling as all down to the pitch is kinda annoying, tbh. I don't mean at you, just in general.

i'm a spinbowler in holland haha matting ftw!
loved every minute of my england tour, although the wickets were sometimes fairly greenish I got more turn then matting ever gave me!
I guess Swann is just in form, a quality spin bowler no...a good spinbowler yes i'd say.

Sorry, you're suggesting if you want more correct decisons, you should bowl at Daryl Harper's end?

Your opinion of him would be improving quite a bit if you were watching him here I feel
