From this position anything less than 400 would be dire. I would be looking at 500+ by the end of tomorrow giving yourself a chance of an innings win.Well, the rest of the lineup should be pretty rested....
What do you guys reckon would be a good result for England in this innings?
400-450?
400 you must be kidding!!Well, the rest of the lineup should be pretty rested....

It's all good. I've had this to keep me going: YouTube - Kevin Pietersen Playing Blindfold Cricket - The Ashes 2010 - Brylcreem Commercial - [HD]Only a week after you thought you would...
I think the worst thing is that he's not even even bits-and-pieces. Okay, he's a pretty average spinner, but so are all of Australia's options. He's a number nine bat though and he doesn't have great hands - he's been picked as a specialist bowler and I'm telling you now that he wouldn't get anywhere near Bangladesh or Zimbabwe's Test teams. He's just not contributing at all. Get O'Keefe in - even if he averages 80 with the ball like Doherty (which I doubt he would - honestly he's a much better bowler) he'll take catches at gully and score runs.My God Doherty is village.
Clarke > Everyone if you're playing India.Seriously I'm temped to say Clarke > Doherty. Clarke, once upon a time, was a good flighter of the ball.

It was just such a bizzare selection. O'Keefe has achieved just as much as Doherty with the ball and is a far superior bat and fieldsman. If they wanted a SLA to get Pietersen out... surely you'd go for the SLA that got Pietersen out?I think the worst thing is that he's not even even bits-and-pieces.

They'd have been as well giving Smith the series for experience.I think the worst thing is that he's not even even bits-and-pieces.
