Nope. This is Harmison a surface, as i said before this tour i knew this would/could happen.
They have been setting clever fields for KP to compound his anxieties, Trott looked the most nervous he's been in test cricket, while Prior needed to settle a bit.
The players I feel that have have let themselves down in this innings are :
KP - Is lacking his usual confidence but was out to a very tame pull shot. Needed time to get himelf set, get acquainted with the pitch before trying that shot.
Trott - Not so much for his dismissal, but the way he batted, seemed in a complete rush, poor shot selection, and the end was inevitable.
Prior - Another hook shot gone wrong when England really needed him.
The problem is, Harmison would have spent the last month moping about and getting homesick and whether this is his kind of surface or not, he wouldn't have played for weeks and would be ****.
Broad can hit the deck, he's 6' 5" ffs.
KP should be good enough to overcome the field settings, but you're right, they have been good. The problem is more with KP though, and fighting his way out of this form. He is obviously good enough to do it, but we may need him to do it in the second dig.
A chance in a thousand ? That's it mate, far more positive outlook!
bring the PEYN
At least this test it wasn't de Wet Steyn.
